Beyond bids – what’s inspiring us
This month we’ve been thinking about morning routines.
Some of our team have been fully fledged members of the 5am Club for a few years now. Inspired by Robin Sharma’s self-help book they’ve been getting up early and following the “20/20/20 Formula,” spending the first hour of the day with three 20-minute sessions covering exercise, reflection (journaling/meditation), and learning.
Not all of us are early birds, but there is inspiration everywhere when it comes to morning routines.

Whatever your morning routine, as the 5am club book says ‘own your morning’ and ‘do what fits you best and feels right to you’.
