Drink water. Want a coke? Drink water. Want food? Drink water. Want water? Drink water. The hardest part of this has been when I want coffee.
I don't see the point of this, why limit yourself like this?

There are degrees of suffering before you die and you can up the probability that you'll live healthier for longer with some decisions.
When going to bed immediately switching off lights and go to sleep. No more reading or watching. That has fixed my insomnia.
Drop acid
seriously?
Yes
Work as much as you need to live.
Walking to work.
Exercise and sleep better.
Could you be more specific about exercising?
What kind of program are you following?
Do something that makes you break a sweat for 15 minutes a day or 45 minutes twice a week
Be thankful for what you have.
Only working the time you're paid for. Not a moment longer.
How do you see that playing out for a salaried job? You are more often paid to "get it done" than reportable hours.
You leave for a better job if your job requires more than 40 hours a week from you and you’re salary (very easy in the current tight labor market).
Also, no on call work unless you’re paid additional comp to be on call and per incident.
I find it bizarre how long people will stay in roles where they’re consistently underpaid by working overtime week after week with no additional compensation, or working off hours for free. Short term? Totally understandable. You didn’t know how bad it was when you arrived in the role, or you’re in a financial bind and need to power through. But long term? No need to be a masochist.
