Go running 2-3x a week

This is not working. I currently do not have enough time between meditating -> shower/food -> go to work -> come back between 6-7pm -> eat dinner (this is what kills it) -> do stuff that actually interests me/take care of other career options. I thought about trying to wake up even earlier. Went down from 7am to 6:30, is that an advisable thing to do?

Meditate at least 5 days a week for 10-15 mins

Okay, this one is going pretty good and I feel different. After the introductory 30 days using Headspace, I subscribed for a year and now I am doing the 30 days Focus pack with 20min per session. Absolutely wonderful!

Set up knowledge base about MDMA, LSD, Psilocybin and Cannabis

Didn't start directly, but some related things happened. Met a psychology student in her masters in a forum. She works with psychedelics in austria. Now we are planning to do weekly Journal Clubs with a psychedelics related publication. She is very enthusiastic, absolutely infectious motivation. Learned alot about the use of Ibogaine in addition therapy.

Read Marx - Das Kapital

This will fly off my list and be replaced with probably the most important goal. Find a PhD position that suits me/Leave current job

I guess the only way to tell if waking up earlier is advisable is just to try it for a bit. You sound like you've got a substantial amount of stuff on already, so you've got keep the balance. I'm glad you're enjoying the meditation and that you're knowledge base stuff is starting to gain some momentum too.
