I have been trying to get my sleep schedule on shape. I take sleep seriously - 8 hours everyday. Without it, I'm unproductive the whole day. For me, it's not worth trading some sleep time for getting my work done. Because it takes more than triple the amount of time while working on low energy…
I was just reading Radhika's new post, "What do you deserve" and found this: Remember, set small goals everyday, and then build on the momentum of completion.

Which means, I didn't write, speak on camera, program, move projects forward, etc. I did nothing. I was solely focused on that course because…
Most of the time, I work just to get my work done. I measure time to complete the work and then track my time. It's always just to complete the work. I compete with myself to get my work done faster than before. It's always a chore for me. Wake up, do this, after you…
