Breakfast For The Boss Of You

Mornings usually start with someone else grabbing the steering wheel. The red dot on your inbox. The blinking notification that screams reply like a toddler in a grocery store. Before you know it you are not living a life, you are answering it.

Try this instead.

Before you touch a screen, give yourself one tiny decision that belongs only to you. Do I want toast or eggs. Coffee at home or coffee on the way. Two real options. Then choose on purpose. No scrolling, no polling the group chat, no defaulting to whatever is closest.

You are not practicing breakfast. You are practicing leadership of your own day.

Underneath the meetings and the errands and the weird small talk in elevators, a day is just a long string of decisions. What to do, when to do it, how much of yourself to bring. If the first decision is yours, the next one is easier. You already cast a vote for your own agency.

Stay Positive & Don’t React To The Day, Choose It
