My copywriter has a daily ritual that she swears by and doesn’t let anything stand in the way of her doing it.
She gets up pretty early, does some business development for two hours, and then does 30 minutes of exercise. It can be yoga, a HIIT class, some cardio, whatever.
And THEN she’s good to work.
Nothing gets in her way. Not deadlines. Not last-minute jobs. Not money. NOTHING. (And she loves money. She loves it a lot.)
I’ll bet you if I emailed her at 6am and said, “Hey, I need this done in two hours,” she’d be like “Erin, have you gone lost your damn mind? You know that is never going to happen.” (Obviously I would never do that to any of my team, but you know what I’m saying.)
She is committed to that routine as a toddler is to creating a chaos of toys in your house.
And here’s why:
It’s her ritual. It’s her time to regroup and reconnect with her business and herself so that she can do her best work for the rest of the day.
It centers her.
It calms her.
It helps her breathe.
The benefits are many.
