that time, it’s a no brainer that I need to recharge and refresh so that I can
handle the second half of my day with the same focus and energy as I did the
first half. Every person has a different way of staying invigorated and
recharging his or her batteries. It doesn’t matter what it is, you just have to
identify it and make time for it. I would strongly encourage new entrepreneurs
to heed this advice because a fresh mind holds the key to their success.
ANDREW MASON is the co-founder of Detour and former co-founder and
CEO of Groupon. In an interview for this book, Andrew provided this
productivity advice:
Rather than give a specific piece of advice (I have tons but none of it is rocket
science), I'll just say that actually being disciplined about adopting these
habits is, in my experience, a huge differentiator of successful people.
I often meet people who seem smarter than me yet are less capable because
they don't have the self-discipline and/or self-confidence to introspect on their
ability to do what they think they're going to do and find ways to iteratively
improve. Amazingly, I think it's as simple as that. It's kind of a sore spot for me
because I can't understand why more people don't take it seriously.
If I was building a character in a business video game and I had ten character
points to distribute I'd put 3 of them into intelligence and 7 of them into self-
discipline.
