Do THIS Every Morning to Improve Your Focus, Mood, and Productivity

In this episode of Kwik Brain, host Jim Kwik sits down with Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning, to discuss how the first few minutes of your day shape your focus, mood, and productivity. They explore the science of sleep inertia and attentional priming, and why reaching for your phone first thing trains your brain for distraction. Kwik also shares insights from his new book Limitless Daily, including the power of five-minute daily habits and the BUILD method for using AI without surrendering your own thinking.
