3. Jump rope for 2 mins
This will activate your mind + body.
4. Step outside
Jump rope outdoors? Get 2-for-1. A healthy tide of cortisol is released when you step outside at daybreak, allowing you to become more alert.
You'll reset your circadian rhythm.

5. Review your goals
Remind yourself who you want to be. 14% who have goals are 10x more successful than those without goals. The 3% with written goals are 3x more successful than the 14%.
6. Read a passage
Philosophy, religion, etc. I like âThe Daily Stoicâ by Ryan Holiday.

Read philosophy (or scriptures) before you check your phone.
Happiness is abundant by design, scarce by luck.

10. Hide your phone
The best productivity app on your phone is called airplane mode (use it).
11. Score your day (like a movie) with music
Music is a powerful mood enhancer. Almost everything is more enjoyable with music, right? So enjoy it.
My go-to: Hans Zimmer.

12. Drink water before meals
Uncomfortable fact: More people die in the U.S. from overfeeding than underfeeding.
Drink a glass of water before your meals. Youâll feel fuller (and prevent overeating).

14. End workday with a shutdown ritual
Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your lap, plug in the charger, spend 2 mins tidying your desk. Then say âshutdownâ.
Separating your life and work is key.

15. Journal 1 beautiful life moment
Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down. Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

18. Charge your phone outside of reach
The morning alarm will spring you out of bed. And the day is on.

21. Give your mind an overnight task
Upon closing your eyes, give your mind a job. âHow might I make an extra $1k each month?â
Donât try to solve it then; just release it to your subconscious (which will work on it overnight).
