Day 14 - Order

**Apologies in advance for the jarring cut in today's video!

You have systems, habits—a set of actions and behaviors you’re constantly repeating on autopilot. From time to time it’s worth asking the question: does this routine bring a sense of peace and order? Does it align with your real priorities?

- Create a morning routine and commit to following it for one month. The more consistent it is from day-to-day the better.

- Create an evening routine and commit to following it for one month. The more consistent it is from night-to-night the better.
