Overcoming Adversity

Productivity and Success
Raymond shares his morning routine as a key to his productivity and success. He wakes up early, hydrates, and starts working immediately. This routine allows him to get ahead of the day, assigning tasks and sending out messages before others start their day. He also incorporates exercise and time for listening to podcasts or news into his routine, which he views as his meditation time.
