I'm a notepad-first kind of gal. I used to check slack / email first but found that it makes me feel a bit anxious. I start working on things that are urgent and non-important. When I start working in my PJs it only goes down from there... Using a notepad first helps me have a more enjoyable, intentional, and productive day. I write down - If I do this *one thing* today then the day is a success. Then I can keep anchoring to that as I choose where to spend my time during the day. In addition to the *one thing* approach, I like to do brain-dumps of other todos and things I don't have clarity on. I do this with a "todo sometime" list (some of these I'll end up doing, some I'll never do) - but it lets me get it out of my head. And for brain-dumps on topics I'm worried or unclear about, writing free-form helps me arrive at clarity / calm. What do you write in your OneNote?

@stash_new that an interesting approach. I may try something similar, I would need to make things a little more granular to get it to work. I have been working on copywriting over the last few weeks (but it feels like a lifetime). I find I do a better job first thing in the morning.

Oh god.... this is embarrassing... Reddit....
Tyrone Robb
@atticusli don't worry we have all been there at one point. We tried paying for adverts on there last year to see if it was a platform to recommend to clients and it was a total flop. So I decided to get involved and figure out why we were so crap. 15k plus Karma later, I now know why our ads were hated, just because it was an ad. lol.

@atticusli haha guilty here, I really love to read random stories on reddit but my morning routine usually begins with checking my email to see if there are any urgent messages. After that, I dive into my task manager app to plan out my day.

@thestartupwhisperer sounds like a solid routine.
Kevin Brendel
Browser, to check how many people bought our app while I slept :D
Tyrone Robb
@kevin_brendel must be a nice feeling, well unless you expected 100 and had 1. Good luck with your upcoming PH launch.

My Calendar to see if I can sleep in :)
Tyrone Robb
@jake_strack is it a good feeling on the days you can? I would be annoyed with myself if I set an alarm on a day where I could sleep in.
Jake Strack | miingl
@ty_robb my alarm is typically automatically set so I have to remember to turn it off.
Andrzej Pacholik
Blinkist! Still half-asleep, not everything memorized but definitely energized :)
Tyrone Robb
@andrzej_pacholik I forgot about that app. Has it changed much from its early days?
Andrzej Pacholik
@ty_robb Not sure, have been using it for >1 year now.
Andrew Turner
I always kick off my day by checking my email first thing in the morning.
Martyn Sadler
Clipral... Only kidding, I'm ashamed to say it's normally teams to do a calendar check! I'm that disorganised!

Alarm 😁 to stop it and sleep more next 10 min Then check notifications in general, then it really depends on what I've seen in notifications
Tyrone Robb
@oxana_ivanova I like the flexible approach.
