Okay, listen… I’ve decided I am NOT building a five-hour morning routine. I’m not climbing a mountain before breakfast. I’m not journaling my entire life plan at 6:00 AM.

All I’m doing is giving myself 15 quiet minutes with coffee and a tiny to-do list so my brain doesn’t launch straight into panic mode. And honestly? It’s helping.

Like, I literally write down three things. Sometimes it’s “laundry, emails, shower.” Nothing glamorous. But at least I know what I’m doing instead of wandering around overwhelmed.

I just sit there like:
Okay, self… what are we actually capable of today?

It feels doable. It feels calm. It feels grown-up in a fun way.

Tell me, what’s ONE thing you’re putting on your list today?
