Transcript

So what do you do as a first thing when you sit down at your computer in the morning? You may be jumping right into your emails or Slack. Maybe you read the news. But how you start your day is incredibly important because [music] you can set yourself up for success or failure. So to ground myself, the first thing I do is open my daily page which has been automatically [music] created for me through a recurring template here in my daily pages database. The first thing I do is rename the page and I also track my sleep. And you can see here that I'm also tracking um a couple of other items. And that's how this daily pages database actually functions as a great habit tracker as well. Then I work through my startup checklist which are a few items that take just about maybe 5 to 10 minutes and which helps me get settled for the day and make sure I'm not forgetting anything. And as I'm going through all of these uh different uh places and tools, I apply the twominut rule. That means if there's anything to be done that takes 2 minutes or less, I will do it straight away and just get it off my plate. But if it takes longer, then I'm just going to add it to my [music] task list.
