12 Imperatives of Planet Perry - #2

Imperative #2: Start your day right, every day. Mel, Most people start their day by waking up, reaching across to the nightstand, and pulling their phone into their bed. This is the WORST way to start your day. I sleep with my phone charging in the next room. Starting your day with email / social media / text messages / notifications is the absolute #1 worst way to start your day. Now if you want a full treatment on this, sign up for 30 Day Reboot (waiting list at www.perrymarshall.com/reboot/ - we do it a few times a year). But for now let's talk about how you SHOULD start your day. The way you begin your day needs to conform to the following: Doesn't get you REACTING to stuff or solving somebody's so-called crisis until you've had a chance to plant your feet on solid ground Provides space for your clearest and best thoughts from your sleep and ideas in the shower to effortlessly roll Allows you to spiritually center yourself and 'put your armor on' Gives you time to prioritize your day and your week Gives you space to journal, be thankful, read something uplifting and focus on your Most Important Purposes. You cannot shortcut this. I start my day with a shower, a cup of tea and a notebook. I center myself and "put on my spiritual armor" before I leap head-first into the day. And when I do begin my day, I start with the most IMPORTANT thing. Not the most urgent thing. I would not trade this for ANYTHING!!!! Now I will allow for the fact that maybe once every week or two, something urgent may come up. You may get a phone call and have to respond or react before you've had time to do all this. OCCASIONALLY that will be the case. And that's OK. But normally and systemically, most of the time, your day should conform to the SYSTEM you design for starting your day. This is YOUR system. Your life will either run according to your system or somebody else's. If it's not yours it's going to be Facebook's. Or Gmail. Or Instagram. Or the news. (The news is the worst. You do not need the news. NEVER begin your day with news!!!) I call it The Regimen. This is a basic daily practice that pervades Planet Perry and it's quite unique. I don't know of any other group of entrepreneurs who engages with this specific approach. If you really get this, you will never go back. Perry Marshall ***NOTE: This email address isn't monitored!
