For 35 years I have studied successful people from all different walks of life. I have found some similarities in their stories. One constant I have seen in almost every high achieving, ‘big life’ person is a thought out morning routine.

I think the brilliance of the morning routine is two fold. One, it makes the morning less about making decisions. You will make scores of choices throughout the rest of the day. It is nice to know when you first awake there is an hour or so of disciplined behavior that you do automatically.
