- Do the worst things first. Sometimes they’re the most important, and then you won’t dread them all day.
- Find your “power hours” and focus on getting more of them in your day (see Deep Work).
- Create a shutdown routine for the end of your day to help yourself unwind and get out of the work mindset.

- When you do anything repeatedly, create a checklist for it to quickly move through it in the future (or to give to someone else).
