Ask yourself this one question every morning

Ask yourself this one question every morning

I set a daily 7 am appointment in my Google Calendar to pop up and ask: 

What is the most important thing for me to do today?

At this point, I’m not sure where I first saw the question. Maybe Greg McKeown’s Essentialism or Effortless, both of which have been top of mind lately.

It’s an opportunity for me to pause, check in with myself, and identify my priorities each day. Some days it’s work, other times business tasks; but lately, the answer has been simple: ease or rest—not necessarily in that order! Not to say that’s the only thing I would do all day but on those days, slow and steady is the path forward.

Being a caregiver and juggling #allthethings is so hard at times. So I’m thinking through ways to bring more ease into my life. First, of course, taking some time to nail down my values has been a significant step. But then, listening to this a second time was also really helpful.

I realize that I want to get to a point where I have more passive income coming in. Passive means creating something once, and it can continue to bring in money with minimal effort. So I’ve started building my marketplace – free and paid offerings where I can help folks kickstart their side hustling, newsletter, and affiliate marketing journeys. It’s still a work in progress. But I feel optimistic about this direction and looking forward to building on it over the next year.

Baby steps, right? It’s our guiding principle in these parts.

My business doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s, and I can honor the person I am, the time I have to spend, and how I like to work.

So can you. 

It can start with a simple question:

What is the most important thing for me to do today?

And trust the first answer that comes to you.
