Two Awesome Hours

Book: Two Awesome Hours by Josh Davis, PhD 

Key Takeaway: When moving on from a task, think of it as a ‘decision point.’ Maximize on these moments and CHOOSE what to do next. Do not run down a to-do list on autopilot.


Other big ideas:

  • Plan decision points in advance, don’t move forward unless you are consciously choosing the right one
  • Choose what to ignore (selective ignorance), you can’t focus on too much at the same time
  • Decide if you’re working for creativity or productivity
    • Creativity: get away from the ‘problem’ at hand, let your mind wander, listen to music, soft lighting
    • Production: focus, little to no noise/music/podcasts, plan decision points, bright lights
