With all that is going on right now and how it is effecting you or even not effecting you, I am sure you can see or feel that sense of URGENCY coming at you from every direction. Like you need to start something new, do more, create more, serve more, be more.

We all know the greatest businesses and people were created through these times of hardship and crisis. Maybe you’re seeing other leaders or people you really look up to talking about the same things and how you need to take advantage of this TIME you now have….. and THIS is your opportunity. 

But I think there is something extremely important that needs to be clarified. Yes, you have the time and opportunity to do more, create more, serve more, be more….but for some of you, that may not be the answer. Listen now.

What is so important about a morning routine? 

Productivity. The morning routine helps us set the tone for the day, better allowing us to control our schedules rather than our schedule controlling us. As we start each day fresh, we can better focus on what is in front of us, where to prioritize our time, and, ultimately, increase our productivity.  This is how I am able to handle everything that I do. IT IS CRITICAL. I hope sharing mine will help push you to start yours...tonight!
