What’s the first thing you do? Check your email? See who needs you? Whose problems need solving? Maybe you “warm your brain up” by checking news, or gossip, or sports, or playing a game. (hint: you’re really warming your brain up for future procrastination)
Like throwing rocks into virgin snow, you’ve wasted your best opportunity to carve out a fresh trail. To start something new.
Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, and more have made their fortunes by being the first thing people do when they start their day. There’s good reason for this: how you start your day dictates how you spend your day. Get you at the beginning, and its easier to suck people back countless more times throughout the day.
If you want to create something, start fresh. Don’t read about what someone else did yesterday, or someone else response. Don’t wait for everyone else to carve up the trails. Go ski powder.
