Every day I struggle with these points. Entrepreneurship is hard. It requires consistent discipline, and confidence in yourself. Lots of people won’t enjoy it. But for those determined few who can find a way to make the grind work, entrepreneurship is the most rewarding job, lifestyle and identity in the world.
1. Create a Routine
Every morning and night I do the same thing. Wake up, wash face/brush teeth, meditate (best when you’re still a bit dreamy), bodyweight exercise, eat my breakfast burrito from Sunday’s meal prep. Every evening I have a separate routine involving hygiene, journalling, and preparing for tomorrow.
This helps keep me grounded and consistent.
The best entrepreneurs build daily, weekly and monthly routines like mine grounded in keeping themselves sane, productive and happy. Entrepreneurship is stressful and you’ll find stable routines become your bedrock on which you structure your life.
2. Start with the days hardest task
Known as “Eating the Frog”, this means when you’re freshest early in the day start with your most frustrating, grueling or procrastination inducing task.

This has a range of benefits.
It makes every other task seem easier by comparison.
It immediately gives you the dopamine rush of accomplishing something worthwhile.
It prevents you from procrastinating on important tasks for too long.
I’m happy your reading this article, but the second you’ve finished reading go eat the frog. The rest of your day will seem like a breeze by comparison.
3. Workout and Meditate
I struggle with this one myself. Routines are easy to follow when life is easy. But the second I’m travelling, or anxious or stress out about something, or I’m just busy. I ditch my morning routine to try and create time or space for myself, sometimes entirely by accident.
Which as I’m sure you’ve guessed just makes things worse. I become irritable, feel sluggish, my minds foggier and I end up being less productive overall even with the “extra” time.
Don’t make excuses. Fitness and mental calm are crucial for a happy lifestyle. They’re the building blocks of productivity not just for days, weeks or months. But years and decades. I want to be a vibrant member of my community well into my old age, and putting in that little bit of effort daily towards your health is how you get there. Find some activity, sport, or practice that works for you and make it habitual by keeping yourself accountable.
