The New Daily Power Hour

Morning Ritual will now be more important, as the power hour is being incorporated into it to make use of the drive to work as the meditation time.

This will cause me to start work immediately upon arrival, so I fit "normal person" protocol and this prevents me from spending extra time that I dont have:

  1. There will be a greater sense of urgency to complete the morning ritual and power hour in timely fashion, as every minute after the 6am leave time will cost me more time in traffic and hurt the meditation.
  2. I won't be able to relax when I get to work and end up taking much longer to complete the power hour just because "that's how long it took me to get going".
  3. I will naturally encounter a more flowing meditation as I will need to focus on driving as I meditate, so there's less of the "crazy manufacturing and grip upon it" issue that I've become concerned it limiting me.
  4. Since Schwitters took the closet, any alternative strategy would be weird and harder, so this allows me to gain instead of lose, which are my two current choices.

So moving forward, my morning looks like this:

4:30 - 5:30 or 5:45: Morning Ritual
5:30 - 5:45 or 5:45 - 6:00): Power hour
5:45 or 6:00: 5 min breathing med + Leave for work (and everything med while you drive.)

This can allow me to be more disciplined as well.  For instance, I can say 6:00 is the cut off, and in worst case, 6:10 is a HARD CUT-OFF of any power hour activities - so if I slack in the morning, that means no power hour.    MUST be meditating by 6:10, no exceptions.

In this way, discipline leads directly to motivation.  The frame becomes more and more important.
