Wow, I love the concept of the No Excuse Hour. It seems basic as a concept, yes I have tried getting the big and important stuff done first in the mornings. For some reason, naming it the NO EXCUSE HOUR hits differently.
1/ The “No Excuse Hour” is the first hour of my day.
No distractions.
It’s one hour of pure focus on the things that have to get done.
No emails, no scrolling, no chatting. It’s just me vs. my top priority. Why?
Because the rest of the day will throw distractions your way.
Get the important stuff done first.
When I get to my desk each morning, before I look at The Internet (email, RSS, social media or news), I spend time reflecting, editing photos, drafting thoughts or hitting publish on something of my own creation.
When I get the urge to go poking around in tabs (which is daily and often), I stop myself and say – sometimes under my breath or out loud, “Don’t give it away.”
And by ‘it’ I mean the moment or my attention.
I’d love to extend this moment by following this up with No Excuse Hour and Top Priority tasks before diving into The Internet!
