I function at a much higher level with margin, and in my day to day work it is better if that margin is in the morning. I love a clear morning where I can exercise, then enter the day via the thoughtful morning routine that I have built for myself. A Bullet Journal review of where I left off yesterday, followed by some reading and contemplation time. As I sit here typing right now, watching the dog twitch on the couch as she dreams, I feel more ready for the tasks ahead. Some of this may be confirmation bias because I got a really great night of sleep last night. I, however, enter these days with a plan and intention. I must protect my mornings.
