Make your bed after getting up

Work

Evening
Go to bed early — the late hours of the day are almost never spent productively
Turn off electronics, at least 1 hour before bed
Pre-bedtime routine: organize your equipment — clothes, bag, take a shower
Set goals for the next day
Time Management
The two most valuable assets are time and health, do not waste them
Disable all app notifications on your phone — use a basic Nokia mobile phone
Schedule meeting in the afternoon
Schedule your email and Facebook — pick two or three times during the day
Use internet at set points in the day — set disconnection times
Do not chat online — pick up the phone instead
Do not watch the news — nothing important happens, most of the time
Health
Do sport — walk 1 hour or do 100 push-ups/squats a day
Use a standing desk to work
Eat healthy — eat salad rather than sandwich
Don’t drink sodas — drink water
Do not drink alcohol
Do not eat 1 day a week
Personal Growth
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do
Keep in touch with friends that you like
Read 1 hour a day at least — read also in a foreign language
If you feel stuck, contribute to somebody else. By removing the focus on yourself and helping somebody else, you will begin to think creatively again and find solution to problems
Write regularly
Learn a foreign language — this will require ~1,000 hours
