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. Before we know it, hours have slipped by
without us accomplishing anything beyond downing a cup of
coffee, dashing off a few emails, and dishing with our
coworkers around the water cooler. 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.
