I thought this was quite insightful:
"I had another habit I wanted to break – checking my phone for texts, emails, Facebook, Twitter, and news as soon as I woke up. I wanted to stop doing this because it pulled me into the reactive world of other people’s needs, focuses, and demands on my sacred morning hours."
I have to keep battling to avoid falling into the consumer mindset. As soon as I start reading Facebook, Twitter, Hacker News etc, I can almost feel switching out of creator mode and into a consumer.
There's so much interesting accessible content out there nowadays, and it's all optimised to hold your interest. Usually, reading this will be more immediately gratifying than the work that goes into actually building something.
I definitely think there would be a productivity boost to saving all of that consumption till the end of the day.
