Here are the six simple rituals he uses to perform at his highest, which you too can begin implementing right away:
1. Drink a glass of water when you wake up. Your
body loses water while you sleep, so you’re naturally dehydrated in the
morning. A glass of water when you wake helps start your day fresh.
When do you drink your first glass of water each day?
2. Define your top 3. Every morning Mike asks
himself, “What are the top three most important tasks that I will
complete today?” He prioritizes his day accordingly and doesn’t sleep
until the Top 3 are complete. What’s your "Top 3" today?
3. The 50/10 Rule. Solo-task and do more faster by
working in 50/10 increments. Use a timer to work for 50 minutes on only
one important task with 10 minute breaks in between. Mike spends his 10
minutes getting away from his desk, going outside, calling friends,
meditating, or grabbing a glass of water. What’s your most important
task for the next 50 minutes?
4. Move and sweat daily. Regular movement keeps us
healthy and alert. It boosts energy and mood, and relieves stress. Most
mornings you’ll find Mike in a CrossFit or a yoga class. How will you
sweat today?
5. Express gratitude. Gratitude fosters happiness,
which is why Mike keeps a gratitude journal. Every morning, he writes
out at least five things he’s thankful for. In times of stress, he’ll
pause and reflect on 10 things he’s grateful for. What are you grateful
for today?
6. Reflect daily. Bring closure to your day through
10 minutes of reflection. Mike asks himself, “What went well?” and “What
needs improvement?” So... what went well today? How can you do more of
it?
