At the Inc 5000 conference in San Antonio, Texas, I sat down with Mel Robbins, award-winning CNN commentator and best-selling author of Stop Saying You’re Fine, and The 5 Second Rule. We talked about how that little button could be dominating your morning productivity. Close to 65 percent of adults hit the snooze button, Robbins said. And based on our 75 minute block sleep cycles, each time we hit the snooze button, we put ourselves back into that groggy state. When we finally throw off the sheets, it takes our body longer, sometimes four hours, to actually wake up and reach prime functioning. https://www.facebook.com/techcomedia/videos/10153961719736778/ How you wake up and spend the first 30 minutes of the morning could determine the productivity of your day. It starts by getting up, waking up, and being present when it comes to your actions, Robbins explained. During those first 30 minutes, looking at your phone right away is probably the worst thing to do for your business. Instead of reviewing a priority list of what you need to do to build your business, you’re filling your brain up with emails, employee requests, and Facebook posts before you’ve had time to figure out a game plan, Robbins continued. When it comes to getting what you want out of life and business, Mel Robbins said you need to look inward. As you grow your business, it’s important to celebrate those mini milestones, but as Robbins will tell you – it’s what happens after the champagne that determines success.
