Your brain is freshest in the morning. Don’t waste it opening tabs or clicking around.
Build a morning keyboard routine instead.
Sample Flow:
- Control + Tab, C → Calendar
- Control + Tab, N → Daily Notion dashboard
- Control + Tab, T → Task manager (Things, Todoist)
- Control + Tab, E → Email inbox
- Control + Tab, F → Focus or Pomodoro timer
Bonus: Add Personal Apps
Include:
- Meditation or journaling
- Music
- Weather widget
Final Thought
Your morning shouldn’t start with the mouse. Start with intention—and a few smart shortcuts.
