A solid routine fosters a well-worn groove for one’s mental energies and helps stave off the tyranny of moods.
Mason Currey
What separates the ordinary from Genius?
A workspace with minimal distractions.
A daily walk.
Accountability metrics.
A clear dividing line between important work and busywork.
A habit of stopping when they’re on a roll, not when they’re stuck.
A supportive partner.
Limited social lives.
From Harvard Business Review: The daily routines of geniuses
I’ve realized that somebody who’s tired and needs a rest, and goes on working all the same is a fool,
Carl Jung
