Start your Day with a Layup

Get out of bed and put some points on the board.

Perhaps its a quick workout. Kick the metabolism into a higher gear. Perhaps it’s reading a chapter of a challenging book. Bring the mind into sharper focus. Perhaps it’s a few basic chores. Shorten that to-do list.

Make it a “goldilocks” task… Not-too-easy, not-too-hard, but still undeniably valuable.

An early morning win is your productivity insurance policy.

With a success already in the bank, you can proceed with full confidence that this cannot, by definition, be a “zero day.” Not to mention, by starting the day net-positive, you also start it momentum-positive.

If the snowball is already rolling by 9am, could you possibly have the full snowman built by lunch?? Maybe. You’ve overcome inertia and the momentum is now on your side.

Wins beget wins. Points beget points.
Get up and take that layup.
