Not Picking Up My Phone First Thing in the Morning

Oct 12, 2026· 1 min read

Note

Started deliberately trying to not pick my phone up first thing in the morning and honestly I want to make a habit out of it. There’s just something about having a clear head around 4 or 5 am in the morning where everywhere is quiet and it’s just you and your thoughts. It doesn’t have to be hours but 15-30 minutes to at least “boot”.

Suddenly ideas for problems you’ve been trying to solve start popping up.

The Friction Before Doing the Thing Tends to Be a Facade

I don't know how normal this is but I learned some time ago about myself that when I have this strong aversion to trying something, it doesn't really signal anything of importance. I don't necessarily mean a strong intuition against something fishy or sketchy. I mean something like trying a movie, an experience, something new and/or different that I just don't feel like doing. It may even be a gig or an opportunity. Sometimes, there is genuinely something off about it. In those moments, when I ignore myself, i tend to regret it in some way. But in the moments where I can't pinpoint anything and just have this strong resistance to do something, it's usually a poor indicator of how that thing will actually be or feel. And usually, when I muster the strength to push past that specific feeling, I realise it was a lie.

It’s a Good Time to Reiterate That Sometimes, Naivety Is Good

The other day, I was watching a video explaining a comic book storyline where the ideals of an older person clashed with that of a younger one. It was an alternate Spider-man reality in a very corrupt world and a young Peter Parker having so much rage about the injustice of the world and having very simple politics.
