Make a list of books Develop a curiosity Look at things as though for the first time Think of things in relation to each other Always think of the next larger thing Avoid the “pat” answer—the formula Avoid the preconceived idea Study well objects made past recent and ancient but never without the technological and social conditions responsible Prepare yourself to search out the true need—physical, psychological Prepare yourself to intelligently fill that need

A good research question is:  Centered around understanding or discovering something about people (not your product)  A problem/idea we don't fully understand  A concept or idea we need more information on to move forward

Need more energy? Try these unusual tips.    Kickstart your circadian rhythm with solar power!    Immediately after waking up, find the sun and gaze towards the general area for five minutes (but not directly at the sun).   Want fewer energy crashes?    Wait 90 minutes after waking before your coffee or tea to help the body maintain its own energy and cortisol.   Strength? Stamina? Why not both?    Science states that a mix of both aerobic and strength exercises are the best for high energy levels. Mix it up!   Whether 8pm or 4am, stick to a schedule.    Going to bed at a regular time helps your body keep its rhythm, prevents fatigue in the day and makes sleep easier at night.

Everyone wants to succeed immediately and without pain or effort. Bad advice is everywhere. Build a following. Establish a platform. Learn how to scam the system. In other words, do all the surface stuff and none of the real work it takes to actually produce something of value. The disease of our times is that we live on the surface. We're like the Platte River, a mile wide and an inch deep. Real work and real satisfaction come from the opposite of what the web provides. They come from going deep into something—the book you're writing, the album, the movie—and staying there for a long, long time.
