Felicia Spahr (Twitter: ) www.feliciaspahr.com One of the core reasons for lack of productivity and time
management is a lack of caring about oneself. You hear from a lot of top execs
and entrepreneurs about all the demands on their time, all of the things they have
to do...it's 'busy, busy, busy'. You will be hard pressed to find someone who
demands time with themselves -- yet this is what THE most successful people
do. And a way to get started is prioritizing time for yourself. You don't have to
meditate or have a morning ritual -- the idea is to carve out time to do something
you love, sit and think for 10 minutes, and make that time non-negotiable.
Because if you don't, no one else will, either.

Josh and Jill Stanton (Twitter: @screwthe9tofive) www.ScrewTheNineToFive.com We always begin our day with what we like to
call our "Wake Up and Break Up" morning routine. We wake up at 6:45, drink a
litre of water to wake us up (sometimes a tea if we're feeling dangerous) and
then go our separate ways for the next 90 minutes. We use that alone time for
quiet visualization and exercise. This is our time to gather our thoughts, set
our intentions for the day and set our day off on the right foot. Once that's
over we meet back up and toast the day with one of Josh's famous green
smoothies. Ever since we started implementing the Wake Up and Break Up our
productivity has gone through the roof, we've gained loads of clarity and we've
built serious momentum in our business. Everyone needs a little Wake Up and
Break Up throughout their morning!
