Why I’m Running Before Sunrise Now
|
Hey, it’s Mark! So, picture this: I’m driving for Uber, wrapping up my morning around 9:30 or 10:00 AM. I glance at the dashboard, and it says 83°... feels like 90°. And I still have to go for my daily run. 😩 Let’s just say the excitement was not bouncing high. Now, you might know that I’ve run at least one mile every single day since August 29, 2017. That’s over 2,800 consecutive days. No excuses. No breaks. Rain, illness, chaos—you name it. But this Houston heat? It doesn’t just drain your energy. It messes with your motivation. That’s when it hit me like a blast of humidity to the face: What if I ran before I drove for Uber instead of after? So here’s what I did—I swapped my 30-minute hallway reading walk for a 30-minute light jog around my double cul-de-sac before sunrise. It’s quiet. No traffic. Still warm, but not sun-blazing hot. And best of all? When I’m done driving, my run is already DONE. I don’t have to dread it. I don’t have to think about it. I’ve already checked the box and built momentum before most people have even had coffee. The Takeaway?👉 Sometimes, productivity isn’t about doing more. That’s clarity in action. 💥 So let me ask you: Is there something in your day that’s better done first, not later? Maybe it’s exercise. Maybe it’s deep work. Maybe it’s that hard conversation or that creative project. You don’t always have to change the what. Sometimes you just need to shift the when.

Your guide to conquering chaos and crushing goals. We all say it. “I’m too busy.” It’s become the adult version of “my dog ate my homework”—a catch-all excuse that feels true… but often hides what’s really going on. Recently, someone told me they were too busy to do something that would’ve taken them less than 30 seconds. (Not work-related. Just a small, daily moment of connection.) That hit me like a brick of burnout. Because let’s be honest: If we’re too busy for 30 seconds of...
