Why the world’s most successful people prioritize this daily practice over everything else

Your morning routine starts a powerful and meaningful day. Staying focused on your priorities can help you direct your energy to the right tasks and avoid being overwhelmed.

There are FOUR practical rules I was inspired by thoughtful leaders and mentors and why those work!

1?? The Importance of Routines & Mindset:

?? Start the day positively by avoiding emails first thing in the morning and engaging in physical activity like surfing or foiling.

?? Meditative, focus-resetting activity before diving into work to avoid getting overwhelmed by negative news or urgent tasks.

2???Balancing Long-Term Vision with Immediate Execution?Leaders must balance short-term execution with long-term strategy.

?? When people who feel insecure sometimes focus on short-term outcomes but lose passion shortly after tracking those endless short-term outcomes. Reviewing your long-term goals consistently will help you stay on track and keep excited about your achievements along the way.

3?? Managing Energy & Avoiding Burnout

?? Stay mindful of which tasks drain your?energy the most. Follow the 80/20 rule?to prevent burning out.

?? It’s good to work intensively but stay focused on the “Eye of Sauron”:?direct your attention strategically?rather than overwhelming a single area.

4?? Building Resilience & Handling Criticism Handling doubt and criticism is part of leading innovation.

?? Train ourselves to see misunderstandings or skepticism as a sign of pushing boundaries rather than something negative.

?? Writing a 5-Minute Journal

I began to write a journal 10 years ago. The notebooks help me remember what happened to my life and what shaped me today. I appreciate that I got a new notebook from a new friend, Lydia Huang who greatly inspired me with her story and the things she is working on. If you are a professional looking for career guidance, chat with her; she can definitely share insightful advice with you.

Okay, here are 3 simple things you can write down within 5 mins to start your day!

1. Morning Gratitude: Write three things you’re grateful for to start the day with a positive mindset.

2. Daily Focus: List three things you want to accomplish, helping prioritize tasks.

3. End-of-Day Reflection: In the evening, reflect on three amazing things that happened, reinforcing positive experiences.
