2020-10-03 The One Thing To Stop
It’s one of the worst things you can do in the morning if you want to be focused, productive, creative, motivated, inspired, and present as an entrepreneur. But according to research from Deloitte:
- 43% do it the first 5 minutes of the day
- 76% do it in the first 30 minutes of the day
- 88% do it in the first hour of the day
When you do it so early, it throws you off and leaves you scatterbrained.
Yet your morning makes or breaks the day.
It sets a powerful precedent: Have a great start and you’ll have a ton of momentum in all of your projects; have a bad start and you’ll struggle to stay afloat, limiting all your potential, your motivation, and your clarity.
That’s why it’s so important to protect your mornings and capitalize on those hours. To do so, start by subtracting the things that sabotage you before adding things.
It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
