I’m trying to understand myself and how I can be better disciplined/motivated. The question I’m trying to answer is this:

How come I can wake up one day, get straight out of bed, get ready, set myself tasks for the day, stay focused and achieve a lot, then on the very next day sleep in, get distracted constantly, feel unfocused and get very little accomplished? What is the deciding factor that determines how my day will go?

I’ve managed to isolate a few factors which I’ve observed:

- Hydration, whenever I think of the days I’ve been in the best mood and achieved a lot, I’ve also had to use the bathroom a lot
- Sunlight, I tend to be more productive the sunnier the weather, though not always
- Sleep, if I get five hours I am generally really productive but crash hard later in the day, 7-8 is optimal, 9+ and the day is a write off

Can anyone recommend any books or other resources that could better help me understand myself and my motivation? If I can figure out what this “switch” is I could get so much more achieved!
