“I built a morning routine that is actually working.”
How you begin the day is how you practice ownership before anyone else has a claim on your attention. A working morning routine is a declaration: you are the first author of your day, not the last responder to everyone else's.
Your Practice
Write down what your routine consists of and what it produces for you by the time the day begins in earnest. Then stress-test it: what is the one circumstance most likely to break it? Build a minimum viable version for that circumstance so the routine survives disruption.
The Architects
“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
— Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack
