Someone asked on Reddit: What trick or routine do you do to keep your mind right and stop worries and stress to wore you down?
The top answer:
Jump on a train for 4 hours and do 4 hours focused work, spend the night at a hotel, nice meal, go for a swim, good sleep and go for a shop. Then next day train back, 4 more hours work.
Aside from regular exercise, eating clean, and getting good sleep – all of which are fundamental – here are a few other responses that stood out to me…
My default answer to most things is ‘No, I’m busy’ – and I wait to see if they manage to pitch me out of that decision.
I don’t respond to emails quickly. A handful of prospective clients that don’t like that are automatically filtered before we even work together.
