Morning success ritual: protect the first two hours for high-value work
Start with a personal success ritual: wake up, drink water, exercise, and eat 300-400 calories of raw, green, organic food. Do all of this before checking any email, voicemail, or external communications. Then dedicate the first two hours of your workday exclusively to high-value projects. Gradually expand that to entire days of distraction-free focus on only the highest-leverage activities in your business. The reason to structure your morning this way: humans get very little willpower each day, and most people waste it on internal conflict and resistance before they even open their computer. If you burn your best decision-making capacity on low-value inputs first thing, you have nothing left for the work that actually moves you forward.
