In this episode from the Hello Monday archives, Jessi sits down with writer Dan Pink for a conversation about getting more out of our very first hours of the day. Featuring the morning routines of some of Hello Monday's earliest guests, this episode illustrates the three different kinds of people: the larks, better known as morning people, the night owls, and the third birds. Dan shares his advice for managing your morning, whichever kind of bird you are, and shares some takeaways for better productivity for all of us.
