Peter Sorgenfrei shares three morning habits: calendar every commitment, write three priorities the night before, and meditate with an intention that matches your day's demands. A structured routine builds mental clarity whether you're facing meetings or solo work.

I'm clearly a morning person, and often I'm asked, how can you start the day well? And even if you're not a morning person, here are a couple of ideas. Number one, for me, everything is in the calendar, which means I don't have to worry about what I'm doing, where I'm going, what's going on next. I can just check the calendar before I go to bed, and then it's pretty clear to me that there's a handle on the day ahead. Number 2 is I write down 3 things the night before that I need to get done the next day. So I basically park and say, instead of all these to-dos and all these things that I could be doing, here are the 3 things that I need to be doing. And then in the morning when I wake up, for me, it's meditation and it's setting an intention for the day. Is it going to be a day of a lot of meetings and a lot of interactions? The intention is to try and be calm and relaxed doing that. And if it's going to be a day just by myself, It's about being productive or doing other things that's good for me.
