A Morning Routine Won’t Save You

Hey Reader,

Recently, a video went viral on TikTok.
One Hustle Bro was showing off his morning routine.
I’m not sure whether it was his actual morning routine (which I doubt) or if it was just staged.

The full routine displayed in the video took him 5.5 hours.
Five and a half hours.

That’s just insane.

You won’t get anything done by doing his morning routine.

There has been so much chatter about the different morning routines.
Yet nobody asks about the evening routines.

To get a good start in the morning, your evening routine actually matters most.

If you go out drinking and partying in the evening, and you’re back home at 2 in the morning —
you won’t be sober and ready to go at 6.
You will sleep in.
When you get up, you feel hungover.

There is an interesting observation:

For the Jews, the Sabbath doesn’t start in the morning
it starts at 6 p.m.
The evening before.

In Germany, there is also the tradition of the church bells ringing on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. to announce the Sunday.

Our culture today is so focused on living in the moment
that the evenings are the highlight of the day.
Prime-Time TV is always in the evening.

All the talk shows.
All the new movies.

Entertainment lives in the evening.

So it is true what the CEO from Netflix said:

“Netflix isn’t competing with TV. Netflix competes with sleep.”

They need you to keep watching in the evening.

The best thing you can do to gain control over your days
is by setting your evening in control.

We are also watching series and shows in the evening.
But start a few routines as well.

Do not let the shows get the best of us.

🪵 Keep chopping Wood!

  • Strive for Effectiveness, not Efficiency

    Hey Reader, One thing I’ve seen over the last few years in the productivity field is the hunt for efficiency. It is the idea that when you get things done faster—you will automatically get more done. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: The idea of efficiency stems from the industrial revolution. In factories, it mattered to get more done faster. Thus, the overall productivity rose. The machine could produce more products in less time. When I first got introduced to productivity, I fell in…

  • Strive for Excellence not Perfection

    Strive for Excellence not Perfection How often do we freeze up and can’t go forward, because something we have created isn’t good enough – isn’t perfect? Way too often. I have spent so many hours trying to perfect something. Our goal is often completion, or perfection. Reaching the 100%. It seems like it is always escaping us. I want to challenge the idea of perfection. We should strive for excellence. Doing something not for 100% perfection, but rather to a 90% excellence. Perfection keeps…

  • Better Offer

    Better Offer The most important thing to improve is: Your offer. This is the foundation of your business. There is no way around that. If you don’t have an offer or you have a bad offer – nobody will buy. Nobody will talk with you. It’s like you’re trying to sell old fish. It smells so bad that nobody is willing to get close to you. No matter how much Marketing you do, word about your bad fish will spread. No matter how much you have optimized in your business or even automated. If your offer…

  • The $1 Billion Business You Would Never Sell?

    Hey Reader, In a recent podcast that I listened to, they were chatting about the perfect business. A lot of people advise to build a business you could sell later. It is with the idea to personally get so much money out of the exit that you would never need to work again in your life. When I talk to my clients, they always say that they don’t mind to work. It is the other way around. They want to show their work. What a good work ethic looks like. In the podcast, the host asked: “What if I…

  • Don’t Wait Until You Feel Ready

    “Well, I’m not ready.”How often do I hear this from others?How often do I think it myself? Too often. The truth is: You will never feel ready. The more you learn,the more you figure out what else there is to learn. Even when I feel like I have something figured out —the world changes and I have to start over again. Every time I used to start over,I’d get faster because I got better. I also know: Everybody else needs to start over too. There’s this constant battle inside: “Just start” sounds…

  • Working with Constraints

    Working with Constraints Everybody has constraints. We usually try to ignore them. We try to show all the good things and advantages we have. But we don’t want to share limitations we have. Constraints are a powerful opportunity once you use them right. There is a saying that goes something like this: “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.” The opportunities we have right now seem endless. You think you can conquer the world. Once reality hits, you realize – that you’re still…
