The 10-Minute Morning: How Busy Dads Can Win the Day Before 6 AM

sfdfdsfsdfsd

You have exactly 10 minutes between waking up and chaos. Here’s how to make them count.

You don’t need a two-hour miracle morning. You need a focused 10-minute win that snowballs into better days.

What Can You Really Do in 10 Minutes?

A lot — when you do it with intention.

Try this:

  1. Hydrate – Chug a tall glass of water + your scoop of Morning Drive

  2. Move – 3–5 minutes of squats, push-ups, or mobility

  3. Breathe – 1–2 minutes of deep breathing or quiet focus

  4. Plan – Look at your top 3 priorities for the day

That’s it. Done before the kids are even awake.

The Power of Micro-Routines

When time is tight, consistency beats intensity. The 10-minute morning builds:

  • Momentum – you start your day with a win

  • Clarity – no more frantic, reactive mornings

  • Energy – hydration + movement primes your body and brain

Prepare the Night Before

Success starts the night before:

  • Lay out your clothes

  • Prep your water bottle + shaker

  • Review your schedule so you wake up ready

You’re Not Just a Dad. You’re a Leader.

Leaders don’t snooze. They show up. And that starts with owning your first 10 minutes.

Win the morning. Win the day.
