What Is One Key To Crushing It At Work?

The routine will be specific to each person, but Chase tries to meditate, take an ice bath and eat healthy foods. He also spends time being quiet, and visualizing his day.

Chase says it's also key to not be doing things from your day, during this special time. For example, no checking email. This time belongs to you, and you alone.
