Here is a short list of things I ask myself daily. I have found this immensely helpful, it helps me stay focused and on track. I keep the list in my wallet (in bold).
Today Did You …
- Sleep less than 8 hours
I’ve found oversleeping is one of the biggest killers of productivity
- Read 1 hour
I like to devote some time everyday to learning about stuff not directly related to work
- Learn of & from others
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him” I find that taking this perspective helps me not dismiss others opinions and helps me consider what they say in the context of which they are saying it, whether that be either their life/or immediate circumstance.
- Avoid hypocrisy
To be one in word and action, to not say or insinuate then not follow up. This reminds me that if I set goals I need to achieve them
- Practice audacity
To try to approach everything I do in a fearless, determined, bold way
What are the questions you ask yourself daily?
Did you do what *needed* to be done today?
As Evan Williams found in a recent poll, working on things that don’t matter is the biggest killer of productivity in startups (119/446 votes).
