Every day I struggle with these points. Entrepreneurship is hard. It requires consistent discipline, and confidence in yourself. Lots of people won’t enjoy it. But for those determined few who can find a way to make the groundwork, entrepreneurship is the most rewarding job, lifestyle, and identity in the world.

1. Create a Routine

Every morning and night I do the same thing. Wake up, wash face/brush teeth, meditate (best when you’re still a bit dreamy), bodyweight exercise, eat my breakfast burrito from Sunday’s meal prep. Every evening I have a separate routine involving hygiene, journalling, and preparing for tomorrow.

This helps keep me grounded and consistent.

The best entrepreneurs build daily, weekly and monthly routines like mine grounded in keeping themselves sane, productive, and happy. Entrepreneurship is stressful and you’ll find stable routines become your bedrock on which you structure your life.

2. Start with the days hardest task

Known as “Eating the Frog”, this means when you’re freshest early in the day start with your most frustrating, grueling, or procrastination inducing task.

This has a range of benefits.

It makes every other task seem easier by comparison.
It immediately gives you the dopamine rush of accomplishing something worthwhile.
It prevents you from procrastinating on important tasks for too long.

I’m happy you're reading this article, but the second you’ve finished reading go eat the frog. The rest of your day will seem like a breeze by comparison.

3. Workout and Meditate

I struggle with this one myself. Routines are easy to follow when life is easy. But the second I’m traveling, or anxious or stress out about something, or I’m just busy. I ditch my morning routine to try and create time or space for myself, sometimes entirely by accident.

Which as I’m sure you’ve guessed just makes things worse. I become irritable, feel sluggish, my mind foggier and I end up being less productive overall even with the “extra” time.

Don’t make excuses. Fitness and mental calm are crucial for a happy lifestyle. They’re the building blocks of productivity not just for days, weeks, or months. But years and decades. I want to be a vibrant member of my community well into my old age, and putting in that little bit of effort daily towards your health is how you get there. Find some activity, sport, or practice that works for you and make it habitual by keeping yourself accountable.

4. Plan tomorrow, today

As part of my night routine, I make a list of my tasks for tomorrow and plan how different meetings, appointments, and so on will all be chained together. This lets me pack my bag, thaw my meal prep, and overall get ready for tomorrow when I’m awake and alert. So when I wake up and I’m groggy and tired I don’t have to worry about it.

Give this a shot tonight, you’ll find it takes way less time than you thought. That it gives you some understanding about tomorrow you didn’t have before (including what your frog to eat is), and it helps you catch things you may have missed (meetings you forgot about, etc.
