Here's why you don't feel any noticeable difference with most supplements that you are taking:

Your body just doesn't absorb them.

Quick hack to fall asleep faster:

Your body has 361 pressure points.
Pressure on these points = relaxation.

Using an acupressure mat you can easily trigger these points which "force" your body to relax.

I use it in combination with stoic quotes 15 minutes before bed.

The self-development trap:

More = better

This works in the beginning
...until there's a tipping point where "more" becomes the thing holding you back.

Then it's about doing less, better.

Here are 6 "micro-decisions" that helped me achieve more by doing less:

If you can't think clearly after eating a meal, this 'hidden' ingredient might be causing it:

Food companies know you avoid "sugar" on labels.

That's why they came up with 61+ different names for the same thing.

Avoid anything ending in "-ose" or that is a "syrup"

I've tracked the productivity data of more than 400 entrepreneurs, here's a sneaky little hack we found for sustained focus:

Use a "dopamine delay" system

Apps that "delay" access (to dopamine).

Weird life hack:

Modulate your audio to different activities.

Little things like this compound.

Regular alarms = Russian roulette—2/3 chance you'll wake in REM being shocked out of paralysis

Instead, use SleepCycle
