MY CONTEXT: - Start time: [When I start work] - First meeting or commitment: [What time] - Main goal today: [Calls / emails / sequences / all three] - Biggest challenge: [What usually derails my mornings] - Current routine: [What I currently do in the morning] Build a morning routine: 1. PRE-PROSPECTING BLOCK (first 30 mins) - Mindset or energy warm-up - What to review (yesterday's results, today's targets) - How to prioritize today's call list - CRM hygiene check 2. PROSPECTING POWER HOUR (first 60–90 mins of core work) - What to do first (highest-energy tasks) - Call-first or email-first? Why? - How to minimize distractions - What NOT to do in this block 3. MID-MORNING CHECK-IN (after power hour) - What to review - When to pivot vs. stay the course - How to track progress vs. goal 4. DAILY INTENTION FRAMEWORK - One sentence on today's goal - One thing I'll do differently today - One metric I'll track 5. ANTI-ROUTINES TO AVOID - Common SDR morning mistakes - How to spot when you're avoiding prospecting
