OK, so I wrote this post, then found one similar by ... But ๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป'๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ!! AND I created a graphic for all of these tips to practice my notebook LM skills. Because those of us who have been to a few summits by now know that summits can be intense. Not bad intense, just I don't wanna miss anything, and the next one is starting in a few minutes, and I need to get lunch, and I need to run errands andโฆ You get the idea. ๐ and have talked about prepping meals in advance so kitchen trips are short and minimal. That way you don't miss anything! But what about everything else? ๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐ ๐'๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐ I got when I asked AI what advice it had. ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ "๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ" ๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐
- Stand up and stretch for 2 to 5 minutes. Walk around the house. Refill water. Look out a window at something far away to relax your eyes/
Even tiny movement breaks help prevent the "I've been in this chair for 8 hours" feeling.

- Morning coffee outside. Sunset walk. 10 minutes on the patio between sessions
This helps keep you connected to your real life instead of feeling trapped in Summit World for three straight days.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฒ๐:
You will be staring at screens a lot. Try:
- Artificial tears if your eyes get dry. Blue light glasses if they help you. Looking at distant objects every 20 minutes. Slightly lowering screen brightness.
๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ: Instead of trying to absorb everything:
Create three sections: 1. Ideas to Implement Now. 2. Interesting but Not Urgent. 3. Follow Up Later
This keeps you from feeling overwhelmed by 500 ideas.

- Give yourself permission to: Skip sessions. Leave sessions early. Watch replays later
The goal is not consumption, it's transformation.

Even if it's only 10 minutes. Between sessions:
- Keep a tiny sketchbook nearby and paint a color swatch. Sketch something from your desk. Try crochet or another craft.
This helps keep you in creator mode instead of becoming a passive consumer.

- You do not need to participate in everything. Choose one or two places to engage and ignore the rest.
๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
- At the end of each day spend 15 minutes answering: 1. What excited me today? 2. What am I definitely implementing? 3. What can I safely ignore?
This is where the real value happens.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ "๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐"
- The day after the summit: No major meetings. No launches. No big decisions. Lighter workload
Your brain will need time to process everything.
