Morning Routine

I stopped writing to-do lists and started asking one question every morning instead. It quietly reorganized how I spend my best hours.

I spent two years perfecting my morning routine. The endless tweaking turned out to be the most elaborate procrastination of my life.

One tiny action, done before anything else, quietly set the tone for every hour that followed. It cost me two minutes and changed the whole day.

The honest result of waking at 5 AM for a month — including the part nobody mentions when they sell you the dream.
