Body
- Get up at 5 am.

- Drink a liter of water early every morning. We wake up dehydrated and energy-less.
Technology
- Don’t check your email first thing in the morning.
- Turn all your electronic notifications off.
- Don’t answer your phone every time it rings.
- Turn off all technology for 60 minutes a day and focus on doing your most important work.
Time Management
- Take one day a week as a complete recovery day, (that means no email, no phone calls and zero work).
- Workers are interrupted every 11 minutes. Say no to interruptions.
- Schedule every day of your week every Sunday morning. A plan relieves you of the torment of choice.

- Work in 90 minute cycles (tons of science is now confirming that this is the optimal work to rest ratio).
Other
