Sherlocking Mindset Tip:

Well begun is half done.

To make the best use of one’s day, one needs to have an optimum mindset from the very start. But we often wake with the fear of future, uncertainty.

Our work ethic is mostly driven by the ‘Fear of Failure’ which is harmful to both our psychological and physical well being.

For the longest time, even I fell in the trap of believing that you’ve to start ‘hustling’ right after waking up, which just left me exhausted by mid day, and boosted the inherent existential anxiety by a lot.

And that’s when I started experimenting with ‘Morning Routines’. I realised it through a lot of trial and error that the ‘Simplest’ of the routines, are the easiest to follow, and should have minimum will power requirement.

Here’s my suggestion to you, try it out and let me how it makes you feel.

Start your day with Music, and use it as an opportunity to move around, dance so to say. It will have dual benefits of a physical warmup as well as reaping the therapeutic benefits of music and dance together.

Additionally you will get over the morning existential dread and start looking forward to a sustainable day.

Will keep adding more blocks for a sustainable existence moving forward. Wishes!
