Many days are decided by what happens in the middle of the morning. The early rush passes. The noon edge is still far away. This hour allows for work that needs sound footing and unbroken thought.
Protect it gently. One tab. One document. One small question that would benefit from your best tone. The point is not speed. It is placement. You are placing your best energy where it can actually shape something.
Silence helps. So does modest light and a chair that supports your posture without asking you to notice it. Let the room do its quiet work. When you look up, check the line you wrote at the start. Are you still serving that line. If not, fold back toward it.
By the time the hour ends, you do not need triumph. You need a next step that is obvious and honest. A small anchor in the flow of the day. Keep it and return to it tomorrow. This is how good mornings are made.
