Such a great post @chbartist!

As a business owner working about 100 hours a week, this post could not be anymore true. All of the listed DONTS is how I went through college before noticing the negative effects it had.
Going through college I would always tell myself when I woke up for the first time that I could sleep in for another 30 minutes, so I would hit the snooze and wake up 30-45 minutes later. After this, I would have to rush all over to get ready, skip eating, always late, and my work wasn't top quality like it should've been.
Now skip forward to the end of my junior year in college. I began to notice that the more I slack in the morning, the more unproductive I am during the day, so one morning I woke up early, made breakfast, and just relaxed for little. Lone behold, I was on time, in a great mood, and produced great work. I never really would've thought that just your morning routine plays such a huge factor in how your day will go.
Now that I am out of school and own a business, I can really see now how important my morning routine is to me mentally and psychically.

Thanks again for the great article,
