what the most successful people do before breakfast by laura vanderkam

One of the ways Vanderkam found that people spend their mornings is working on their careers. Make priorities and work for 90 minutes or more. Pick your favorite one of those three and then do that. Don’t start with reading the Bible, running, and journaling. Vanderkam suggests that you channel your energies into one change at a time – choose a habit your are excited about first. We are like machines, rolling through the well-worn grooves of life, and your excitement is not going to be enough to bounce you from those tracks. When you start ‘redoing’ your mornings, afternoons, work schedules or whatever, it’s going to take time. Repetition (takes time) for betters mornings (or anything else). Here are the four takeaways from this book: 1.

I’ve also discovered good ideas from Vanderkam’s other book, 168 Hours, and thought about how my time is spent in the mornings and what I really want to get done. I’ve also borrowed from Bruce Feiler, who suggests to give kids autonomy for getting their own things done. I’ve borrowed from Jeffery Gitomer, who says that the day really begins the night before and our daughters lay their clothes, breakfasts, and bags out before going to bed. Mornings at our house have gotten to be pretty smooth. I had listened to this audiobook once before and chose it again because it’s a short selection of advice and suggestions for not only a better morning, but a better anything. I recently finished a second reading/listening of Laura Vanderkam’s What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast.
