Win the first battle of the day and you won’t end up chasing the rest of the day. Every day is a battle and the morning is the first fight of the day. If you can master morning routine and develop an organised plan your chances of a successful day/week will drastically improve. Listen in today to hear Neil share his thoughts on winning the morning battle and how you too can create a plan and see better results and a huge payoff every day.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
If you can win the morning battle then you don’t need to play catch up all-day. The morning is when you should take care of the crucial stuff that you want to be done before anything else.
If you win the first battle of the day you can put yourself in a positive place, just by developing a positive routine and using it every day (including weekends) Ask yourself, what would your perfect morning look like? How would it feel to get ‘that’ done before you start the day?
By creating a routine you will begin to operate by habit and will see better results with less effort, but if you make up your morning routine on the fly, it will take a lot more mental energy.
One of the most essential things you can do is to have a plan for every day. You should prioritise and diarise your daily tasks so that you know what you’re doing and when you’re doing it.
Brain dump. Write everything down that you need to do, plan and action that week, preferably with a pen so that you can’t remove it and you keep yourself accountable.
Train your unconscious mind. When you layout your projects for the next day and tell your mind to ‘get to work on it’ your mind will gather, prepare and queue up everything that you need to complete your project in the morning.
Your routine and your plan overtime will become who you are and you will automatically be admired by people and your position in the marketplace will improve.
BEST MOMENTS“Don’t let the day begin out of control.”“Keep pace with a time-based plan than chasing your own tale and not having any plan at all.”“Life is a serious business and can be great fun, but ‘winging’ it is not an option”“Planning needs a little discipline. A little bit of discipline over time will bring about huge payoffs.”“I’m not driven, I’m compelled and drawn towards what I do”“Be someone with a good flight plan”
