Ask HN: What are the "Best Practices" you generally follow? Here is mine.

Recently I encountered some of the best practices (IMO) on HN/Reddit and I really appreciate them and religiously follow. I would like to hear more that are really helping you succeed in life. Let us consolidate them in one place. No Quotes please.

* Start every day as a producer, not a consumer. Start your first free moments of the day with thoughts of what you really want to do;

* Always be learning something. I always have at least one learning project going on at all times. Last time it was korean language and right now its photography.

* Take Minimalistic approach in Design or at your home (by de-cluttering things once in a while).

* Whatever you do, do it with Confidence. If you are taking a stand which you think might be wrong, be confident then only people will believe.

* "Always do the right thing", even if it comes at personal cost. Don't worry abt result. At that moment if you feel right, then go ahead.

* Presentation skills: whatever you present, present with enthusiasm. If you are not showing interest in what you present, why will audience do??

* Hot girl effect Networking - Never hesitate to say Hi or drop a mail to greet someone who is a top guy. Apply this technique to increase your networking with celebs, CEOs etc
