Monday Productivity Hacks | 5-Minute Rule: Don't be a Zombie

Warning: Mondays are coming for you. Are you ready?

Here's the deal. Every morning, for the first 5 minutes, do not. I repeat, DO NOT:

• Check your phone.
• Check your email.
• Check social media.
• Check your fridge.
• Check for zombies.

That's right, no phone, no email, no scrolling, no fridge raid. Just you, yourself, and a cup of coffee. In those 5 minutes, you'll be amazed at how much more focused you can be. Trust us.

Why 5 minutes?

5 minutes is the sweet spot. Any less and it's too short. Any more and it's too long. It's like the Goldilocks of productivity hacks.

Side effects may include:

A sense of calmness, a dash of focus, and a pinch of productivity. Prolonged exposure to these effects may lead to:

• A sense of accomplishment.
• A feeling of control.
• A slight reduction in zombie-like behavior.
• A moderate increase in coffee consumption.
• A higher chance of actual human interaction.
