After I brush my teeth, I stumble into the kitchen to have a glass of water and put the kettle on.
Signal one. As the kettle’s boiling, I put two tablespoons of coffee beans in the grinder, and assemble my Aeropress. The morning brew is set. Signal two. I then go to the sofa where my laptop lies. A journal sits on top of it, so I write for a few lines, before switching on my laptop. Signal three. Next, I play either some binaural beats, or some work from Chopin. Signal four. Then I do the work. It starts with writing here. Each signal is a precursor for the next. Each signal primes the brain for what’s to come. These are my short stack of things I do in the morning to fire the brain up. It’s nothing sexy. It’s about 5-7 minutes from start to finish. But it works, and I can do it everyday. That’s what matters. Find your stack of signals. Comments are closed.
