Conscious choices under pressure
The first 30 minutes of your day shape 85% of how you make decisions until 5 pm. Today you learn why — and what to practically do about it.
Progress in module
Research from Stanford shows that the neurochemical state you wake up in determines 85% of how you make decisions until 5 pm. Your morning is not a 'soft' topic — it's your hardest lever at the daily level.
For 7 days: no phone in the first hour. Put it physically in another room before bed. Replace it with: water, movement, and one sentence on paper.

Finished module 4 — first resistance, then a breakthrough. The morning trigger really works. The first 5 days felt artificial (phone in another room, coffee without check-ins) but yesterday I caught myself in a quiet moment at 7:42. That was new.
How do you combine this method with intermittent fasting? I can't make it work. My morning trigger lands best with a quiet coffee + journaling, but by 9:00 my focus is already gone. Anyone with a similar protocol?
