The plan

1. 🪑
   6:00-6:05 AM

   Sit. Phone away. Open your lighthouse choice. One sentence.
2. 📋
   6:05-6:10 AM

   List today's top 3 planned tasks. Just three.
3. 🔎
   6:10-6:15 AM

   For each: does it serve the lighthouse? Yes / no / sideways.
4. ✂️
   6:15-6:20 AM

   Cross out the ones that don't. They wait.
5. 🎯
   6:20-6:25 AM

   Pick the ONE task that most moves the lighthouse.
6. ▶️
   6:25-6:30 AM

   Schedule it first. Before email, before feed.
7. 🚫
   6:30-6:35 AM

   Name one thing you'll say no to today. Write it.
8. 🌟
   6:35-6:40 AM

   Say the lighthouse aloud. Close. Day starts.
