How to Create a Morning Routine (and Stick to It Long-Term)

If you want to build some structure into your day, try building a morning routine. In this video, I'll share what's worked for me for both creating one and turning it into a long-lasting habit.

I was in the depths of procrastination and my grades in school got worse, never did any excercise, and this week I just said to myself, you have to change now or you'll never will. Now I managed to get up at 6, run for 20 minutes, have a cold shower and eat breakfast every day this whole week, made a plan and scheduled every part of my day, started reading again, started using habitica, and I'm really so much happier now and it's just been a week. Thanks for all the blog posts/videos, they really gave me the motivation to actually make that choice.

Didn't realize it was Thomas for the first five seconds, no wonder Clark Kent never gets found out--- it's always the glasses

TL;DW
1. Don't snooze
2. Start small + Quantif using an app
3. Water, meditate, cardio exercise and breakfast, leave out email, social media, im etc.
4. Evening Routine

Whoops, looks like my editing program had a rendering hiccup that I didn't catch near the end of the video. If you didn't catch it, basically it just said next week I'll be putting out a video on my exact morning routine :)

Your bedtime routine is a very important step to your morning routine.
Tip 1:
Commit to a regular bedtime every night and make sure you commit to it.
Tip 2:
Prepare everything you need for the morning. Eg: Clothes, Shoes, Bag, Breakfast anything you need to do/find in the morning. So you don't have to rush around looking for your socks....
Tip 3:
Take a notepad/pen ti bed with you. Write down atleast 5 items that want to get done tomorrow.
Prioritize them from1 to 5.
Now circle the first 3 items you wrote and only focus on them for tomorrow.
Tip 4:
Once you are ready to choose your eyes for sleepy time, go on YouTube and choose video from the (subliminal messages) list. I prefer the rain sound. Choose the messaging that will help you for where you are right now and commit to it for 7 straight nights.
This week im focusing on (enjoy working hard).
Tip 5:
As you close your eyes, listening to the subliminal sounds, imagine walking up to the alarm tomorrow morning feeling energetic and ready to go. Imagine getting out of bed straight away (no hitting the sleep button). And visualize yourself going through the morning routine. Imagine yourself getting out of bed, standing up, walking to the coffee machine, going to the bathroom. You get the picture. Visualize yourself doing everything you are going to do. All the way until you leave the house or start working on your goals.
If you do this for atleast 7 days straight, you will be blown away how easy your morning routines will become.

Lmao, the beginning is on point. 🤣 for my morning routine I just write/animate for 2 hours and maybe grab a tea in the middle. Good video tom !

Yes, Midichlorians are good for you, but don't FORCE yourself into consuming it.

I wasn't looking at my phone as the video was loading and I thought the beginning was an ad 😂

[MrRaitachi]

My routine is I wake up at 8 am (at this point I am incapable of reading or doing any cognitive actions) turn off the alarm and go back to sleep. Then I wake up again 1 pm. Usually I don't remember waking up to turn off the alarm.

The beginning is hilarious! I love my mornings quiet, when I have time I meditate for about 10 minutes and watch music videos of my favorite artists. The this you said about social media in the morning is true, you dont want to load your brain with unimportant information and negativity, it will affect the rest of the day

[notofficiallyriver]

Thomas, I'm still doing that bloody cold shower challenge you set us and it's awful!! But I wake up every morning and - very perversely - kind of look forward to proving to myself that I have more discipline than I make myself believe :)

[craighamilton]

so he owns a vegan company and eats so many aminal products! lol . Great video dude!

[parth]

For 2 days now I am watching your videos. I am extracting the most useful techniques, information and tips that will help me build my own learning and study way, so i can start my time at the college with a new style of learning! Thanks for being an awesome mentor. Arigato!

[Nobodydu]

I really love how you're explaining it all simply and nicely, with humour even ! You're sharing your experience, not judging your audience, or pushing it on us. You made me wanna try something different for my morning, but in a very " chill, no pressure, you're doing this for you " way, and that's awesome !

[taylormaclean]

*runs a 150% vegan protein bar bussiness *eats only animal products for breakfast. XD

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm under a lot of stress right now because my high school graduation exams are coming up. I've strayed a lot from my usual morning routine and it's thrown me off my productive balance. Thank you Thomas. :)

PERFECT TIMING. Been planning mine for the past week. Thanks!
