My hack against morning Procrastination
I used to start my mornings like a checklist robot. Wake up. Coffee. Sit down. Open laptop. Attack the hardest task first. Everyone says, "Eat the frog." But for me, it felt more like eating concrete. My brain resisted. My energy dipped. And worst of all, I started resenting mornings. One day, I changed it. Instead of diving into emails or technical documentation, I started the day different. No pressure. Just play. That morning, I designed a concept car based on a bird’s silhouette—totally impractical, but deeply fun. I noticed something: After 15 minutes of "fun work," I was focused. Energized. I tackled the tough tasks without dread. Now, it’s a ritual. Fun is my ignition switch. Creativity gets the engine running. What about you?

@Anne-Laure Sw @Kane Hatchard I'm interested in your comments on early wins. This was my attitude to "work" items I think. I'm a lot more slow **before** I hit that stage. On a good day, no phone until some quiet and Journaling. On a really good day I am ready from the night before. A few options in a plan. Relax. Meditate. Coffee knowing **when I want** to I csn open my planner and into it. Email later. This is not how my bad days go!!

My name is Derek. I'm away from home at the moment. A lot of the time, my workplace is a CafĂŠ. This is my bag, my mobile office, the smallest that will fit my iPad. But I am mainly analoge, pens, notebooks and a date stamp. CafĂŠs help me with focus, a form of body doubling and help me reset + chunk my work. At present I am going through a recalibration. Who am I? [Really] + what can I do? In a former life I taught people how to teach. I may do this again. I run couses on how to study.
