Finally have some time to *cough* start *cough* this project.
The last few days have been crazy stressful, but something that helped is taking naps between working sessions.
I realized that I have been losing my focus, which resulted in me being less productive, even if I have all the time provided by pulling off all-nighters. Because I thought that since I won't be doing that much with said mental conditions, I might as well take a 1 to 3 hour nap, then jump back to work.
I've pretty much developped the habit of not sleeping if there is unfinished work, which results in me procrastinating after finishing a large project due to fatigue. Being able to sleep a bit as soon as I realize that I am tired makes a huge difference.
This may be obvious, but for those like me who pull all-nighters all the time, definitely try to take naps instead of squeezing more work time out of your sleep. Set an alarm, throw your phone as far as possible and tell yourself that the next few hours is only for sleeping (because I realized that if I have a phone to distract me or if I think about other things, I only get more stressed and tired).
Good luck everyone!
