  Next up, I had to define some rules which would help eliminate possible distractions, and help me stay focused on the activities I wanted to do.
  
• 
  Rule number 1: I can only use social media during food slots.
  
• 
  Rule number 2: it's possible to meet friends from 4 p.m. on, if no work is urgent.
  
• 
  Rule number 3: I'm able to take two days off each week to do what I feel like.
  
• 
  Rule number 4: as long as I'm feeling healthy and motivated, the routine can be followed every single day without any off days.
