Jim Kwik breaks down his 4 C's for structuring your day: Creative work in the morning, Consuming information early afternoon, Connecting with people later, and Clearing your mind at night. He argues consistency in habits beats intensity, and that journaling helps offload thoughts so your brain can focus.
I'm designing my day around 4 C's where maybe in the morning you're creative, in the afternoon you're consuming, later in the afternoon you're connecting, and then finally you're clearing. You're journaling and planning your day for the— you're getting stuff outta your head, right? So there's different ways you could approach your morning routine. I don't think you have to follow everyone's rule and get up at 4:00 AM and run a marathon before work. It's about finding activities that really resonate with you and customizing something that works for you. Remember, it's really consistency over intensity.
