Morning Routine For Productivity - How I Start My Mornings (animated)

Today I will share with you my morning routine, which works wonders at keeping me productive. It might not work as well for you, as it does for me, since we have different goals and different schedules. However you might get some ideas which you could implement and tweak in your own routine.

The part where he mentions that not everyday goes exactly the same. I love that he is honest and is not acting like a perfectionist, which is difficult to be. Another reason to love his videos

Hi!!! I am trying to get my sh** together and your videos are helping a lot. I love the way you explain with simplicity and clarity and the animations. It is so clear and easy to understand and nice to watch! Thank you so much!

I write my to do list the night before, so when I wake up my schedule for the day is ready.

[dreamingitaliano]

When I wake up I take a deep breath, I smile and think about all the great things in my life. I don't leave any bad thought come into my mind, because I want to start the day with positive mental energy. Then I jump out of bed and I drink my proteins. I take the dog for a walk and then I train for at least 15 mins (every day). I take a shower and then I start my job. Last year I read "The Compound Effect" book and this helped me to change something to achieve a better life and to improve my job.

A great habit to add is a yesterday night habit. These habits make your mornings even more pleasant. For example: always make sure your sink is empty and clean before you go to sleep. This eliminates incentives to bugs and gives you a clean working space for the morning's breakfast or lack thereof. If you enjoy washing dishes, do not leave them dirty over night but instead looking forward to your lunch washing routine. Just like you fill your water cup every night similarly there are routines for the night which can give you a head start. Pack your bags, choose your clothing for the next day and set them aside, and even write a todo list for the next day. This all takes less than 15-20 minutes.

It's really a great routine. I tried a routine for 10 days and it's really very productive, unfortunately I couldn't able to be consistent. But again I'm trying to restart the same routine. My daily routine is.
1.Waking up (5 AM), adjust my bed sheet.
2.Brushing
3.Exercise for 20 minutes minimum
4.Bath
5.Start doing the hardest work in the first 2 hours.
6.Breakfast
7.Again start doing the 2nd hardest work in the next 4 hours.
8.taking 1 hour break for lunch.
9.Again start doing the minimal important things for 2 hours.
10.Taking 1 hour break for entertainment.
11.Again restarting the least important work for 1 hour.
12.Having Dinner
13.Doing 1 hour work and 1 hour for planning to next day tasks, progress, self talk.
14.Ready for Sleeping (9:30 PM)
15.Sleeping (around 10 PM)

All this did in 24 hours only, productive hours are around 8 hours excluding breaks for every 25 minutes. I follow pomodoro technique. for every 3 promodoros, I will take 10 minutes long break. for 2 hours 25 minutes break. 95 minutes productive. It is really very effective, I tried my best to follow the same consistently but I broke it one time then it became worst routine again. So, again I'm trying to restart the same. I could able to achieve doing exercise everyday as a routine, now this is my 2nd goal. If we can do anything for 21 days, it will become our habit. I strongly believe it after my first success. I even didn't believe that I can make exercise as my daily routine in this life 😊😊😊 Definitely I should thank this channel and some other channels which helped me a lot to set these kind of goals and getting more confident in life and being more productive and being better than yesterday😊

Loved those words: " It doesn't matter if I miss a day as long as I'm generally sticking to it (routine)". Thanks for sharing your nice morning routine ❤

[mackenziest.laurence]

The very first thing I do when I open my eyes is to say thank you for another of life.

[cangumeobeo]

The last bit is really useful, whenever I missed my morning ritual, I feel very upset, it reduces my performance a lot during the day which made me feel even more upset at the end of the day. I like your idea of saying someday we might not have the control over ourself but as long as we are consistent with it, then we're all good, it's the nature of life anyway, we should embrace it.

[RachelSarahThomas]

I do almost the exact same thing. I like to add in a writing session. Oftentimes what I write is what I call wwwd. What worked? What didn't? Where I review the events that transpired the day before and decide what I want to change today/ what changes need to be made in general to get the results I want.

I listen to ur videos while mopping the floor everyday in the morning

[jhowmusic_]

I'm always changing my routine but it's currently like this:

- breakfast
- washing the dishes / house chores
- read
- practice a little of an instrument I play (guitar or keyboard)
- do small work tasks (I'm a music producer) or some quick study
- start the most difficult task / which takes the longest and if possible finish it before lunch. If you don't finish, I'll continue after lunch.
- lunch
- More tasks that don't require as much effort
- running, jumping rope or some kind of exercise (at least 3x a week)
- Shower
- rest a little
- dinner
- Spend time with family
- study

After that it's time to have some fun, play a video game, watch something on Netflix or Youtube and get ready for bed. 1 or 2 hours before bed I no longer use my cell phone. I wake up around 9 am and go to sleep at most 1 am.
Sometimes before doing the exercises I like to take a power nap or meditate.

Water is important after waking up. It nudges the sleepy cells in the body with an easy calming start.
Thank you for this video. Awesome habits.

[TAHJBecomeYourBestSelf]

I love your channel, keep up the fantastic work. You're really setting a standard for similar self help channels, even mine.

[Mahcia]

Very helping ! Thanks !

I myself found out that, even though meditation during the middle of the day is a good break, it is more important that it is part of my morning routine, since it puts me in a good mood prior to interacting with other people. And/or before sleeping as well, since it helps me to relax and fall asleep faster.

[brjicrf]

My morning routine:

Alarm rings.
I close it.
I sleep again.

[sebastianmaker]

I always have to eat breakfast in the morning, otherwise I'm starving during work and I can't focus. Especially since I'm on my feet all day, I need to eat. It's usually rice, some kind of soup, a protein (eggs or fish usually, but sometimes I'll have beef instead), and a vegetable or two. Ever since I started eating like this, I feel much more awake but not overly full.

[SRNR_PODCAST.]

Yaa it's really true, my today is better than yesterday.
