Here is how I would double my energy asap if I had to start all over again

Before you read the whole thing, go to the comment section and leave a comment about how on a scale of 1 to 10 your energy levels are as of today.

Energy is a very important thing. With high energy levels you will:

Get more work done in less time
Improve your networking & relationships
Close more deals (by being pumped and full of energy during the sales call)
Improve your overall health

So, here is what to do step by step:

1. Identify the root causes of your low energy levels 🤔

There are a lot of factors contributing to your energy levels. Some of them are genetic, but most are something we can change and improve. Here are some of the most popular root causes:

Bad sleep
Bad diet
Lack of physical activity
Irregular glucose levels
Not enough hydration
Vitamin D deficiency
Bad caffeine usage
Too much stress
Bad gut health

2. Pick the most leverage problem to fix 📈

Not all problems are equal. Fixing the ones that once fixed will get you the most results in the least time possible is the key. Always remember of the 80/20 rule (pareto principle).

Let's say for you fixing 👇 will give you the most results:

Sleep
Diet
Glucose levels
Caffeine
Hydration

Also make sure to fix them one by one in the order that will get you the most results asap

3. List out specific actions that you need to do in order to solve these problems 📝

The listed problems are what I call the "big problem". Now we need to find "small problems". What do I need by that? Well let's say Glucose levels are the bigger problem, then the smaller problem would be what you eat. Based on what smaller problems you are struggling with, make the action steps list.

Sleep: Action 1, Action 2, Action 3, etc
Diet: Action 1, Action 2, Action 3
Glucose levels: Action 1, Action 2, Action 3
Caffeine: Action 1, Action 2, Action 3
Hydration: Action 1, Action 2, Action 3

4. Every week, do the actions required to fix the problem set for the week. 🏃‍♂️

Example: For the week 1, we have set the goal to stabilize glucose levels. The actions for that would be mostly about what we eat and how we eat it (meal routines, right order of foods)

Here, we can list two types of actions:

Actions that are easy to turn into habits
Actions that are hard to turn into habits

If its the first one, then simple habit anchoring works well

If its the second one, then we will have to use more specific strategies for creating habits. This way, the mental resistance just wont be there at all and we will easily be consistent with it

5. Review the progress 💭

Its important to review the progress you have made every few days / every week. This way you will know what you are exactly struggling with and what to focus on in order to change the action list into actuall habits.

6. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. 🔁

Now its just the matter of repetition. Picking another problem from the list, fixing it, making progress, reviewing the progress, making changes. One after another.

If you follow the system, the results will come. I promise.

Let me know in the comments what do you think of this :)
