People love to shit on linkedinlunatics (myself included) but people who think that you can get up at 11am, never exercise, never structure your day, and spend all day on lemmy and somehow achieve your goals are just as delusional.

This list might seem crazy to some people (some of the advice is hyper specific to this person's specific lifestyle) but literally everything is a good idea on it. You don't become successful at a thing unless you make a plan and structure your day around that priority. Learning how to say no to things is huge. People pleasing is a mental illness. If you have the ability to say no, and you're not at risk of getting fired or letting down someone you care about, if it doesn't serve your goals, you say no to it.

My biggest criticism is that I'm not really the one who sets my meeting schedule, even when I'm the one who sends the invite. Unless your entire company has a "no meetings until 2pm" policy this isn't really doable. Especially if you work with people in multiple time zones.
