I think he is pretty brilliant though, and so I do try to read all of his essays. The WR does take directed focus, and when you are cultivating the habit of doing it I think the best decision you make is definitely <i>when you tackle it:</i> As a habitually early riser, that 5am time works best for me because it is so quiet all around me, and I know I am at the top of my game then - I'm truly a morning person. I also make sure I don't go online until it's done! Once you start to see the effects of having a good Strong Week Plan, it does self-perpetuate, because there is such a huge difference between when you work within one and when you don't --- but yeah, you have to develop the habit first.

I'm interested to see that this resonated with you as well. I agree also about the value of the Weekly Review, but I need to make that a more ironclad commitment to myself. It's too easy to succumb to "latest and loudest" and the next thing I know, the day is over. Rosa: I thought Paul Graham’s article made TERRIFIC points about work flow and time management.
