Any links you paste into the composer will be automatically shortened, using the buff.ly link shortener by default. In some cases, you may prefer to use the full link instead, for example, if you wanted to display your website URL. To do this, hover over the link in the Composer and click Unshorten.

1. Try sleeping at the same time every night This habit enable you to fall asleep faster and wake up at the same time like clockwork, all subconsciously. Back when I had a daily schedule, I didn’t need to set an alarm anymore.
2. Do the most difficult thing firstThis could be at the start of your day, the beginning of a project, or first hour of your study session. After completing this task, you’ll have not only done something meaningful with your day but you’ll feel the momentum carry through to other tasks.
3. Replace common and recurring decisions with routinesYou really don’t need to expend mental energy picking an outfit, deciding on breakfast, thinking about when you should go to the gym. All of this keeps happening and the faster you commit to pre-selecting a single/few time slots or options, and sticking to them, the more mentally clear and swift you’ll become with making decisions.
4. Keep airplane mode turned on for the first couple hours in the morningMake this your time, get acquainted with how you are feeling, and take control of your time before others try to compete for it.
5. Avoid starting and stopping to eliminate your administrative overheadWhen you stop a task to answer an email, help someone with something, or check notifications, you disrupt or completely avoid getting into deep work. Instead, designated a time to deal with all the ‘admin’ stuff on your time, not someone else’s.
6. Check external solutions to your problem before inventing a new oneThere’s a high chance that the problem you have in your work, code, studies, gym routine etc. have been had and dealt with time and time again. If you’re messing up an exercise ask staff or check out a tutorial. Before doing some crazy code gymnastics, check out some forums. Before drafting a reporting template, see if the company already has a standard.
7. Ask. Ask to create your own options, to uncover solutions, and to learnAn extension of the last point but a whole point on its own. Just ask. Ask for a little extra, ask for an alternative, ask for an exception, ask the dumb question. If you don’t ask, you won’t know and won’t receive. A lot of the time, asking has massive upside with almost no downside.
8. Write down mistakes and lessons learnedWe almost always repeat our mistakes, it’s too hard to remember the lessons we thought we learned. Writing them down and revisiting them helps us etch them into our memory.
