That’s why I’ve created this quick, no-fluff cheatsheet to help you win your mornings, leave the hotel on time, and maximize every moment of your day. Ready to take control and make the most of your adventure?
Let’s dive in!
The Morning Plan
1. Prep the Night Before (10 minutes)
Lay out your outfit, pack your bag, and charge your devices.
Check the weather and adjust your plans if needed.
Review your itinerary and confirm any reservations or tickets.
2. Set a Clear Morning Routine (20-30 minutes)
Wake Up with Purpose: Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier than you think you need.
Move Your Body (5-10 minutes): Stretch or do a quick workout to energize.
Hydrate and Fuel Up (10 minutes): Drink water and eat a light, energizing breakfast.
Plan Your Day (5 minutes): Use a notebook or the Growth Day app to outline your top 3 priorities for the day.
3. Time-Block Your Morning (5 minutes)
Allocate specific times for each task:
7:00 AM: Wake up and stretch.
7:15 AM: Breakfast.
7:30 AM: Final bag check and review itinerary.
7:45 AM: Head out the door.
Stick to the schedule—no snoozing or distractions!
Pro Tips for Staying on Track
1. Avoid Morning Time-Wasters.
Skip scrolling through social media or checking emails until you’re out the door.
Keep your focus on the essentials—don’t overcomplicate your morning.
2. Use Visual Cues.
Place your packed bag and shoes by the door as a reminder to stay on schedule.
Write your top 3 priorities on a sticky note and place it where you’ll see it first thing.
3. Set a Departure Alarm.
Set a second alarm 10 minutes before you need to leave as a final nudge to get moving.
