If you're ever wondering why your relationship with your partner isn't where it should be: remember that when people feel good about themselves, they'll likely reciprocate it. Don't run to the gym and get in shape (okay . . . do that, but don't do just that). Don't buy flowers. Make your partner feel beautiful, valuable, virile, strong, sexy, attractive, wanted, important, intelligent, etc. (actions always speak louder than words) Make that person feel like they did when you first fell in love.
The strongest way to endear yourself to someone is to express a need for their help and to make them feel needed. The greatest way to build a friendship is to accept what a person can give and demand that they give it (within reason). This is complicated because this little bit of heuristics seems like it should be well known and well understood. But we get it wrong so often.

What are some mental, physical, and social secrets from people that seem to have limitless energy each day and seem to do so much?
Physically:
Eat well (actual food your grandmother would recognize, mostly vegetables and nuts)
Sleep well (enough)
Drink tons of water
Exercise. Walk a little further, bike if you can, enjoy your surroundings
Mentally:
Understand exactly how what you are doing at every moment in time is getting you closer towards your ultimate goals in life that really mean something. It helps a lot if this cause is greater than yourself.
Be willing to put yourself in uncomfortable situations with some degree of regularity. It will build confidence and adaptability when faced with adverse situations.
Logistically:
Schedule ahead of time with google calendar, set up text reminders.
'if you don't decide beforehand what it is that you're going to be doing each day, chances are someone else will'.
Use a song that you know lasts for a specific amount of time to help you through regular habits you want to keep.
Socially:
Share everything you know (or think you know.) You may be surprised at how much you may learn, as well as how the social human animal produces more meaning when synergizing with others. The most damaging thing you can do to your greatest ideas is to keep them to yourself.
Take initiative. If you don't do it, someone else will. Your influence grows only weaker for every moment spent idle. Be ready to reach out to others and don't be afraid of asking for or expressing what you want.

Also on the mental level, be positive! Positive people tend to have a lot more energy. Make a list of five things you're grateful for every day. Tell your friends and colleagues what you like about them. Tell yourself too. Laugh it off when bad things happen, and double-down to fix them.
Wherever possible, do things that you really love. Don't just collapse at the end of the day. Instead, fix yourself a tasty and healthy meal and spend time with loved ones or working on something you love. This is even better if you can actually do something you love and are passionate about for your career.
Clean and de-clutter your house...you'll be surprised how much the mess was affecting your energy levels.

More Good Stuff for personal development
Pick up an athletic hobby that you can do through the years, or your sedentary academic lifestyle will do horrible things to your posture, back, and gut.
Always have a private place where you can talk out loud to God every day. Even if you're not religious or don't believe in God. Talk out loud to the universe. Sort out your thoughts, verbalize them, and then write down what comes to mind. Something wiser than you is listening and responding, even if it's just another side of you.
Find music that inspires you and makes you feel alive.Listen to it every morning and if it's something embarrassing just don't tell your friends about it.
