The morning sets the tone. A reactive morning, immediately checking email and responding to others, puts you on the defensive. A proactive morning, doing your important work first, puts you in control.
Protect the morning from invasion. Delay email. Delay social media. Delay the reactive work that will consume you if you let it. Use the fresh hours for what matters most.
This protection requires boundaries. Not every job allows complete control. But most people have more control than they exercise. The morning can be protected if you choose to protect it.
What would a protected morning look like for you?
