Some people snap awake at dawn attacking the day with seemingly unlimited drive and focus. What magical elixir enables them to consistently operate at peak cognitive and creative flow levels you wonder? Are they genetically superior human specimens devoid of normal mortal struggle?

While genetics play some role, the real secret weapon lies not in their biology, but rather in how they intentionally DESIGN each morning’s first moments to enter flow state rapidly.

Through a precise 5-minute “launch sequence” of preparation, they shortcut the long runway to peak mental performance that most waste hours trying to achieve through catchup reaction mode.

Do this simple morning routine first thing and you too can leverage the magical creative surge of early hours instead of squandering them:
