Thread! Productivity tricks that work for me... I like @sama's approach to prioritization: 1. Make sure to get the important stuff done 2. Don’t waste time on stupid things 3. Make a lot of lists Make lists of what you want to achieve each year, each month, and each day.

I optimize my day around energy. Early Morning: Finish the most important thing Late Morning: Creative work Early afternoon: Chores, email and phone calls Late afternoon: Nap and workout Evening: Learning and reading Prioritize in a way that generates momentum.

What I've learned from @tylercowen: 1. Do the most important things first in the day. 2. Estimate “most important” using a zero discount rate. 3. In the morning, focus on long term goals and don’t make exceptions. "The hours from 7 to 12 are your time to build for the future."

Here’s a brilliant insight from @nateliason: Procrastination is fine, you just want to keep it small and quick. Procrastination is a simple, easily understood process. It’s what you do when you’re not sure what to do next. Races are run in the turns, not on the straightaways.
