1. Try to balance your basic needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness, security, and self-esteem.
2. Choose a goal that is in line with these needs, as well as your deepest self and talents, and that helps the larger community or world.
3. Learn self-regulatory strategies and cultivate your character strengths to make efficient progress toward your goals.
4. Constantly listen to your organismic valuing process, and modify your goals and personality as necessary.

1) After waking up, count from 5 to 1 and get off the bed at 1 (do not check smartphone).
2) Make your bed
3) Stretch it out (ie take Dante for a walk)
4) Other essentials
Drink and think (think about your day etc and visualize)
Breakfast
“Me Time” - time you give yourself to do nothing

Rule your mornings in order to rule your day.

Waking up early
We each have a chronotype…

Times of the day I find insufferable and cannot think clearly
(2pm-4pm)

Most productive times:
Early morning around 5 am
Late evening around 9 am

1) Discipline - Early risers are significantly better at making and maintaining schedules because they have conditioned themselves to work harder and smarter. You are honing a disciplined and organized mind. Get up early by choice.

2) Proactivity - Anticipating problems and realizing the amount of risk involved. They are more proactive in almost any situation and they report feeling more control over their personal and professional lives.

3) Stress reduction - more time for a morning routine

4) Inspiration - something that gets you motivated and excited to achieve.
(Something that directly relates to your goals and challenges your thinking. ie watching documentaries, informational podcasts…)

(LOT 2046)
Code of Practice:

Wear the uniform
Think long term (like 30 years from now)
Build stories and languages, not things
Create your own universe (or join ours)
Collect samples
Be a sample for somebody else
Look for loyalty, not for a skill set
Do not build utilitarian products. However, use them as a medium to express yourself
Do not exploit introverts — doesn't work long term. Learn to be an introvert yourself
Travel more
Do not work for corporations. Old corporations were meaningful when their founders were alive, but now, they have outlived their relevancy. They exist only to keep their numbers growing
New corporations are no better. They have scaled up features, and today’s founders want hyper-growth for growth’s sake (it seems like every line of code, every feature deserves its own corporation — it sure doesn't)
So, fuck the corporations
Tell the truth (bullshit never works long term)
Study and research fashion
Your phone is a temporary feature — don’t spend your life on it (like you wouldn’t spend it on a fax machine)
Fuck likes, followers, fake lives, fake friends
Remake your environment. Build it for yourself, and people will come
Only trust those who make things you love
Move to LA
Don’t buy property
Don’t go to Mars (just yet)
Use only one font, just a few colors, and just a few shapes
Use spreadsheets, but only to map out the next 30 years — one cell for each year
The next three are the most important
The past doesn’t exist — don’t get stuck in it
Don’t go to Silicon Valley (it’s not for you if you’re still reading this)
Remind yourself daily: you and everyone you know will die
We must build the most beautiful things
We are 2046 kids

A reasonable routine for most days starts the night before

1. Plan and prepare something delightful for your morning.
2. Screens are 'not to do' after 9:30
3. Tea is nice at 9:30
4. Crawl into bed around 9:50
5. Leave the bed around 6:17
6. Enjoy the delight of whatever you've chosen to do
7. Have a smoothie
8. Pack simple, affordable foods for lunch
9. Arrive to work by 10
10. The rest will take care itself.

Try to turn this routine into a ritual
