Morning rituals matter more than we think.

Morning rituals matter more than we think.

Mine is making two cappuccinos first thing in the morning and sitting down to drink them with my wife every day.

It’s a small thing, but it anchors the start of my day. When we skip it, the whole morning feels a little off.

Companies need rituals too.

Daily standups.
Weekly huddles.
L10s.
Quarterly planning.
Town halls.

Over time, those meetings create the rhythm people work around.

They’re where priorities get reinforced, problems surface, decisions get made, and culture gets repeated.

A company’s rituals eventually become part of how the company operates.

And when you remove one that’s been there for years, people feel it.

What rituals have become staples in your company?
