2. Days was fill up. Only plan for 4-5 hours of real work per day.
3. Work more when you're in the zone. Relax when you're not. It's normal to have days where you just can't work and days where you'll work 12 hours straight.
4. Respect your time and make it respected. You time is $1000/hour, and you need to act accordingly.
5. Stop multi-tasking. It merely kills your focus.
6. Set up a work routine and stick to it. Your body will adapt.
7. We're always more focused and productive with limited time.
8. Work is the best way to get working. Start with short tasks to get the ball rolling.
9. Doing is better than perfect. Work iteratively. Expectations to do things perfectly are stifling.
10. More work hours doesn't mean more productivity. Use constraints as opportunities.
11. Separate brainless and strategic tasks to become more productive. Separate thinking and execution to execute faster and think better.
12. Organize meetings early during the day. Time leading up to an event is often wasted.
13. Group meetings and communication(email or phone) to create blocks of uninterrupted work. A single meeting can blow a whole afternoon, by breaking it into two pieces each too small to do anything hard in.
14. Keep the same context throughout the day. Switching between projects/clients is unproductive.
15. Work around procrastination. Procrastinate between intense sprints of work.
16. Break the unreasonable down into little reasonable chunks. A big goal is only achieved when every little thing that you do everyday. Gets you closer to that goal.
17. No 2 tasks ever hold the same importance. always prioritize. Be really careful with to-do lists.
18. Always know the one thing you really need to get done during the day. Only ever work o the thing that will have the biggest impact.
19.
20.
21. Turn the page on yesterday. Only ever think about today and tomorrow. Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
22. Set deadlines for everything. Don't let tasks go on indefinitely.
23. Set end dates for intense or stressful activities. Everything ends at some points.
24. Always take notes. Get a reminder app for everything. Don not trust your own brain for your memory.
25. Write down anything that distracts you - google searches, random thoughts, new ideas, whatever. The point is, if you write them down, they 'll step bubbling up when you're int he zone.

You can never figure out life. What you thought you own, is actually leaving; What you thought you have lost, is actually on its way to you.

Don’t fix something not broken.
Gain trusts before change.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
Do what you believe is right.
Great minds think alike.
It's our choices, Harry, that shows what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
