Encouragements
Notes that one way or another, encourage me to be better, to sit down for less time, to be more active, etc.
Procrastination
- Shower in the morning.
- Do not multitask—our brain is single-threaded.
- Turn your daily habits into a game.
- Get some movement in before starting work. Go for a walk, a short bike ride, something outside.
- Tiny habits deliver big results in a year.
- If you want to change, start with the type of content you consume.
- Stop obsessing over productivity hacks and actually start working on your backlog.
- Have no “Zero-Days.” Get something, anything at all done everyday. No matter how small.
- Don’t oversleep, wake up at a standard time each workday, and start work at a standard time each day.
- Stop watchin the news.
- Eat the Frog. Identify one challenging task (the frong), and complete it first thing in the morning (thus eating it).
- Fix and maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
- It doesn’t need to be perfect, it does need to be started.
- Consistency is more important than intensity.
