Here's a routine I set for one of my CEOs of a busy 9 figure business. Try this out for a few weeks and let me know how this works for you. THE DAILY BASE ROUTINE A Simple Productivity System for Focus, Energy & Consistency Purpose: This routine is designed to help you: - Start the day with clarity instead of chaos - Improve focus and follow-through - Protect energy so you don’t burn out - Stay consistent without overthinking THE CORE RULE You don’t need more motivation. You need fewer decisions. This routine removes friction and gives you a default way to start and end your day. MORNING: SET THE DAY (30–60 MIN TOTAL) 1. Wake & Hydrate (5 min) - Drink a full glass of water - Get some light (outside if possible) - Do not open email or social media yet Why: This wakes your brain without stress and prevents reactive behavior first thing in the morning. 2. Quiet Time (5–10 min) Choose one: - Simple breathing - Prayer - Meditation - Sitting quietly with no phone Rule: No inputs. Just slow down. Why: This lowers stress and improves decision-making for the rest of the day. 3. Read or Learn (5–10 min) - Read 2–5 pages - Or listen to something educational - No doom scrolling, no news Why: Good input early = better thinking later. 4. Write or Plan (5–10 min) Answer these 3 questions: 1. What matters today? 2. What’s one thing I must complete? 3. What can wait? Write it down. Keep it simple. 5. Move Your Body (10–20 min) This is not a workout requirement. Options: - Walk - Stretch - Bodyweight movements - Light strength work Rule: You should finish feeling better, not exhausted. Why: Movement improves focus, mood, and energy. DAYTIME: PROTECT YOUR FOCUS Time Blocking (Simple Version) - Pick 2–3 blocks during the day for focused work - During those blocks: No notifications No multitasking One task only Even 30–45 minutes counts. Energy Rule If you feel scattered: - Drink water - Take a short walk - Breathe slowly for 2 minutes
