    Not sure if best, but:

    • cleaning the kitchen in the evening. I listen to podcasts or music while doing it, and the mornings are easier as I don’t have to confront mountains of dirty dishes.
    • reading - I try to dedicate at least one hour a day and read a book. I guess with general decline of the content on the Internet it got much easier to go offline.
    • meditation and relaxation techniques - I started doing this as a teenager and thanks to hours I’ve put in I have no problems falling asleep. Even when I am high on caffeine I can relax my body during the night and wake in the morning not feeling like a zombie.

      cleaning the kitchen in the evening

      To add to this, I set a five minute timer. I have ADHD, so even starting on cleaning can feel like a mountain to climb. That five minute timer is a really good way to see just how much you can get done in that amount of time. And as an added bonus, once you’ve started you figure you may as well finish.
