The number one reason you’re anxious and stressed in the morning… ... is because of something you DIDN’T do the day before. It all comes back to your planning and preparation for the next day. Let me explain… If you’re making your to-do list in the morning… You’re already way too late. When you spend that first 10, 20, or 30 minutes thinking about what to do… You’re wasting the most precious part of the day. Plus, when you don’t have a plan you lack intention... and the day can easily start to slip away. So what’s the fix? Simple… Rewind to the night before and do these 3 things... 1. Brain Dump Get everything out of your head and down on paper. Anything that’s weighing on you. Anything you need or want to get done. I guarantee you’ll feel instant relief. 2. Priority To-Do List Go through everything you just wrote down and determine what actually needs to happen. Eliminate whatever doesn’t require your attention (a hidden benefit is seeing much of what you’re stressing about doesn’t really matter). Prioritize the items that require action and order them by importance for tomorrow. You don’t want a dozen things on here if you can help it… But at a minimum have your top 1, 2, 3 important tasks identified. Keep it simple. 3. Process Planning This is where the magic starts to happen… Figure out small things you can do to make that #1 most important task go a little easier tomorrow. Have an email or report to write? Try jotting down bullets to some of the key points. Project to work on in the AM? You could have whatever documents or websites you’ll need already open and ready on your computer. The point is to reduce friction and make transitioning to these tasks as quick and seamless as possible. --- With these 3 steps in place… You will master your mornings. You’ll get rid of your anxiety. And you’ll dominate in business and in life. To Your Success, Craig PS - Are you a business owner? Would you like a free coaching call with my team?
