Ultimize. Tomorrow morning, before you check your phone, do this. Sit up, put your feet on the floor, and say out loud the 3 most important things you want to accomplish that day. Not 10 things, just 3 things. I realize it sounds cheesy, but just do it. It takes less than 10 seconds and it immediately puts your brain in control. Instead of reaction mode. For example, the first thing you do is grab your phone like a lot of people do, your day's already started based on someone else's priorities. You see a message, then an email, then a headline, and suddenly your attention, boop, it's gone before you even stood up. But if the first thing you do is say your 3 priorities out loud, your brain locks onto those targets before anything else can interrupt you.
