Writing advice from Neil Strauss:

Neil is super serious about this. These are his life-changing tips about productivity.

• No email in the morning. He uses an app called Freedom to block his email and inbound messages in the morning. He gives his phone to someone or puts it in a drawer.
• He schedules all of his meetings and tasks on Monday. Tuesday through Friday he just writes.
• So that he doesn’t have to spend mental cycles thinking about lunch, he has automated his lunch deliveries.
