How you start your day is one of the single most important decision you make.
In fact, I would argue that the way you organize your morning will reflect how the rest of your day will go.
If you are the type who hits the snooze button a few times, I guarantee that you will find yourself distracted throughout the day embracing procrastination and continuing to add things to your to do list.
If you are the type who has an organized routine, I guarantee you can almost predict how your day will go 90% of the time.
There is a significant difference.
In High School, our disciplinarian was a Vietnam Veteran who would bark at us about the 7 P’s.
Prior Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance…Gentlemen.
I think there is some wisdom in this.
Your morning is where you set the tone for the entire day.
If you are content with setting a tone that involves heavy procrastination, don’t be shocked when the results you want don’t come.
You haven’t set yourself up for success.
My encouragement to you is to evaluate how you execute when you first wake up.
My advice can be summarized in a few bullet points
- No snooze option on the alarm
- Remove the cell phone from the bedroom and switch to an “old-school” alarm clock
- Wait 1 hour before any caffeine consumption
- Get some form of movement in (walking is ideal)
- Dedicate 10:00 to visualizing how your day is going to go
- Read 10 pages of a self improvement book
These tried and true tactics can help you elevate your morning routine so you can conquer the day.
Protect your mornings and watch your whole life transform.
Remember…it’s 4:45 AM…im starting my morning routine off with movement…and if you are walking with me, wherever you are in the world, know that I am praying for you and willfully suffering with you.
Till next week.
