I seem to have two modes: “healthy/functioning/high-achieving”, and “unhealthy/low-functioning/low-achieving”. High: wake up early, cook healthy foods, get exercise, low caffeine, zero alcohol, lots of productivity, low anxiety Low: all the opposite. But how do I mode switch?

(Actually, it’s more like “low mode” is just more *inconsistent* productivity; it still happens but in larger, higher-variance bursts.)

I know *how* to do the high mode, but if I’m in the low mode I never feel like I have the energy/bandwidth/willpower to do all the things necessary to switch. It’s hard to say “yes tomorrow I’ll just rise early, jog, cook breakfast and do dishes before journaling at 8!” or w/e

And if I’m in low mode, just one jog/homecooked meal/good nights’ sleep isn’t enough to switch back. This feels similar to some other class of problems where many things are all inter-dependent and progress requires small adjustments to many things at once.
