What 10 New Things Could You Wake Up & Immediately Do?

Exercise the creativity muscle firs thing so you are ready for the day

Creates energy for the day. You are supposed to exercise in morning and not night. Which seems counterintuitive because maybe exercising would make me tired. But it actually gives energy for rest of day.

First thing in the morning, get out in the sun, look up, and look at the horizon. Apparently there are dopamine receptors on the eyelids and all of these things will increase energy in the morning.

Gets the networking going early in the day.

This has been a great tip for me that I've been doing recently. I avoid looking online for first hour of the day and instead read a book. Gets me thinking about life in general or the things I'm learning as opposed to getting sucked into the Borg first thing in the morning.

You get dehydrated at night. Great to drink water first thing in the morning.

I try to write every day in the morning. I've been doing this for about 30 years. But replace writing with, "Thing you love that is difficult to master." I have the most energy in the morning (makes sense since I was sleeping to rebuild energy). So I do the most difficult thing. Then, in afternoon, I do "business" stuff - phone calls, Zoom meetings, etc since the business stuff is never as difficult as the thing I am trying to master.

I never do any meetings, podcasts, or even phone calls, before noon.

I try to laugh every morning. I say "try" since I'm not sure I've been doing this as much lately but I should.

Ever since David Sinclair came on my podcast I've been taking the various anti-aging supplements he recommended. NMN, Resveratrol, and some others, including Vitamin D.

I'm always up earlier than her. So important to me when she wakes up that I am smiling and happy to see her.
