5 Steps to Morning Progress - Jocko Style…

Discipline equals freedom.

When the rest of the world is hitting snooze, you’re already gaining ground. The “5 Steps to Morning Progress” is for the dad who’s got no time, no excuses — just a hunger to get better. Every damn day.

Whether you're pushing through sleep deprivation, juggling morning chaos, or just trying to reset, this guide hits you with what matters:

🥱 1. WAKE UP EARLY

Get ahead of your excuses. 30 minutes before the world demands you. No scroll. No drama. Just wake up with purpose.

“The enemy of progress is comfort. Get uncomfortable.”

💪 2. MOVE

10 pushups. 10 squats. 10 breaths. That’s it. Just move. Build energy before chaos begins. If your kid’s crawling on your back? Good. That’s extra weight.

📓 3. MENTAL LOCK-IN

3 mins. Pen to paper. Or just breathe. No hacks. Just clarity. Write down:

• One win from yesterday

• One thing you’ll conquer today

• One thing you're grateful for

👨‍👧 4. CONNECT

Look your kid in the eye. Say something that matters. No background noise. One small connection before life pulls you apart.

🧱 5. OWN ONE THING

Pick one task you refuse to skip today. That phone call. That workout. That budget. Do it. Build trust in yourself.
