Going in to Monk Mode

Meditate before bed, try to remember everything that happened in the day, this will be a more practical form of mediation for you, if you want more help on mediation, you can message me anytime. You can still do the morning meditation but read a book on meditation, Mindfulness in Plain English is a good start, this like many Buddhist literature is free. I also suggest in the morning you do some light Yoga or stretches, but you can also do them in free time, flexibility is a really important part of fitness and sports, here is a routine I recommend since it's catch-all, you can even divide them up, don't have to do them all at once, some of the hand things you could do on the commute, you can do them during morning meditation but it's like intermediate-advanced meditation technique.

Shoulder Extension

Underarm shoulder stretch

Rear hand clasp

Full squat

Standing pike

Reclining hero

Standing straddle

Glute Bridge

Lying twist

Don't let the term Yoga put you off, they're all just solid flexibility stretches, like 15 mins is enough if you do 90 seconds for each while alternating every 15 seconds or so where applicable.

About the commute home I don't know if you can read books, I personally can't, I get headaches and even the slightest one puts me off any good book, however what I do do, is I downloaded the Pimsleur program to learn languages I think this is a better suggestion.

There's a couple periods in history I'm infatuated with, they give me a deeper understanding of the world and the way it works. There is so much to learn online for free.

I play music, and while I understand you won't be able to afford to buy an instrument, you can spend time learning theory. It's a useful way to apply all that math you learned in school to real life. I'd suggest this if saving up for an instrument (guitar or keyboard would be best) sounds appealing to you.

Find some local things to do with people. Meetup.com or something like it, hell find a local park and look for people having fun. Basketball, Frisbee, soccer, something to get you outside and social.

Question: how do you make money online?

You can definitely spend A LOT more time in the gym then 3 lifts a week.

Tanning can improve SMV as well.
