With so many people working from home nowadays it’s even more important to create a productive morning routine. If you’re not used to working from home or being your own boss it can be so easy to get off track and be unproductive.
We’re sharing out best tips to help you create your perfect morning routine.
What’s the Best Morning Routine?
The best morning routine doesn’t look the same for everyone. Just like ideal eating habits don’t look the same for each person. If you want to create a morning routine that works great for you, be prepared for a little trial and error.
We swear it will be worth the time and effort though!
Benefits of Having a Morning Routine
- Provides consistency and normality to your morning, no matter what else the day may bring
- Reduces stress by being on auto pilot in the morning. If you do something so many times, you won’t have to think about it. Let your mind be at ease for at least part of the day
- You will free up more time in the morning by getting quicker the more you do the same tasks. Also, as you go, you’ll also find out which order works best for certain things
- Built-in self care every day. Make sure part of your morning routine gives back to you mentally, physically, or both! Some people even incorporate a morning yoga routine or morning stretch routine into their daily morning ritual. Personally, I prefer a morning workout routine
My Morning Routine
First, I typically wake up to Loki (my 10 month old golden retriever puppy) wagging his tail so hard that it could be used as a weapon. I let the pups out, and then I start to make myself a pre-workout drink and get ready for the gym.
After the gym, I shower and change into comfy clothes (yay for working from home), and then I make myself a bulletproof coffee. Then I load up the pups, and take them to the dog park where I’ll enjoy my coffee while they wear themselves out.
After the dog park, I normally make myself a protein shake or or have a protein bar (or a protein-heavy big breakfast if I know it’s going to be a busy day). Then I check emails and write a to-do list in my planner for the most important things I need to tackle that day.
I typically have lists with tiers of work to finish, divided by importance or due dates. If I have too many things on my list, I tend to get overwhelmed quickly, so making lists based on priorities helps.
To be honest, I used to try and write in my 5 Minute Journal and check my blood ketones and glucose every morning while the sauna was heating up, but that has gone to the wayside.
It didn’t make me happy and I didn’t feel like I was gaining anything from it. I sort-of dreaded it and then eventually stopped doing it. Instead I do the sauna in the late afternoon once I’m done with work for the day. I can’t do it in the evening or I won’t be able to sleep.
The biggest things that I’ve found bring joy to me and I do them every day are enjoying a nice bulletproof coffee and playing with the pups. If I do these things every morning, I feel like I’m set up for success.
