- You cannot always be preparing for life, it’s a life to live, not an exam to prepare for.
- Instead of dwelling on possibilities, just take action.
- Whenever you feel clueless about your life, or you feel like you are just living day-to-day, ask yourself these 4 questions
- What things would you do if you were fearless and could not fail ?
- What are the things that you will be most proud of a year from now if you completed them ?
- What are the 3 things that you need to stop doing ?
- What advice would you give someone else in your exact situation ?
- Obsess over things, obsession can make things happen that padestrian(normal) work cannot.
- Be Bored, sometimes all you need for inovation to strike, is to be bored
- Best way to learn something is to test yourself on that thing as much as you can

- 25-5 Rule - do deep work for 25 mins then for 5 mins do something other than work but make sure it is not something distracting or too rewarding to your attention.
- If you can’t do something, try it over and over again until you can

- When doing something, keep your whole focus on that thing, don’t let your mind or yourself switch from that task untill you have completed it.
- Set a goal for every day, which if you complete, would make that day a
win for you.
- Write all the things that a perfect day, according to you, would include. Try to do those things everyday and at the end of the day, write down the things that you didn’t do that day and try to prioritize those things the next day.
- If you can keep your priorities straight and prove it to your brain, your brain will make them your instintive priorities, and you will automatically prioritise them.
- Idle Method - Sit idle for atleast 15 mins withh a pen and paper between your tasks or whenever you feel lost in something bad

less fun - like make your phone black and white

- Break your everyday goals into smaller task and prioritize them according to their importance - more important tasks get more of your time
- Spend the last 30 mins of yours day with a book instead of a phone
- Make it hard to anything but work, so that all you can do is work
