A Clear Start Routine for Overloaded Workdays

marzo 25, 2026 · By Hernan Heredia · 1 min read Daily Practice

When a workday feels too full, the best first step is usually smaller than you think.

The Clear Start routine

  1. Name the next task in one sentence.
  2. Remove one source of friction.
  3. Set a ten-minute start window.
  4. Decide what ?started? means.
  5. Stop after ten minutes and choose whether to continue.

This routine is not about forcing motivation. It is about making the beginning easier to find.
