or — start really small. And build up from there. Make it sustainable. Delete the excess.
like, you start tiny: work out for 3 minutes, meditate for 2 minutes, etc. And then once the basic structure is established, slowly increase the length of each activity.

Start small, be gracious— I think the two ways that we often kill routines or goals is that we start where we want to end (ex, ‘I will run a marathon this year’ instead of ‘I will go for a run once a week’), and we get discouraged by setbacks, or see them as final.
Start with a keystone habit— like making the bed every morning, or putting coffee on. Making the bed makes it easier to stay out of bed during the day, and putting coffee on can anchor your breakfast routine. If you drink tea, maybe fill your kettle and put a teabag in your favorite mug at night, so it’s ready in the morning.
If your goal is building a routine, try setting three alarms: one in the morning, one at midday, and one in the early evening. This is a good way to be aware of time and break your day into segments.

-Be honest with yourself where your fitness is. ease yourself into intensity over weeks.
-Look up easy, no fuss routines at first and figure out what you like doing.
-developing consistency and creating a lifestyle that involves working out and being active is super important.
-eat real food as much as possible. Cut out processed foods. drink a lot of water. Cut alcohol down.
-establish some measurable goals and reverse engineer them by looking to people who have achieved those goals.

Its cliched but it's true. I've got a bad case of scatter brain at all times. But I've found peace and progress in dedicating small, increasing increments of time to the things I am interested in. Take it one day at a time and don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. But try to be consistent. 10 minutes of this, 15 minutes of that. Before you know it you develop a habit that is actually good for you. It also helps me to put my phone on airplane mode and disconnect while I do these things. Just me and the interest. It's not a science and it won't happen overnight. But before you know it you'll just be sucked into rhythms of the things you want to do rather than the things that rot your brain.

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
