Module 4 — The morning trigger

Mark V.·12 minCommunity memberReflection

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?

@Sara H. Good question. I go deeper on this in episode 12 of the podcast — short version: separate the physical trigger (eating/not eating) from the mental one (autopilot/attention). The morning trigger works independent of what you eat or don't eat. Try shifting your trigger for 3 days to AFTER your first meal instead of before it.

First time in 3 years waking up without my phone. Don't underestimate this. Awake at 7:00, just lay there for 15 minutes, coffee, a block of writing. Phone only at 8:20. The rest of the day felt different.

Module 7 hit me. Going to put those 3 questions on a sticker at my desk. 'Is this a choice or a reaction?' works best for me — I caught myself with that question three times today.
