I use my phone for saving ideas wherever I go. I create a new text message and save it as a draft.

Does your phone really not have a notepad or whatever app? D:

Anyway, good list. Kind of need this right now, especially the reminder to clean the workspace haha.

nice allocation of platitudes.

Sometimes taking like a week or two break from production can help.

Yo, bro... Don't steal my thread

GREAT LIST!!

How do you guys feel about the coffee tip? Anybody think caffeine is bad for producing?

Caffeine is fine for me as long as I don't overdo it and get jittery.

- don't use a phone for listing, use paper. good notebook, and very good pencil.
- make drafts. finished volume = 1 to 10% of draft volume
- listen to stuffs. many times.
- aim high , don't be better than this shit, be better than your favorite stuff.
- Don't make >10 items list
- be careful, proud, attentive, critical. Find flaws everywhere you can.

cheers mate
