Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey gave a talk recently at Y Combinator’s Startup School. Ryan Lawler of TechCrunch covered the speech.
He told the crowd that he creates notes for each person he meets, building detailed lists of important things that come from meetings with them, or that he’d like to relay to get things done. He also has a “Do” and “Don’t” list that he takes a look at daily.That Do list is as follows:
Stay present
Be vulnerable
Drink only lemon water and red wine
Six sets of 20 squats and push-ups every day
Run for 3 miles
Meditate on this list
Stand up straight
Spend 10 minutes with a heavy bag
Say hello to everyone
Get 7 hours of sleep
And the “Don’ts”:
Don’t avoid eye contact
Don’t be late
Don’t set expectations that you can’t meet
Don’t eat sugar
Don’t drink hard liquor or beer during the weekday

While I might not agree with all his priorities, it's a great idea to constantly refocus your priorities. I might start with something like ... Pray. Put people first. Remember your family. Work at your marriage. Read. Read the Bible. Ask people what's important to them. Talk about what's important to you. ...
Thanks for commenting, Ryan. I know you do exactly the things you wrote about. I appreciate you.
