Build Routines That Boost Output

Forget 5 AM miracle mornings. The best routines are the ones you actually stick to. Here's a flexible routine that keeps my output high—even on chaotic days:

• Start with a focus ritual: Mine is reviewing my 3 top goals for the day.

• Time-block deep work: One 90-minute block is enough to move the needle.

• Midday reset: A walk or quiet break clears mental fog.

• End with a shutdown: I jot down tomorrow’s 3 priorities in Notion.

The key? Make it repeatable, not rigid. Your routine should support your energy, not drain it. Try tweaking yours to work with your natural flow—not against it.
