I don’t pay attention to anything in particular.
I usually write answers to people’s questions.

And you can find questions on forums, in email or blogs.

The topic is quite trendy in the net right now. What do you pay the most attention to while choosing what to write ?

[...] Perhaps one of the best examples of this is planning your day’s work the night before. Sean D’Souza of Psychotactics summed it up brilliantly (I must say) in his blog post Three Minutes That Save Three Hours. [...]

Yes there is, and what a great comment you’ve made too.

And of course, I had to go and see your website once you described yourself as ‘bright eyes.’ And the website photo didn’t disappoint

There’s power in this one, Sean, much more than people realize. Some heavy machinery work goes in while sleeping, and when the brain knows its next task, it forms connections around that before you even wake up. This is what can make those first hours so magically productive.

There are times when planning ahead isn’t enough, either. The waking state is not totally predictable. I use a very simple trick to help me across the sleep threshold and into productivity. I call it a “trigger card.” I write a message to myself and place it next to the bed where it is the first thing I’ll see. Usually it’s a friendly pep-talk with a benefit. (“Hi bright eyes! Are you smiling? You’re about to have an amazing day.” Or something like that.) Works great!
Funny brain.
Cheers,
Suzanna
