🚣 What should you say no in the morning?
Whether you’re a morning person or a night owl, we all start our day at some point. And we all seem to start it differently.
Some of us hop online to check social media, others dive into an email, still, others eat breakfast, exercise, or pack lunches for the kids. There’re a million different ways a morning could go.
Out of curiosity, I've posted a question on Product Hunt to find out what people need to say no in the morning in order to have a more productive day.
Here are a few of the answers:
- "No Instagram, only after breakfast!"
- "I have a very controlled morning routine, as that sets my mental state for the day. No phone or computer or email. I read my goals out loud. When I'm going through my morning routine (brushing my teeth, etc) I'm thinking about my day ahead and what the big things are to tackle. I'm aware of my mental state and if it's distracting or not on point, I give it focus and put it on point."
- "No phone, email, news, notifications until you have set the agenda and know what your most important tasks are for the day TO YOU. Do those... then look at what other people's agendas are."
- sleep, gym, piano, cat... and a bunch of other things that take time from work

This book is a new updated version of David Allen's book and the GTD ("getting things done") method. Reading this book helped me to be appropriately engaged with my work and life simply, and that's something I want for you as well.
