  1. Wake up at the same time — Weekends, Holidays, Birthdays included. Regardless of when you went to bed. Your body will eventually let you know if you get too little sleep.
  2. Start Strong — The first 2 hours of your day set a tone for the rest of it. Get something big done right away and you will set an amazing one.
  3. Listen to an Audiobook/Read a Book on your commute — Make the most out of the boring time and learn something.
  4. Write down your Goals before you go to bed and after you wake up — Think about your dreams and goals all day and night by priming yourself right.
  5. Take Great Breaks — Do not leave your breaks to chance. Plan what you want to do and fully commit yourself to that break. Shut down completely. Recharge. Refresh. Restart.
  6. Journal Once A Day — Take some time to reflect, to reconsider your day and to put awareness on what you can do the next day.
  7. Decisive answers — Either it’s a “Hell yes” or a “No”. Everything that is not a clear yes defaults to a No.
  8. Keep a To-Do List with you — Whenever something bothers you in your head, write it on that list. Set a specific time and date for when you will accomplish it so that you don’t keep thinking about it.
  9. Remove Useless Apps, Tabs and Clothes
