No doubt you have big plans for 2017. Whether you have fitness objectives, career aspirations, or personal goals, all planning can be improved by a strong morning routine. Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning wrote, “It’s been said that the first hour is the rudder of the day. If I’m lazy or haphazard in my actions during the first hour after I wake up, I tend to have a fairly lazy and unfocused day. But if I strive to make that first hour optimally productive, the rest of the day tends to follow suit.”
