Part 2/7:
To maximize this hour, Sharma advises a 20-20-20 routine that breaks down the time into three segments of focused activity:
- First 20 Minutes: Move
Engage in some form of physical activity to increase your heart rate. Whether it’s a quick cardio workout, yoga, or weight lifting, the idea is to wake your body and mind by inducing a state of mindfulness and alertness.
- Second 20 Minutes: Reflect
This segment encourages journaling or meditation, allowing you to clear your mind and set intentions for the day. Reflecting on what needs to be accomplished fosters clarity and focus.
- Final 20 Minutes: Learn
Spend this time on personal development—reading a book, listening to a podcast, or studying a topic of interest. This fosters continuous growth and keeps your brain engaged.
