Most of the time, before we even get out of bed, we already make a mental list of the things we need to do and want to do.  But, how in the world can you get it all done.  How can you balance work, family and your own life goals with all the things on the to do list.

Laura Vanderkam, author of the series “What the Most Successful People Do,” has researched it and put it all in a book entitled, What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: A Short Guide to Making Over Your Mornings — and Life (affiliate link).

I listened to the audio version of this book and I was so inspired when she started to paint a picture of what a great morning can look like.

Before I knew it, I was looking in my purse for my sketchbook (yes, I carry a mini-sketchbook with me at all times!) and drawing out what I was hearing.  Hope it inspires you.

Enjoy… this could be your typical morning!
