“White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism” 
by Robin DiAngelo
(published June 2018) The New York Times best-selling book explores the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. Antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine).

But art can be an intimidating, even overwhelming, subject, especially without a good foundation on which to base your views.

The morning routine helps us set the tone for the day, better allowing us to control our schedules rather than our schedule controlling us. As we start each day fresh, we can better focus on what is in front of us, where to prioritize our time, and, ultimately, increase our productivity.

The morning routine: performing a daily ritual of half an hour to an hour to become hyper-productive in life, day in and day out. It might seem too good to be true. But it’s no coincidence that there is one thing that the most successful members of the Earth have in common. All of them have their own morning ritual that gives them a head start.
