Early Morning Habits of Successful People
There is one thing that distinguishes successful people. They get a lot done. And while we all have several balls in the air, these high performers seem to have exceptionally high output. So…how do they do it?
A recent article in Inc. Magazine shared several nuggets that you may find useful. As you might expect, how you start the day can set the tone for how much you accomplish. The most successful people begin by focusing on their top priority, and science gives us more insight into what works about this practice. A well-known psychology professor from Florida State University found that willpower is like a muscle that becomes tired when overused. So, mornings offer a fresh boost to the willpower muscle, enabling successful people to focus on their most critical goals first.
Take a look at the other early morning habits that successful people exhibit, and notice which ones you currently put into practice.
- Wake up early
- Exercise or meditate in the morning
- Work on a personal passion
- Spend quality time with family
- Network with friends and advocates
- Develop plans or strategies
- Catch up on current events
- Make a list of things for which they are grateful
