For a long time, my mornings felt rushed — no matter what I did. Even on days when I woke up early, I still felt like I was behind. I’d move quickly from one thing to the next, trying to keep up, but it never felt like enough. By the time I started work, I already felt mentally drained. At first, I thought the problem was time. But after paying closer attention, I realized something else was causing it. Once I fixed that, my mornings started to feel completely different.
