Before the day sprints away, prime your brain in ten minutes.
Minute 0–2: Wake the body
Water + two deep breaths with long exhales.
Minute 2–4: Clear the cache
Write a quick “mind dump.” No grammar, just unload.
Minute 4–7: Choose one win
Circle a task that matters and can move in 15 minutes. Name the first micro-step.
Minute 7–9: Visualize the start
Close your eyes for 60 seconds: see yourself doing the first step calmly. Then open your tools.
Minute 9–10: Stand & begin
Stand, stretch, sit, start. Momentum > motivation.
Tip: Keep this routine printed on a sticky note. Repeat for one week and notice the difference.
