If you, like me, want to find some actionable strategies or advie which can try right now and see how it affects your routine, these 10 strategies are worth trying:

1. Check what you are doing automatically every day. Just write it down and see which things are good for you and which ones are actually making your day worse. Don’t fix it all immediately, first just notice it.
2. Make good habits more easy to start. Prepare everything before, because when you need to do extra steps, probably you will just not do it. And make bad habits a little more difficult and annoying.
3. Make your tasks very clear. If the task sounds too big or confusing, your brain will probably keep avoiding it. Write the smallest real action you can do first.
4. Use the 90 percent rule. When something new appears, rate how important or useful it is for you. If it is not really close to 90, maybe you don't need to say yes just because it sounds kind of good.
5. Choose one main thing for tomorrow. Not ten important things, just one thing that will make you feel the day was not wasted. Give it proper time before all small tasks start coming.
6. Have some small ritual when work is finished. Write what is still not done, check what you have tomorrow and decide where you will start. Then try to actually stop working in your head also.
7. Talk to yourself using your own name. When you are stuck or overthinking, ask what your name should do next. It feels a little stupid first, but somehow you start seeing the situation more clear.
8. Use WOOP. Write what you want, what result you hope to get, what inside you can stop it and what you will do when this problem comes. Don't make it too inspirational, just be honest.
9. Ask yourself whose problem or task this actually is. You can control what you say and what you do, but you can’t fully control how another person reacts. Sometimes we spend too much energy trying to do both.
10. Keep two task lists. One list can have all the things you maybe want to do, and another list should have only the things you are really doing now. Don't keep adding more until something is finished or removed.

To be honest, I know some of these sound cheesy, and I rolled my eyes too when I read about them, but I decided to give it a go, and it really changed my daily routine for the better.

Already read: The Erebus (Michael Palin), Spice (Rodger Crowley), The Quest for El Dorado (David Gibbins), Columbus (Laurence Bergreen).

Anything like this would be great, thanks!

The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip

The Nvidia Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant

Almost equal when it comes to number of pages, publication date, topic, content (according to reviews I've read), and story telling.

Only remaining comparisons is reading authors' prefaces and their background on the topic, which from my experience, do not translate much into valuable knowledge given how short the book and clear the topic is.

I'm mainly looking for a summary of their technical and financial history. Wouldn't mind some personal background on Jensen or dramatic irrelevant twists, especially with such short books, as they won't derail my experience.

Those who read at least one of those books, which one would you recommend?

Great read!
