Jocko has more interesting morsels of wisdom than this, of course, but it's funny how this small change impacted my life so much as he said it would. Once you have the willpower victory of getting up immediately (no snoozing bullshit) and then the willpower victory of making your bed, it's not a stretch to also do 50 pushups, make a healthy breakfast, clean the kitchen, go for your morning run, avoid HN while you start work, and then carry that momentum into the rest of the day.
