He launched his own tech business and recommends all potential founders learn about sales. I was more comfortable failing at that point in my life than working a job that I thought wasn't realizing my potential. What worked for me was making a list of other people who've been really successful networkers after first studying them by reading articles or listening to podcasts. Back when I was in college, I wish I knew that college is more about networking than learning. With this strategy in mind, if you think you're going to start a business, then college isn't needed, in my opinion.

She tried to motivate herself but found that waking up early led to fatigue and procrastination. She says that waking up a few hours later sets her up for a more productive day. While I utilize several productivity tools I love, the one I've tried that was the most epic fail was to be a morning person. Knowing this would sabotage my morning, I'd fight the wave of energetic flow to try to get to bed early to start the cycle again. Lately I've noticed I've been waking up even earlier than 7 a.m. here and there.

Now he typically wakes up around 3:45 a.m. well rested and without an alarm clock, he said. Ice baths help lower my core body temperature and also urge the release of melatonin, which is a hormone that helps us fall asleep quickly and remain asleep until we've completed all sleeping cycles. If I'm in a hotel, I'll unplug the coffee maker, TV, and the clock to create that dark environment. I solely focus on the optimization of sleep, not the lengthThe perfect night of sleep is two hours of REM and two hours of deep sleep. I can wear it on my finger, and it shows me the exact data I need to know about my REM, my deep sleep, my light sleep, and also my heart rate,.

Arvind Murthy and his wife moved from Irvine, California to Zionsville, Indiana in 2022. When they moved to Indiana, they were afraid there wouldn't be a lot to do, he said. They discovered charming food and culture, and a burgeoning Hard Tech scene.

Andrea Mac is a growth strategist at Prequal and the sole earner for her family of six in Illinois. When I shifted from being our family's primary financial earner to the family's sole earner, I struggled to find resources and guidance to navigate this new terrain. It becomes a never-ending loop of work, family demands, and stress. My role as a provider is minimized in those scenarios, so I'm famous for saying, "If I don't work, we don't get paid." She simply couldn't conceive that I was the sole earner for the family and assumed we had missed this step.

Samson Baxter, a web developer, tried 'monk mode' to get more done at work. At first he hated it, especially staying off social media, but then his productivity shot up.

After five weeks of monk mode, Samson Baxter felt burned out again — this time for a different reason. Something had to changeIn the end, I decided that while monk mode did ramp up my focus initially, the long-term effects weren't for me.

I also reserve mornings — the time when I'm most focused and creative — for tasks that require deep concentration and decision making. I implement two-way-door decision makingThis approach is a staple of how I think and approach decision making. It allows me and my team to move quickly throughout the day, maximizing high-velocity decision making. Here's how it works: I always assess whether a decision I'm making is irreversible — a "one-way door" decision that can't be walked back. Jeff Bezos used to say that around 90% of decisions we make are two-way door decisions, and that not treating two-way door decisions like one-way door decisions is the key to unlocking speed.

He says getting advertisements onto his site was simple, and now he gets payouts every month. That motivated me to add some new features and optimize the site for search engines. I couldn't find any good resources on the web or in the Google search results with the information I sought. This is where an ad network came in — using a network to sell ad space keeps the entire process passive. For a small web publishing business, monthly net profit can be as simple as ad revenue minus hosting costs.
