The Routine Mistake Most Leaders Make

I wake up at 4:30 am.

Brush my teeth. Knock out an Elevate brain-training lesson. Four bodyweight exercises.

Read 10 pages. Take a 1-mile walk.

On my walk, I listen to “My First Million” podcast. Shower.

Eight projects lined up. Two 30-minute video blocks. Campaign decisions. Push a top-of-funnel offer.

Evening walk – call my parents, text my brother.

Dinner together at the table. Play a game. Magnesium supplement.

In bed by 10 pm. Pleased I moved with intention.

𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧? 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤, 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞.

Most days, I wake at 5:30 am, scramble through Elevate while brushing my teeth.

Create content on the fly. Needs a Grammarly review. Forget to add the right visuals.

Skip the podcast. Just Clipse or Kendrick Lamar in the background. Saving AI videos to YouTube playlists, knowing I’ll never catch up. Education FOMO is real – I smash the like button anyway.

Skip the calls. Skip the texts. Watch Matt Wolfe. Drink Poppi. Daughter’s on Roblox. Wife’s watching Black Mirror.

Still, I sleep soundly – thanks to melatonin. Drooling as I nod off.

Every day doesn’t need to outshine the last.
You don’t have to be on your “A” game daily.
Aim for excellent execution, but don’t talk down to yourself when you miss.

Goodness and mercy follow effort.
Sleep better. Move forward.
Life is a highway.

How long do you
want to ride it?
