Playing Call Of Duty with the boys. Slumping into bed at 3 AM. Groggily waking up for lunch. Binging Anime on/and YouTube with bloodshot eyes.

That was most of my college life — religiously hitting the gym was the only productive thing I did in those years.

Even 2 nightmarish bouts of insomnia failed to beat sense into my thick skull.

But during the 2020 lockdowns, a series of sanity-destroying migraines did the job.

In the 2 years since, I’ve reinvented my lifestyle—regaining 75+ weekly hours to pour into fulfilling work, self-growth, leisure, and life.

I want to share the 5 most profound lifestyle changes among them.

None of these are “instant” hacks — it’ll take at least a week or two for you to witness their power.

Treating My Smartphone Like My Toothbrush

The average Joe’s screentime is around 7 hours—thanks to gaming and social media, mine was 12+ hours.

A scarier stat? We check our phones around 340 times a day.
