OK, maybe I don't have to agree with the rest of the article, but:

> Rule 2: Begin working immediately, as soon as I wake up.

> Rule 3: Internet and Phone stays off for the first hour.

This do actually work for me too.

The days that I'm the most productive is when I wake up, and almost immediately jump straight in building.

The few extra thing includes: 1) Get a mug (big one) of water a.k.a H2O, 2) Grab some saltine cracker to suppress hungry until lunch time, 3) Open SoundCloud/some music app. Wastes about three minutes total. Then, it's just me, the music and idea flowing out to the real world.

If I have to make myself a breakfast, it will ...break... my momentum very ...fast. I often just start checking phone while waiting things to heat up etc.

It's not healthy for long term, not eating breakfast, but it's fine if you do it one day for every month or so.
