The 5-Minute Morning Reset

Some mornings get away from us before they even start. This reset is a simple sequence designed to take five minutes flat and set the rest of your day in motion.

Step one: open a window for sixty seconds. Step two: write down the single most important thing you want to finish today. Step three: pour the drink you actually want, not the one you grab on autopilot.

That's it. The whole point is to make the first decision of the day a deliberate one — everything else gets easier from there.
