Habit scientist Dr Gina Cleo reveals the top habits of professional property investors. Dr Gina Cleo started out as a dietitian and couldn't get anyone, including herself, to change long-term.

Gina explains why your phone wins every morning (and which room it should charge in), the two circuit breakers for a cortisol-spiked morning, why your day starts the night before, and the sleep protocol her friends laugh at.
