#17For me, it was a tidy set of lifestyle choices that I made, all at once:
1. Stopped drinking. 2. Started running three miles every morning, crack of dawn. 3. Stopped watching TV. 4. Cut out almost all junk/fast food.
The change in my productivity and general sense of well-being has been profound.

#20Picking up the habit of working regularly on side-projects.
I am lucky enough to have a couple of friends interested in working on the same project as myself. The habit of all of us getting together for a couple of hours during the weekend has tremendously advanced the project.
It helps to work with friends or people in general, because it rarely happens that none of us are in the mood for working. And when we are, we pull the other ones in.
For about a year before starting this, I would only ever so often sit down to advance the project, but after starting this 1-2 times per week get-together with them, the project has improved (complete code refactoring + 2 versions out on the App Store), in about 3 months.
As well, myself, I have improved as a programmer and have gotten a rekindled interest in programming. I think my friends can agree that it has affected them similarly.
