The Rise of the Monk Mode Morning

Copy this system I use to achieve more in 90 days than most people achieve in a year. It’s ridiculously simple!


The execution of the monk mode morning is straightforward:

Between when you wake up and noon: no meetings, no calls, no texts, no email, no Slack, no Internet. You instead work deeply on something (or some things) that matter.

What makes this hack particularly effective is its simple regularity.

If someone wants to schedule something with you, it becomes reflexive to respond “anytime after noon.”

Similarly, your colleagues soon learn not to expect you to see something they send until after lunch.

There’s no guesswork or inconsistency: everyone’s on the same page, and you make 3 to 4 hours of deep progress on valuable goals, every day.

Awsome idea/framework.

I will definitely implement it.

My goal requires Internet. How to handle distraction?
