Jeannette Fernandez loves receiving, reading, digesting and then discussing your concepts near the start of each week (if in the USA). I thank you for her .... and for me as the one who most benefits from her advanced thinking and analysis. Freeman Craig
My #1 priority in the morning is writing in my morning pages. This happens right after I wake up, before I turn on any screens, before coffee. Sometimes I wake up a little later and getting ready for work throws this off, but most days I try to stick to it, even on vacations. I've been intending to tack on a meditation right after the journaling too. After reading your meditation article, I'll attempt to do: morning pages > meditation > coffee
Part of my morning routine is getting into my inbox and handling as many messages as I can by responding, making decisions, deleting, or scheduling for another time. I find an already full inbox in the morning is very distracting to getting on with productive activity, because I feel I have loose ends hanging over my head. When I'm fresh in the morning I am more efficient and effective at handling things without getting into too much overthinking, cogitation, delay. So I go for zero inbox as soon as I can in the morning and then turn my attention to the most important creative work. Which I know is reverse to what many productivity folks recommend. But that's how my routine has developed.
