How to improve your sleep, energy and productivity

According to fitness coach Craig Ballantyne, we just need to follow a simple 10-3-2-1-0 formula if we’re looking to improve our productivity.

  • 10 hours before bed: No more caffeine
  • 3 hours before bed: No more food or alcohol
  • 2 hours before bed: No more work
  • 1 hour before bed: No more screen time
  • 0: The number of times you hit the snooze button in the morning

I don’t use the snooze button on my alarm clock. Perhaps I should give the other points a try!

(I read about this topic here.)

Answering machine messages

If you’re looking for an answering machine message, you might like to try this one here (but please don’t take it too seriously!):

“Hello there, I’m not at home at the moment but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Just wait for the beep.”

Or try this one:

“Hi there, you’re talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need new windows or a hot tub and, yes, their carpets are clean. They give to a local charity and don’t need their pictures taken. If you’re still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you later.”
