MASTERING YOUR PERSONAL SPEED

Measuring your speed is the only way to improve. Here’s how to audit your morning for maximum efficiency:

1. Time Each Segment

Find out your speed by timing each task
Use apps to track your progress daily
Identify the exact points where you’re losing time
Whether you’re a student or professional, numbers don’t lie

2. Optimize Your Path

Look at the physical layout of your morning
If clothes are in one room and shoes in another, you’re losing seconds
Centralize your gear to save precious time and effort
Create efficient zones for each morning task

3. Audit the Quality

Track whether your fast routine actually works
If you’re ready on time with everything you need → Success
If you keep forgetting items → Review your checklist
Continue refining until you reach perfection
