Manage Your Day to Day

Building a Routine

“What I do every day matters more than what I do once in a while.” Gretchen Rubin

• great work before everything else
• jump start your creativity
• feel the frequency
• pulse and pause
• get lonely
• don’t wait for moods

Book time when you are most productive. Do not book meetings during that time. People are used to the idea you already have a scheduled appointment.

book time for uninterrupted focus.

use pen/paper to avoid online distraction

Email is tempting because it has random reinforcement. Prioritize being present.

Create windows of non-stimulation in your day.

Stay open to the possibilities of serendipity.

Know your complex goals -> identify 2/3 every 4 months or so.

“The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say ‘no’ to almost everything.” Warren Buffett

• Taming your tools
• keep the long view in view
• be conscious of your bandwidth (let go of some stuff)
• check yourself or wreck yourself
• hit the reset button
• don’t hold your breath
• in imagination we trust
• try making something creative ‘just because’ or for yourself

“Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just show up and get to work.”
