The A.M. Time Is Mine
- Using the Monk Mode Morning Routine, the A.M. time (the time we wake up till noon) is simply spent on doing something deep and meaningful, like writing a book, Yoga, or reading good books.
- There is no inconsistency in this life hack, and a four to six-hour progress can be made every day in whatever is valuable to us.
- With the rising ‘flexible work’ routines where most work is done at home using various digital devices, the Monk Mode is picking up great speed.
