1. I aim for long, uninterrupted work periods. If I have meetings, I schedule them early and aim for an open-ended work day.

2. I clean my workspace and do other minor chores the day before, so that I can get right to work. A messy kitchen means you need to wash dishes before you start cooking.

3. I remove friction for getting started. My art stuff is always out. I just have to sit and start.

4. I aggressively reduce information being pushed to me unless it’s critical. When in focus mode, my devices are totally silent. Nothing should take me out of my task unless it cannot wait.

5. A strong coffee after a long night’s sleep, paired with a good breakfast.
