The 5-Minute Morning

Busy every morning, yet the important work never moves?

You open your eyes and the messages, orders, invoices and meetings are already waiting. You work non-stop all day. At night you look back, and the one task that would actually grow your work has not been touched.

You are not lazy. You are working in the order things arrive: whoever writes first gets answered first, whatever is loudest gets done first. It keeps you busy, but it does not move you forward.

The fix is simpler than it sounds: spend the first 5 minutes of the day choosing the right work, before you open your messages.
