Protect Your First 90 Minutes

Breaking news steals focus. Stop chasing urgency, check it twice a day, and let your schedule lead before motivation shows up.

If you want to stay consistent, stop letting breaking news run your day. Build a system instead. Motivation is unreliable. It disappears the second your phone lights up. I learned that the hard way when headlines were eating 2 hours of my workday. Here is what changed everything. I stopped asking what I felt like doing and started asking what was scheduled. And this is where it gets interesting. News feels important because it is urgent, not because it is useful. Check it twice a day. Protect your first 90 minutes. Action creates focus. Waiting for motivation creates excuses. Discipline starts before you care.
