A Few Hacks to Become More Productive First Thing in the Morning
Preparation is half the productivity battle
Just a few ways, huh? OK, I’ll do my best.
1. Recall Your WHY
Every morning I repeat my personal mission statement. It helps me to narrow down my focus and find deep meaning in everyday trivia.
There are other methods to recall your why - looking at a vision board, reading your long-term plans, etc.
2. Have a Plan
Well, having even a single priority for the day is as beneficial as having a wholesome plan, especially if you aren’t in much control of your schedule (kids, spouse, employer…).
It’s smart to set this priority an evening before or first thing in the morning. You need to be realistic about this. If you plan a day before for something robust, you need to reserve time in your schedule for this task. Otherwise setting a daily priority will be an exercise of futility and will frustrate you more than not having a plan at all.
