“Front-loading your day” means tackling your most important, demanding, or high-value tasks early—usually in the morning—when your energy, focus, and willpower are at their peak.
Here’s how to do it effectively:
1. Identify your top priorities.
Choose 1–3 key tasks that will make the biggest impact on your goals.
2. Do those tasks first.
Before checking email, meetings, or smaller errands, devote your first block of time (often 1–3 hours) to these priorities.
3. Protect that time.
Schedule it on your calendar like an appointment; no interruptions, calls, or social media.
4. Use energy wisely.
Save routine or administrative work for later in the day when focus dips.
5. Create a morning ritual.
A short routine—like exercise, planning, or journaling—helps you mentally “boot up” for focused work.
