It is almost time to shed a tear for the passing of this 10 Days of Reclusion experiment (I’m free tomorrow at 5pm!), but thankfully, not before one last video.

My sleep quality, energy levels, motivation, and mood have all been affected by my reclusion productivity experiment. Here are five ways I’m trying to fix that.
