Q: I'm having trouble following routines. Can you tell me without entering in too much detail what's yours? I'm intrigued because of your amazing speed at song writing/production.
A: the 2 most important things i've discovered recently is to get a small amount of physical exercise first when you wake up, then get to work. also day evaluations at end of day, and day plans at the beginning of the day. not insane amounts of detail in them. also, absolutely no checking email when you wake up. many people have a no phone in bed rule, i don't follow that because i need the notes app to do the end of day ev, and sometimes the day plan. but i absolutely have a no apps besides the notes app rule in bed. the general idea is that if you start the day with no distractions, that is the secret to acing the day. if you have distractions in the morning, the whole thing falls apart. that's just something i've learned. but everyone is different and maybe i didn't even used to be this way
