- Same. I have been low carb for years, but at one point, I decoded to go full actual ketogenic. I never remember being more productive and focused than in true ketosis.
Note that getting there is something you need to test for. I did blood drop tests at home with a device to measure ketone levels.
Also recommend some materials from Tim Ferris on this topic including the Dom D’Agostino part of Tools of Titans and I think some podcasts on the topic.

- "Extreme Ownership" - Jocko Willink and Leif Babin : This is an amazing book which will make you stop complaining no matter what. It's all on you to make it better.

- I recommend these books, in this order:
Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill (this is timeless!! MUST READ)
The Personal MBA - Josh Kaufman (this will give you a well-rounded education on business, if I had this before college I wouldn't have been a Business Management major!!)
The First 20 Hours - Josh Kaufman (rapid skill acquisition)
The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss (how to break down complex stuff into the most essential parts, and win)
Tools of Titans - Tim Ferriss (stand on the shoulders of giants and see how other prominent folks are successful)
- I struggle with this too.
To combat it, I divide my long term, life changing goals into one or more of three categories: healthy, wealthy, wise. It's an idea taken from Time Ferris' book, Tools of Titans.
If a goal I have doesn't fit into one of those categories, it's not worth my effort and is simply a diversion. If it's a diversion, I only look at over the weekend, when I wind down, to ensure I'm not losing focus or procrastinating throughout the (highly focused, productive) working week.
Hopefully you can find some wisdom or knowledge in my approach and either adopt it or craft your own.
Cheers.
