For me the best way to get stuff done is to get up early, and to get up early I go to bed when tired, and try to get up at roughly the same time every day without an alarm clock. The "brightest slice" of my day is my most creative and most productive. I use downtime or slow-brain time to design and draft, and I use late-night sessions to create todo lists for the morning attack. Procrastination is usually a result of insufficient preparation and non-ideal environment. First make the ideal environment, then get to work. I like the tip about meditation, that definitely helps a ton with clarity, emotional modulation, and your motivation can be more than just for yourself -- to help lots of people, everyone, through your labors.

Thanks for sharing jasunflower! I agree that some environment decisions, in particular in regards to sleep, are so important that one can even consider them "dependencies" for productive work.

This guide was initially meant to be referred to in those moments in which we are actively trying to get something done. I'll include soon a page about environment decisions -- let me know if you have any additional recommendations.

Righteous. Longevity over Output would be my contribution right now -- More valuable than pushing one release is the constancy of effort and playful persistence with what is being researched/pursued. Everything that caters to Longevity of Enthusiasm and general stamina is valuable, I would say please include that.
