No matter what you’re practicing, always finish strong
Align your peak energy periods with peak creativity work and actually schedule thinking time into your calendar
An exercise that’s helped Josh and many of his clients:
End your day thinking about an important question and then wake up the next morning (pre-input, before checking your phone or any news) and brainstorm on it (either on paper or in something like Evernote)
Practice the art of letting go and turning it on/off
“Most people in high-stress industries are always operating at this simmering 6, as opposed to the undulation between deep relaxation and being at a 10”
Cultivate empty space in your life to escape the noise and really focus on what matters most
“If you get away from a lot of the noise, it’s much easier to take that 30,000-foot view and see what really matters”
