A Morning Routine Won’t Save You

ByJowi Witt

Recently, a video went viral on TikTok.
One Hustle Bro was showing off his morning routine.
I’m not sure whether it was his actual morning routine (which I doubt) or if it was just staged.


The full routine displayed in the video took him 5.5 hours.
​Five and a half hours.


That’s just insane.



You won’t get anything done by doing his morning routine.


There has been so much chatter about the different morning routines.
Yet nobody asks about the evening routines.


To get a good start in the morning, your evening routine actually matters most.


If you go out drinking and partying in the evening, and you’re back home at 2 in the morning —
you won’t be sober and ready to go at 6.
You will sleep in.
When you get up, you feel hungover.


There is an interesting observation:



For the Jews, the Sabbath doesn’t start in the morning —
​it starts at 6 p.m.​
The evening before.


In Germany, there is also the tradition of the church bells ringing on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. to announce the Sunday.


Our culture today is so focused on living in the moment​
that the evenings are the highlight of the day.
​Prime-Time TV is always in the evening.


All the talk shows.
All the new movies.



Entertainment lives in the evening.


So it is true what the CEO from Netflix said:



“Netflix isn’t competing with TV. Netflix competes with sleep.”


They need you to keep watching in the evening.


The best thing you can do to gain control over your days
is by setting your evening in control.


We are also watching series and shows in the evening.​
But start a few routines as well.



Do not let the shows get the best of us.

    Hey Reader, Last fall, I was pretty stressed. There were so many things I didn’t get done. I pushed hard. I was in hustle mode. I started daily newsletters as well as daily videos. I was pushing so hard—it felt like I was lifting the rock of my business by hand. Trying to walk up the stairs. With the hustle mode mindset,it felt like every step I took, I was falling one step behind. I couldn’t keep it up. So—I stopped. I stopped writing a newsletter. Stopped posting to YouTube.

  • We’ve got productivity backwards

    ByJowi Witt

    The core idea behind productivity is well-meaning. It is to make our work more productive. That we are able to produce more. I think the core driver is to do a job better. We want to achieve bigger things and so we constantly seek to improve — from riding a horse to driving a carriage to driving a car is an improvement in speed and comfort. The driving question is to improve what we are doing. A farmer does a job better when he can produce more bushels per acre – more tons per hectare. A…

    Hey Reader, Just because you won something doesn’t mean that it was a good decision to participate. Sometimes in life, it feels like we were just lucky—that we were in the right place at the right time. We observe this in the lives of others as well. Some people around you just seem like they got lucky, were gifted. When we are starting a business, it feels daunting. It feels like we have to be lucky. The more years I spend in the entrepreneurial world, the more I see two components to…

The last 5 years I fully committed to the craft. The reality is: starting a business is hard work. I have not been part of the community for a while. It took me a long…

  • Why More Leads Might Hurt You

    I see this all over the internet. People talk about needing more leads, or more new clients. My DMs are full with outreach offering me more leads. The reality is that most think they need more leads, when in reality they don’t have a good enough offer. Focus to help one person better, more and effective. Then you will have something to offer that is power. Take that out into the world and you’ll see:suddenly leads become easier. More leads doesn’t automatically grow your business. When you…
