There’s something special about the environment you wake up in. Every morning, there are new things to notice, little wonders to appreciate. As I prepare my coffee, I’m reminded how these small routines shape the rest of my day.
My morning starts with water—two glasses, right after getting up. It’s a simple act, but it makes a real difference. About ten or fifteen minutes later, I’ll have my coffee. Usually, I wait two hours before that first cup, but today, I needed both water and coffee together. Sometimes, you just have to listen to what your body tells you.
If you’re curious why it’s better not to drink coffee immediately after waking up, I talk about this in my book. There are good reasons to wait, and it’s worth understanding the science behind it.
Back to my morning: after a splash of water on my face, I feel more awake. It’s a trick I recommend to anyone. When you wake up groggy, especially if you’ve interrupted deep sleep, a bit of cold water can clear your mind. It’s often the simplest tips that work best.
As I sip my coffee, I watch the train go by outside. There’s something calming about seeing people heading to work, everyone starting their day in their own way. I grab my favorite cushion and settle in. I like these big, soft cushions and minimalist stools—they make the space feel just right.

I spend my mornings working on small projects, often editing videos for my YouTube channel. Editing isn’t glamorous. In fact, most people don’t enjoy it, myself included. It’s not the fun part of creating content, but it’s necessary. If you’ve ever edited a video, you know it can be tedious—cutting, replaying, trimming again. It’s like seeing behind the scenes, and it’s rarely as exciting as it looks.
Sometimes, I lose my work—like when my computer shuts down and erases a video title I just wrote. It’s frustrating, but you just start again. I often wish there was an AI tool that could edit videos exactly the way I want. If you know of one, let me know in the comments. It would save so much time and energy.
The truth is, I love creating content, but not the editing. The same goes for writing books—I enjoy writing, but not the layout or cover design. Most writers feel this way. We’re good at the core work, not the packaging. That’s why it makes sense to hire someone who’s skilled at those tasks. Everyone has their strengths, and it’s better to focus on what you do best.
But let’s be honest: sometimes we procrastinate finding the right person to help. We put off delegating, even when it would make our lives easier.
In the end, what matters is that the work gets done and that it’s effective. My goal is always to create videos that get straight to the point. Efficiency is key—no wasted time, no unnecessary steps.
