Sat in a coworking space in Medellín and noticed something odd about how I spend my mornings

Last month I was at a coworking spot in El Poblado, Medellín, and I realized I start every day checking emails and Slack before I even look out the window. It hit me that I've been doing this for three years since I went remote, and I can't remember a single urgent message that changed my life. Meanwhile, I saw this guy next to me reading a physical book over coffee for a full hour before he opened his laptop. I asked him about it and he said he's been doing that since he started traveling two years ago. It made me think about how much of my "efficiency" is just automatic behavior I never questioned. Has anyone else found a small morning habit that actually shifted how they work and feel during the day?

Is reading a book before work really some kind of profound life hack now?

6,000 people upvoted a thread about reading 10 pages with their morning coffee, so yeah apparently it's a breakthrough concept now. Maybe next week we'll discover you can also drink water before noon.
