Are you also doing it?

What decisions are you making in the first moments after waking while your brain is moving from the sleep cycle into the cortisol awakening response?

This 20-30 minute transition is a highly sensitive cognitive window that quietly shapes your focus, and decision quality for the rest of the day.

TIP: Choose one deliberate action right after opening your eyes - an intention or even a meaningful decision - to train your brain for clarity and sharpen your leadership 🟧

TIP 2: Be brave enough to introduce a consistent prediction error 🟪

Instead of immediately reaching for your phone, coffee, or the outside world, bring one pending decision into your mind.

Create a moment of clean readiness.

Shift from urgency to quiet courage.

Notice the effectiveness when you don’t sabotage your own decision-making.
