When you wake up every morning, what is the first thing that you do? If you are like most of us, you reach for your phone.
Research conducted by Deloitte in 2016 has shown that 88% of people check their phone within the first hour of waking up. 43% of us are scrolling through emails, news, and social media within five minutes of rising, and 76% of us within the first 30 minutes.
The issue with that is, how we begin our day sets the tone for our creativity, clarity, and productivity. And pretty much nothing on social media, or even in our inbox, sets us up for success.
In the morning, we are at the height of our emotional, mental, and physical potential. This time is best used by focusing our heightened potential toward accomplishing our top priorities.
When we check emails, we instantly place ourselves in a reactionary state, becoming overwhelmed at all of the things we must do. Frequently, these tasks are not aligned with our top priorities, derailing us from concentrating on what is important.
