The best way to ensure a great life is to ensure each year is great, which means strive to make each day great. The best way to do that is to do the most important thing first, since mornings are easier to control until the day gets busy with other people’s priorities. Assuming you have a Night Ritual, structure your morning in such a way that the one most important thing that you need to creatively do that day happens first, before your brain takes in inputs. What is the one thing that you need to create, do, or prepare for so that if nothing else happens today, it is a great day already. Do that first, before any digital stimulation (email, alerts, etc) that will put you in reactive mode instead of creative mode. This presupposes that you know what you want, which is not a small thing. If you don’t know what you want, the most important thing for the next few days is to journal and iterate about what you want. Then you can use your mornings to make major progress on that, and regardless of what happens the rest of the day, you’ve already won!
