In a world full of distractions I like to wake up and get to moving and doing right away. Basically just treat yourself like you’re some sort of artist, super soldier warrior, Spartan, in training perpetually every single day.
Why?
Self mastery, training, progress, and movement is fun. A life full of vitality is the only life worth living
- Drink espresso as soon as you wake up
- Disable all notifications (don’t consume any media during the day- I find that media consumption is only good in the early morning for research) ex: hope.com and Michael.com
- Grab an iPad and open ChatGPT
- Look at photo books for inspiration
- Walk around your room, stretch, and write thoughts down
- Hot bath, cold shower
- Go for walk and create upon your morning thoughts (essay, video, or audio)
- Always carry a GoPro and photo camera (GoPro is the new ultimate creative multimedia tool)
- Never sit during the day. Always walk and just go for 30k steps daily. For instance, when I’m on break at work, I constantly go for walks around the trails in the park, or just pace around inside, while I’m reading. (Also reading out loud is pretty fun if the story is a narrative)
- Read a book and do some yoga
- Create more notes on phone or iPad and reflect on them before sleep
- Strive to make 1000 photos per day
- Lift weights and cull the photos
- Stay fasted during the day and eat one massive feast at sundown (only when you finish publishing the pictures to your website)
- Go to bed before 9PM and get 8 hours of sleep
- Wake up, repeat, and look through your notes from earlier in the day
