Confidence is not a belief in success. It's a comfort with failure.

Never hesitate to ask when you want something from someone. The worst thing that can happen is rejection. You’ll get over it.

@JamesClear 1) Start day with small video game session. It helps me to shift my mindset from yet another "problem solving" to "untangling knots of an interesting quests"
2) We play kicker or pétanque with colleagues. It boosts energy and mood

To feel like play - play

@aaditsh I go for a walk in the park every day after lunch for 5 months.

It always seems unnecessary, because those 30 minutes can be spent on work.

But always on a walk I gain energy to face an endless stream of tasks.
I have time to see that it is not endless.

@justinkan Metric: Reduce lying time after awakening

10 min -> 5 min -> 1 min -> 30 sec -> 5 sec

The longer I lie, the worse I feel during the day

Ideal:
Awake (without smartphone)
Get out of bed immediately (5 sec)
Drink a glass of water
Go for a walk OR workout

[Justin Kan @justinkan]

Invest in waking up better. The return on your morning routine is 100x.
