Give the first hour of your day to the thing that matters, before the world files its claims. Defend the start; the rest follows.

The thought behind it

This is a mechanism, not a mood — one small repeatable move against an outcome you assumed needed willpower. The TIME thread runs straight through it: an account that only ever withdraws, and never quotes you a rate. Watch what “first” does here. Change it and the sentence becomes comfortable again, which is how you know it matters.
