Book description
Laura Vanderkam, the author of 168 Hours, provides a A fun,
practical guide that will inspire you to rethink your morning routine
in What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast.
Mornings are a madcap time for many of us. We wake up in a
haze-often after hitting snooze a few times. Then we rush around to
get ready and out the door so we can officially start the day. By the
time the workday wraps up, we're so exhausted and defeated that any
motivation to accomplish something in the evening has vanished.
But according to time management expert Laura Vanderkam, mornings
hold the key to taking control of our schedules. If we use them
wisely, we can build habits that will allow us to lead happier, more
productive lives.
Drawing on real-life anecdotes and scientific research that shows
why the early hours of the day are so important, Vanderkam reveals how
successful people use mornings to help them accomplish things that are
often impossible to take care of later in the day. While many of us
are still in bed, these folks are scoring daily victories to improve
their health, careers, and personal lives without sacrificing their
sanity. For instance, former PepsiCo chairman and CEO Steve Reinemund
would rise at 5:00 a. m., run four miles, pray, and eat breakfast with
his family before heading to work to run a Fortune 500 company.
What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast is a fun,
practical guide that will inspire you to rethink your morning routine
and jump-start your life before the day has even begun.
