I happen to be listening to this book also this week. I really like the concept about reducing the friction and the story about Japanese factory that increased productivity by removing the unnecessary activities. Thank you for your genuine work. If i had to choose only one yt channel to watch, definitely it'll be yours.

I kindly request that you consider creating a vlog that captures your entire day, sir. Thank you for sharing this video; your effort is truly valued.

When I was in college, I had a mentor who was in his early fifties. Incidentally, the age I am now.

He used to refer to his daily routine as his productive rut.

Even at that age, I saw the wisdom in it and I have always maintained a productive rut of my own.

Prep is so critical. It saves so much time and streamlines your entire day. You just crossed my mind and I got a notification a few minutes later. Love the format. I know it takes a ton of time to make these.

[yussofross]

Mad respect for you, bro. In these modern times, it's easy to get distracted by social media or emails and eventually derailed into a constant spiral of negative thoughts and unproductivity.

Being in the corporate world for 30+ years and still a tad too young to retire, I love watching these vicariously, but I don't work for myself nor have this amount of time or control. I'm up at 6am. Taking care of the dogs, a workout, shower, and coffee is always rushed. I work from home but it is stressful and isolated. Having a wall of video meetings does not compensate for being in my home office for 9-10 hrs/day. We used to be an in-office corporation. Now we aren't. Boundaries no longer exist. People abuse calendars. I'm just counting down my last 4-5 yrs.

Imo, this was the best morning routine video I watched. It's well put together, the quality is good, and it has a lot of great golden nuggets. Love this channel. Thanks for sharing!

Great video Brian! I think you highlighted how there are so many decisions/obstacles are in the way to a great start in the morning. I've gotten in to a morning habit recently too, everything's definitely easier with pre-planning! - Han

Always appreciate a new video from you. I used to have difficulty in the mornings, but having an earlier job (I start at 5am) has helped me develop a morning. Though I don’t have wake up as early on weekends, I’ve noticed I feel a lot more productive when I wake up early. Thanks, Brian!

[Incredibux]

Awesome video. It's been two weeks since I started waking up at 5am and I can honestly say, it is life-changing. Since my son was born, I barely thought about myself, now that he's around 9 months old, I've taken more notice of myself and one of the biggest changes I've made is waking up at 5am, I do very similar things to yourself and I also hit the gym, do my workout, shower, breakfast and then I'm ready for work.

I'm on a transformation, not just physically, but also mentally, to make myself stronger. As I said, it's been two weeks, 6.8 pounds down and a lot more to go.

Best of luck, Brian. Always love watching your videos!

Apologies if this is a duplicated question. What sort of lighter is that you have? Really neat looking. Would love to track one down for my husband. Love your videos.

[jailenrjones]

I don’t know you personally, but I cant help but be proud of you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to care for yourself. I have a very similar morning routine, except I wake up at 6:30a . I may have to adjust it to 5am! I look forward to implementing some of the tips you provided. Thanks for sharing.

[glo_me]

Awesome and very doable routine!

Thank you for sharing it and inspiring most of us; I really appreciate it 😊

I will try emulating some areas of that same routine (adapted to my own lifestyle, of course). I am buying the book too (Atomic Habits), and hope I can have it read within a few weeks.

I was already missing the videos by the way. Hope all goals and projects are going smoothly.

Enjoy your day and don’t even take the time to read those negative comments from other people; people always throw rocks to the trees bearing fruits, so it is understandable they will criticize those who have the courage to do what they decide not to do or what they can’t do.

[ArtfulThinking.]

I love this, Brian. Thank you for sharing. I think that having time to one's self in the morning, without distraction from the outside world is so important. I like your application of Atomic Habits in your practical formulation of this. It is something to strive for.

[kitcarturboprinz]

Very nice Video, Brain! For me it isn't about taking over your way completely, but rather getting some inspiration and having a few things I'm already doing kind of confirmed.

[darylmuller]

The vlog style of this video is fantastic and a great addition to your content formats. Hope we get more of these.

[davidmcnicol]

A beautiful start to your day. I always have done the brekkie-prep-thing the night before and love it. Best way to start the day! Then I light a Trudon candle and read the Bible by candlelight. (It works for me!!!😊)

[icantgivecredit]

I definitely want to try this. However, one of my fears is that a whole 4 hours of focusing on my pre-work routine will have made me feel tired by the time I'm ready to do actual work. I feel as though that's more than enough time that I would need to focus on myself. I might instead budget an hour for the morning and an hour to take a walk. Beyond that, it seems it would become tiring after a while - or that I might begin procrastinating.

[erickmorales]

Thank you so much for this content. Im starting to apply a few tips since today.

[johnsuzy]

Great video! After I retired, I lost a lot of daily structure. Now, that I’m regaining it again, my day seems much more satisfying.😎👍🏻
