Get a nice big breakfast in, really pack those calories in, and then drink about a gallon of water throughout the day. I work in a manual labor field and it can be hot or cold, muggy or dry but my day always goes better when I'm less worried about when lunch is coming. Plus you should always stay hydrated!

I wish I started using Onenote years ago.
I need to scribble down various things that may or may not be useful to know in the coming days/months/years. Before this, I used a weird mishmash of Excel docs and notepad files and just sprayed them all over my desktop. I still kindof do that but I'm also using Onenote a lot more now.

If you have drank coffee and are still tired drink more coffee.

As someone who works outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, we have significant swings in amounts of daylight between winter solstice and summer solstice, I've learned that it's very important to begin exposing your skin to the sun as early as possible in the year, to include the top of your head if you don't have much hair like me. The idea is that you're building up your tolerance to sunlight while the sunlight is still coming through the atmosphere at a significant angle. By the time it's summer, your skin can handle being outside without having to worry about sunburns. While it may seem simplistic and intuitive, it's surprising how many people whom spend significant times outdoors fail to build tolerance throughout the year. As for those whom are redheads, I wish I could say this would work for you, but the cases I've seen of people trying, it always ends badly. SPF50 is a redhead's friend.
