Oct 10, 2025
Building momentum requires developing a reflection muscle and managing energy effectively.
Reflection practices:
- Take notes during events and identify improvements immediately
- Make reflection a personal exercise first, then share with others
- Faster, more frequent reflection leads to less regret
The 'Seven Paintings' approach:
- Work on multiple projects simultaneously
- Allow oscillation between different areas when stuck
- Prevents burnout from over-focusing on one project
Evening preparation technique:
- Review one problem before leaving work without solving it
- Let your mind process overnight
- Wake up with fresh momentum and ideas
Energy management:
- Focus on energy over time management
- Avoid just 'getting things done' - bring full engagement
