Product Description

Product Description

Mornings are a madcap time for many of us. We wake up in a haze—often after hitting snooze a few times. Then we rush around to get ready and out the door so we can officially start the day. Before we know it, hours have slipped by without us accomplishing anything beyond downing a cup of coffee, dashing off a few emails, and dishing with our coworkers around the water cooler. By the time the workday wraps up, we’re so exhausted and defeated that any motivation to accomplish something in the evening has vanished.

But according to time management expert Laura Vanderkam, mornings hold the key to taking control of our schedules. If we use them wisely, we can build habits that will allow us to lead happier, more productive lives.

Drawing on real-life anecdotes and scientific research that shows why the early hours of the day are so important, Vanderkam reveals how successful people use mornings to help them accomplish things that are often impossible to take care of later in the day. While many of us are still in bed, these folks are scoring daily victories to improve their health, careers, and personal lives without sacrificing their sanity. For instance, former PepsiCo chairman and CEO Steve Reinemund would rise at 5:00 a.m., run four miles, pray, and eat breakfast with his family before heading to work to run a Fortune 500 company.

What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast is a fun, practical guide that will inspire you to rethink your morning routine and jump-start your life before the day has even begun.

As per title. Short and to the point but no less simple and insightful - useable stuff if a little "motherhood and Apple pie".

3.0 out of 5 stars Very short 25 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this because I am a big believer in the slight edge and so enjoy picking up personal development books when I can. I read this in a morning on my way to work (figures) because it was so easy to digest. It mainly repeats what we all know - get up and do some exercise whilst there is little distraction! I will give it another read but don't bother if you don't have children (seems as this is the example of the main distraction stopping you from being successful)...!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tips 20 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is good, it has some good tips, and what it explains makes sense. Also ver quick to read, funniest thing is I actually read it in the morning before breakfast. It's stuff that people may already know, but it brings it back to your attention of how much tone we waste doing bugger all or non important things. I think it worth reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why did I buy it?
What a waste of time! I never finished it. I barely started it. The introduction had two themes: pray in the morning, exercise in the morning. Read more

Some good ideas to transform one's life. Not all suggestions will be feasible, but then, the author suggests many examples, choose what suits you. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely agree
Interesting read, but as someone who already gets up early and uses the time before breakfast wisely, I didn't find anything new really. Glad it wasn't an expensive book

5.0 out of 5 stars Morning runs eh?!
Looks like I no longer have an excuse for not exercising when I get in from work and feeling tired...do it first when I wake then the day is still ahead. Here's to trying!

If I had spent more on this book, I would have been disappointed. But given the low price, I got what I paid for: an easy to read book, that told me what I already knew, and... Read more
