I've snoozed Slack and blocked calendar for mornings. Some unavoidable meetings but this has helped.

Second is I remind myself of how much more joy reading books brings.

Third, giving my mind time to wander. Helped the most.

This resonates a lot with me, Kartik.

I basically blocked all of my calendar and don't check emails at work.

I have read 4 books in the past 4 months (a 1000% increase compared to last 10 years)

I purposely give myself time to do nothing (I realize this is a luxury some people might not have but others can do it a don't do it still)

Cheers!

This is so well done, Alberto! It’s a great reminder for me to bring more structure into my time. Right now, I tend to fully immerse myself in building AI products and writing about the process whenever I find a spare moment.

I should take a step back and dedicate more time to family and exercise as well. Thanks for the inspiration!

Curious what's your goal/ideal life, Alberto?

For now, every week needs to have these non-negotiables:

- Work that I'm proud of.

- Workouts that make me stronger and healthier.

- Relationships that make me be 100% present.
