I appreciate the congratulations! Glad to see there is another EE on the forum.Congratulations on the PE! (my BS is EE and my ME friends went from struggling EIT to sweating the PE). It's more major than you think.
And I agree a good night's sleep is so important. I can survive most everything if I've slept well.
How is meditation working out for you? I have no patience for it. I'll "meditate" when I go out walking but I can't just sit there.
Meditation has been great! It really helps me be aware of how I'm thinking, helps me think rationally and control my emotions. I think knowing how you think and helping mitigate your biases are a huge competitive advantage in business/work. It also helps your relationships with friends and family as well.
My preferred way to start a habit is the Tim Ferris/James clear model, make it easy. As long as I do it everyday, even if its for a minute it counts. This way you don't have to use your will power and can build the neural habit pattern in your brain. I use headspace app because it keeps track of my daily streak and helps feed my dopamine centers to incentive me to not miss a day. People have also recommended Sam Harris's app as well.
