If you want to be at the top of your game, you need a rested mind.
Lets make it easy for you...
@risescience app to figure out your optimal sleep schedule.
Step 2: Get the recommended amount of sleep for the next 7 days (no cheating).
Step 3: Every day at 11am, score your energy/productivity on a scale of 1-10.
Numbers won’t lie.
Clarity of mind & sustained energy are superpowers for entrepreneurs, right?
Well, the food we eat directly impacts those variables.
Yet we still consistently make bad decisions around our meals.
Not any more...
What do the next 3 hrs look like?
If it's a bunch of menial tasks, go ahead and eat the chips.
Otherwise, ask yourself:
"Do I really want to feel sluggish and foggy while I'm trying to write this proposal?"
Want to do great things?
Stop giving away your time.
You may not have an assistant to protect your schedule but you can still get comfortable setting boundaries.
Conserve your resources for the stuff that counts.
When we exercise, we release endorphins.
Endorphins make us feel good.
And when we feel good, we're more productive and it's easier to stay focused.
You don't have to deadlift 500 lbs and gulp down protein shakes to get the benefits.
A light jog or even a long walk will do the trick.
We spend 6 hrs straight staring at a computer...
Come 5pm and we wonder why we can't form a sentence.
Our brains can only operate at a peak level for a short period of time.
If we push it too far without a break, it'll crash.
Work work work — Rest
Work work work — Rest
Take a few minutes every hour or so to step away and relax.
Breath, stretch, Wordle — whatever.
We're all tired of hearing about meditation by now.
But here's the deal...
It's been shown to:
- Improve focus
- Increase creativity
- Decrease stress levels
It costs nothing and takes 10 minutes per day.
Ya got nothing to lose.
People love @headspace but I've found the @wakingup app to be a game-changer.
If money is an issue, click the link here to request a scholarship and they'll give you a year sub for free.
No questions asked.
No excuses.

Your brain is like a freshman in high school —highly susceptible to outside influence.
Stop trying to work in a chaotic environment.
Commit to a tidy workspace and your clarity of thought will improve.
When you cram your days to the brim, you’re saying:
"Hey brain, we know you have a lot of great ideas but we don't have time for that today —so zip your lid."
Focus on 1-2 big things per day and bake in downtime for great ideas to grow.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
