    Blinkist! Still half-asleep, not everything memorized but definitely energized :)

    @andrzej_pacholik I forgot about that app. Has it changed much from its early days?

    @ty_robb Not sure, have been using it for >1 year now.

    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.

    Clipral... Only kidding, I'm ashamed to say it's normally teams to do a calendar check! I'm that disorganised!

    @ty_robb my alarm is typically automatically set so I have to remember to turn it off.
    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.

    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

    @oxana_ivanova I like the flexible approach.

    I usually do a daily weigh in and log it in the *excellent* Happy Scale app (for iOS). This app does so many things right and I've been using it for years. If you want to track/manage your weight I highly recommend it. And to be clear: I have no association with the developer, just a very happy customer of the product.

    @kr1shnak it sounds interesting and I suppose it helps avoid those expletives when you have an unexpected loss or gain. I went on the scales recently and I was sure they were broken (well thats my excuse).

    Google Calendar. I like to see what my plans are for the day before I ultimately change them

    @ryan_kara is that not always the way? Better than letting it change you.

    @kevin_brendel must be a nice feeling, well unless you expected 100 and had 1. Good luck with your upcoming PH launch.
