What is Dru's Notes?

One mental model each day in a few minutes. Habits, business, building products and thinking clearly. From Dru Riley, founder of Trends.vc.

"The right thing at the right time is the right thing. The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing."
Tom Ford

I drank tea before I meditated and the day went sideways.

Most mornings I meditate first, then drink tea. That day I flipped it. The caffeine was already working when I sat down. I spent the whole meditation with a restless mind.

Salt and yeast both belong in dough. Let them touch before the flour goes in and the salt kills the yeast. Same ingredients, wrong order, nothing rises.

A good day is the right habits in the right order.
