Friday Focus
5 Areas I Focus On Every Morning
Things I think on or journal about for “peak productivity”
My morning routine has really started to codify itself in the recent months and I realize that I feel super productive as I start my day. I’m still working out that “afternoon routine” that nobody else talks about. My formula isn’t the ticket to anyone else’s success, but it could give you some nuggets to work with.
It all started with a Notion journaling template. For the longest time I would just open my journal and start writing things. It would get long, it would get hard to reference and I realized it could “be better.”
My morning typically looks like this, the hours change based on what time I wake up;
- Make coffee.
- Do my Wordle (try to beat my wife’s score.)
- Play my iPad games while I wait for the coffee to finish.
- Clean up the kitchen, put away dishes, hand wash the annoying things.
- Go let the chickens out of the coop.
Pretty standard stuff.
Once those are all settled, I’ll open Notion, create a new entry for my journal, titling it with the date and day of the week and then letting it auto-populate with my areas…
