Episode notes
Run A 5–10 Minute Morning Audit
- Do a short daily morning audit recording screen time, sleep, workouts, steps, and media into your planner to keep habits visible.
- Sarah times this at 5–10 minutes and logs items into Hobonichi Weeks and Cousin pages for quick habit tracking.
Use Morning Pages To Clear Your Head
- Try morning pages as a daily 15-minute brain dump to clear mental clutter and surface pep talks or rants.
- Sarah uses a Midori Hibino notebook, times the session, misses occasionally, and doesn't keep the pages long-term.
Decide By How You Argue With Yourself
- Use Laura Vanderkam's framework: if you want something but are talking yourself out for logistical reasons, say yes; if you feel you should do something and must talk yourself into it, say no.
- Sarah applied it to a tricky acapella trip invite and found it nudges her toward more meaningful yeses.
