The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

Overcoming Procrastination: Do the Worst, First
One  of  the  most  effective  strategies  for  overcoming  habitual
procrastination and maximizing your productivity is to start working
on your most important—or least enjoyable—tasks, first thing in the
morning.
In his bestselling book Eat That Frog, the legendary productivity
expert  Brian  Tracy  shows  how  getting  things  done  in  the  morning
leads to mental rewards that can take us to great heights in our lives.
It is the idea that doing the hard task first (“frog eating”) and getting

---

it  out  of  the  way  creates  momentum  and  makes  the  rest  of  the  day
more productive.
The  purpose  of The  Miracle  Morning  is  more  about  waking  up
with  purpose—combining  the  benefits  of  early  rising  and  personal
development—and isn’t so much concerned with which activities you
do,  as  long  as  the  activities  you  choose  are  proactive  and  help  you
improve your inner world (yourself) and your outer world (your life).
In  this  short  chapter  I’ll  give  you  some  ideas  and  strategies  for
how  you  can  design  your Miracle  Morning  and  adjust  it  to  fit  your
lifestyle so it adds value to your life and helps you achieve your most
important  goals.  I’ll  also  include  examples  of  different  real-life
Miracle  Mornings,  designed  by  individuals—from  entrepreneurs  to
stay-at-home moms, to high school and college students—to fit their
unique schedules, priorities and lifestyles.
