Lists. Lists lists lists. I've got my Hubski list and my personal list and my every day lists and my work lists and my homework list my freelance lists. Then I have my goals. Those are at the top of my daily lists and my work list so that I don't forget to see the bigger picture in the whole mess. This allows me to stop thinking about what I need to do and just do it. Switching gears from one project to the next is easy and seamless. Not having your tasks organized is the single biggest waste of time.

Things that happen at a certain time get thrown into my calendar with an alarm. That alarm happens 5 minutes before the event, not on the event, not 30 minutes for the event. If I can't prep for a call or meeting in 5 minutes then fuck it. If you set it to 30 minutes before, you essentially lose 30 minutes of your life waiting for the event rather than working on something else.

And caffeine. I went off caffeine for a few months. That was great. Now I don't need to start my day with a coffee and only drink an energy drink or coffee after I get off work so that I can begin doing my other stuff. Also, fuck sleep. Fuck doing my hair. Fuck doing my makeup. Waste of time. Went to the hairdresser and said "cut it so that when I don't blowdry or straighten it, it still looks fine." Guess what. It looks fine.

I now sleep 1am-7:48am. Leave house at 8:25am. Work at 9am. Off work by 7pm and to the gym on Wed / Fri. I have class from 5:30-8:30pm Tues / Thurs . Home at 9pm. Freelance/personal/homework. Hubski. Maybe a half-hour of TV. Phone off, alarm clock on, lights off by 1am. And repeat.
