#2> the producer of pretty much every contemporary pop singer you’ve heard of
While his portfolio is no doubt impressive (including names such as Taylor Swift, Lana del Rey and Lorde), this is still a bit too much hyperbole for my taste...
Re: Poisoning the Day
#3Fun take.
I suggest countering it with a concept of "day reusability". You know, just as with rockets...
Re: Poisoning the Day
#4Seems to be the exhaustion that happens when you’ve built up waste products that need to be cleared by sleep.
But has anyone found success re-establishing that fresh mind without sleeping?
Maybe meditation can help?

#5"Helpfully, this is one area of productivity where people with children are actually ahead of the curve.
Because kids are professional day poisoners."
When it's legal and otherwise sound I prefer to work and do business with parents for partly this reason. If they've managed to navigate the first few years of broken sleep and don't use work as escapism, then they're probably pretty hardy.

#6This feels like an incredibly elaborate way to say that he's a morning person. There's plenty of people for whom the entire thing works the exact opposite, and of course loads of people everywhere in between. I wouldn't really read deep into this, it's one of those takes that tries really hard to sound profound, but it really isn't.

Did you read the article?, is about doing the importnat stuff when no one is around to distract you.
>Not an early riser? No problem, just flip it.
Avoid the day. And when it’s done, that’s when your focussed work starts (my favourite adherent of this approach is Demis Hassabis: who works a “second day” from between 11pm and 4am).

#10Focusing on a small unit of work (e.g, a day), can make you lose sight of the bigger picture, like how you need a break, or what you’re working on isn’t motivating anymore, which is why I kind of dislike most productivity advice.
Too much focus on how to optimise your day, your schedule and not much emphasis on how to feel motivated about work you’re doing.
