3. How do you structure your work days from waking up to going to sleep?
Mornings don't have to be rough. By doing a few focused things when you wake up, you can set yourself up for more productivity throughout the day. If it seems daunting to overhaul your morning routine all at once, introduce one new practice a week and see if you notice improvement.After all, they say if you win the morning, you win the day. Don't we all want to win at life? (So wake up time- 5 am, that’s an ideal time as per my choice) after that the structure will be like this
(A)-Wake Up At YOUR Right Time
(B)-Eliminate Decision-Making Tasks In The Morning
(C)-Create A Morning Routine To Focus Your Mind
(D)-Move Around And Hydrate
(E)-Eat The Frog... Or Tadpoles (The "frog" I am talking about is your most important task or work—the one you're dreading the most because it's so big and important that it’s looming over you. Building the habit to do your biggest task first can give you a huge boost of accomplishment first thing.)
