from Elon Musk - Habits and Principles by Elon Musk

In 2015, Elon Musk did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit. One of the most popular questions was “What daily habit do you believe has the largest positive impact on your life?” His answer was simply: “Showering.”

How to Apply This

This sounds really cliche, but like, the shower is probably like the most… wake up, go shower in the morning and I think so what’s really happened is things have percolated in the subconscious and it’s not really occurring in the shower but you’re kinda getting the results from last night’s you know, computation, basically.

  1. Shower every morning to get more great ideas.
    Wait, should you take a notebook with you as well?
