Prepare the first hour

Design Monday's first hour tonight, while you still have willpower.

The idea

The first hour of Monday sets the tone for the week. Decide it before Sunday ends.

Why it matters

Decision fatigue is highest when we are rushed. Preparing removes friction from the moment when willpower is lowest.

The shift

From improvising Monday morning to designing it.

Try this today

Write the first three things you will do tomorrow. Set out anything you will need. Choose the time you will begin.

Reflection question

What will I do in the first hour tomorrow, and what can I prepare tonight?

Write your answer

Part of: Build discipline, Build better habits

Keep going
