2. Reduce screentime
In the social media era where people are spending 4 hours/day on platforms,
All the high achievers on the internet are minimally using it.

3. Prepare yourself the night before.
You can’t give high voltage shock to your mind every day to come up with the most important task of the day.
On any given day you’ve limited willpower to spend.

4. Get bored often
Your mind is a great worrier.
It constantly reminds you of the danger that is coming your way.
This doesn’t happen when you’ve buried yourself in Netflix & Instagram.
Once you have some urgent problems in your head, write them down and find solutions.
