Why Coffee Stops Working By Mid-Morning

7 Good Minutes

Show Notes

Today's Extra turns the morning energy problem into one specific move you can use tomorrow, before your first cup has even finished brewing.

It's called the First-Light Lap: a few minutes of real light, light movement, and a glass of water, stacked into the time you're already standing around waiting on the pot. Nothing new to schedule, nothing to buy, and it still counts even on a morning where you only manage one piece of it.
