Win the Morning, own the Day

"Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Benjamin Franklin already knew that owning the morning helps you win the day. And former General McRaven nailed it with his "Make your Bed" video. I believe that the morning is the most magical time of the day. So this is what I do. Again no cloud tool needed.

Christoph Magnussen is an entrepreneur since high school. After graduating from University of St. Gallen (HSG), he co-founded a mobile phone reCommerce company which grew from 1M to 31M in revenue in less than 5 years. To scale the business, he wouldn’t just add manpower. Instead, he was obsessed with increasing individual productivity through latest online collaboration tools and new work methods.

This new digital setup triggered many requests from fellow entrepreneurs to support them in building the same environment in their companies. This is how the idea for his company Blackboat was born. A tech-focused company designed to help leaders increase team efficiency by leveraging cloud tools and fast communication. Blackboat helps you identify your requirements and choose the cloud solution that suits your needs. Additionally, we will support you in implementing these solutions such as G Suite, Office 365, Bettercloud, FireEye, Slack etc. and build a scalable setup that goes beyond the standard off-the-shelf product from these providers.

Christoph is also a keynote speaker, and he shares his experiences, thoughts, and ideas about Digital Transformation (Digitalisierung, New Work), Team Collaboration, Leading Virtual Teams, #EndOf90iesIT and #futureofwork.

How do you start your days? I've found it varies for a lot of people, some are night owls, some are early risers like me. What do you prefer?

Excellent advise. Having attended a military school and being in the Army, we took the morning to prepare for the day. I think that this is a great post and I find that getting up earlier helps me to conquer the day. I like to walk or run early. It is better than caffeine:). Throughout the day, I am all about walking meetings.

Great video, absolutely agree. I get up at 5:00, followed by three routine tasks and then the three most important tasks of the day. At 9:00 I have a feeling of a successful day.

Where is the video about the sleeping did you mention near the end of the video?

[dmaman]

I have already checked out your sleep-cycle video. Now I am wondering, how you are handling interruption in the night ( for example your kid is crying and you have to stand up)?
Do you just add this minutes to your sleeping time (6h plus interruption) or do you stand up exactly after 6h from the time you went to bed?

How long is your typical morning routine? And do you do sports in the morning/afternoon/evening?

[tomswan]

Where is that video about sleeping tips?

[terrygorry]

If you get up at 4.30 or 5 what time do you go to bed at? I always get up early-sheer habit-but go to bed early too. What time for you?
