Do you ever wonder how some people are so successful? We all have the same 24 hours in a day. How does so many people accomplish more than others. It’s no accident and start with these 5 simple tips to help you conquer every day like a super hero and seize every day.

1. Prepare for your day, the night before

This is one of the most influential things you can do to set you up for success the next day. Start by making a short “To-Do List” of 5-10 things you plan to accomplish for the next day. Next, schedule time to accomplish these tasks. Why schedule it? If you don’t take the time pencil it in to your schedule or calendar on your phone, the odds are against you that procrastination will kick in or something will come up and it will be pushed to the end of the day after work, time with the family, or even forgotten.

2. Get At Least 7 Hours of Sleep

The rest of this blog post is worthless if you don’t make sleep a priority. Who cares if you wake up at 4 A.M. if you went to bed three hours earlier?

You won’t last very long!

You may use stimulants to compensate, but that isn’t sustainable. In the long-run, your health will fall apart. The goal needs to be long-term sustainability.

Getting a healthy amount of sleep is linked to the following:

• Increased memory
• Longer life
• Decreased inflammation
• Increased creativity
• Increased attention and focus
• Decreased fat and increased muscle mass with exercise
• Lower stress
• Decreased dependence on stimulants like caffeine
• Decreased risk of getting into accidents
• Decreased risk of depression

And tons more… Seriously! Google it.

3. Don’t Skip Breakfast

I’m sure you’ve heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet either skip it or eat a small bite before running out the door to head to work. This is a big mistake. When you wake up in the morning, your blood sugar levels are at rock bottom. You’re body has been burning calories while you were sleeping for at least 7-9 hours. This means your tank is on empty and your brain is running on fumes at best. It’s important to fill up the tank, before you start your day to give your brain and body the fuel it needs to get the pistons firing on all cylinders.

4. Get Your Workout in Before You Go To Work

If you want to be among the healthy, happy, productive, and successful people in the world, get in the habit of regular exercise in the morning before excuses and life get in the way. Exercise has been found to decrease your chance of depression, anxiety, and stress. It is also related to higher success in your career. Whatever your preference, get your body moving. If you don’t put your health first, every other aspect of your life will suffer as a consequence.

5. Consume More Protein

Tim Ferriss, in his book, The 4-Hour Body, also recommends 30 grams of  protein 30 minutes after waking up.

Protein-rich foods keep you full longer than other foods because they take longer to leave the stomach. Also, protein keeps blood-sugar levels steady, which prevents spikes in hunger.

Eating protein first decreases your cravings for white carbohydrates. These are the types of carbohydrates that includes bagels, toast, and donuts.

For people who avoid dairy, meat, and eggs, there are several plant-based proteins. Legumes, greens, nuts, and seeds all are rich in protein.
