Brian Johnson offers coaching-style advice on personal development: imagine your ideal day, identify the highlights of your prior best, and make that prior best your new baseline. He emphasizes doing high-priority actions early to create morning "wins," which raise both highs and lows, reduce drastic drops, and recommends testing the method personally rather than taking it on faith.

Have you ever thought about that? Have you ever actually sat down and said, if I could wave the wand, this is what my ideal day would look like? I've done this an infinite number of times. It's a powerful idea. Think about the absolute highlights of your life. What were you doing and what were you not doing? What addictive behaviors did you get control over at that peak moment in your life? You got to look at your prior best and make that your new baseline. You want to have a hard time having bad days? Do the things you've said are most important before your day really even gets going. Create some WINS in your a.m. when you dial this in, your highs will actually get higher and they'll be more authentic because you know how you created them and your lows will be higher. You will not be able to have the huge drops that you had before. And if you're skeptical, I challenge you don't trust me. Test this stuff out.
