In order to MAXIMIZE your productivity, you must SIMPLIFY your life to the maximum as well!

Get rid of energy leaks

You start the day with a limited amount of energy. Thus it seems the optimal strategy is to REDUCE your lost-energy. This means avoid superfluous external communication, and channel all your fresh morning energy into your creative work.

See your needs as more important than the needs of others

This is the big thing:

We must overcome Christian morality.

We shall NOT put the needs of others above our own. In-fact, the most epic person would probably be effective in terms of UTILIZING others to promote their own self-interested needs and desires.

But for now, let us be simple in terms of this:

ALWAYS prioritize your needs first, and if you have excess energy later, then help others.
