# Productivity
All Productivity notes →Recovery Systems
Deliberate recovery — deload periods, true days off, active rest — as an engineered input to sustained output, not something that only happens by accident.
Sleep
Sleep as the highest-leverage recovery input, and the consistency habits (schedule, light, wind-down) that protect it more than any single trick.
2 — Nutrition
Eating patterns that keep energy and focus stable across a working day, instead of optimizing for a metric unrelated to cognitive output.
Exercise
Regular movement as a direct input to cognitive performance and mood regulation, not a separate line item competing with work hours.
Stress Management
Distinguishing acute stress that sharpens performance from chronic stress that erodes it, and the deliberate practices that keep it in the first category.
4 — Preventing Burnout
The early warning signs of burnout and the load-management habits that catch it before it forces a much larger correction.
