If I don’t have a vision that translates into a plan then I spend the day reacting. An email here. A question there. A task that felt urgent but probably was not. By the end of the day I had been busy the entire time and somehow still felt behind.

Every successful person you admire has a morning routine. Some wake up at 4am and meditate for an hour. Some run five miles before most people have hit snooze for the second time.
