The #1 Hack for Being More Productive To...

Mel Robbins
About this episode

In this episode, we are talking about the #1 thing you can do to make sure tomorrow is a productive and awesome day.

 

I’m sure you know the importance of a good morning routine.

 

But what you may not know is that a rock-solid morning routine – the kind that kickstarts you and your day for maximum focus and to feel more in control, calm, and like the rockstar that you are… 

 

It doesn’t start where you think. 

 

If you truly want to own your day, you must first own the night before.

 

That’s right. 

 

Hours before you even lay your head on your pillow, your decisions have either set you up for success or they have set you up to fail.

 

Your brain is primed to be the most productive during the first 2-4 hours of the day. That’s why I want you to get serious about how you set yourself up the night before.

 

This episode is packed with research-backed tactics, specific advice, and the four science-backed components of the best evening routine.

 

And this is also one of those tough-love, hit you with the common-sense, friend-to-friend conversations that you know and love from me.
