*"Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going." - Sam Levenson*

1. Plan your mornings to the minute so that an effective morning builds the momentum for the rest of the day. Take care of the most important and urgent tasks first 2. Cut all external distractions when you're working/studying 3. Control your caffeine intake. One way to do this is to have a healthy, fixed sleep schedule 4. Track your productivity curve (time of day when it's easiest to study/work effectively) 5. When you have most energy, do the more involving tasks 6. Stop consuming stuff that make you feel drained

*"Everything in life is easier when you don't concern yourself with what other people are doing."* The chances of you seeing this comment is pretty low, but if you did, *I hope you have an amazing day.* 🖤

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” -Michael Jordan

In addition to this, I have a suggestion for those who follow routines that 1) Don’t be over-ambitious. Don’t give yourself impossible periods of time to do a task which is a very common mistake I did. Begin by providing yourself double the time you think you’ll take for a task so you can at least follow the routine first and make it a habit. 2) Know why you’re doing something. If you meditate or exercise, read articles that make you feel like doing them. Just don't do them blindly. Enjoy everything you’re doing

*You can't always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes you have to dare to do it because life is too short to wonder what could have been...*

These are great pieces of advice! The urgency / importance matrix (the Eisenhower matrix) is really powerful and makes it really easy to determine what you need to do

Journalling is the best thing one can do for self. Best form of mental exercise, allows to reflect, analyse and learn, it makes me feel so powerful and in control and self awareness increases to another level. Someone rightly said you can't change what you can't measure and it's 💯 true! Whenever I need to correct or focus on anything, I'll just do more of journalling and reflection and get the clarity always.

I´m obsessed with your videos, I really identify with your mindset, thank you :)
