When I open my eyes from sleep, I remember the slogan. 2. Morning devotion: I take a few minutes to go through the process of Pray Subordinately, Gather Subjectively, Focus Objectively, Write Playfully, and Re-wire Decisively . Sometimes this takes five minutes, other times longer as time permits. 3. At 10 AM , I review my Scripture memory and at the same time, I refer to my slogan as well.
