Do you swear by a morning routine? Each day start differently? What helps you create momentum in the morning and stay consistent, and productive?

My mornings start slow and include a walk with my dogs.

@kris_keppeler Nice! What do you feel walking does for you? How does it help set you up for a great day?

@jefffajans Gives me freedom to think and it's relaxing to enjoy the scenery and be entertained by my dogs.

@kris_keppeler That's nice. Starting day with openness and freedom (and positive emotions) is a great way to do it!

@sylvia_sheng gotta start with coffee. That's the lead domino for sure :) What do you cover in your morning meeting? Same each day or different structure?

@jefffajans We review our project and tell the team what we done yesterday to make sure everybody knows where exactly we are in the roadmap.

-Pray -Recite Quran - Workout - Coffee - Start working at 7 What about you Jeff? Do you have one?
Jeff Fajans
@mahir_mahdi Love the self-care and spirituality focus. Strong motivational, inspirational setup. For me, it looks like this: - Coffee & Greens Drink - Spend time with my 4.5 year old son, Hendrix (make him breakfast, play with him, talk w him, help him get ready for pre-k, etc) - feed dogs - review my calendar and priorities for the day - and first steps with priority work sessions (which I typically set night before) - then either myself or wife will take son to school - When get back jump into Priority 1 work for the day Simple morning routine - I find other routines and habits throughout the day help me stay focused and effective

Morning routines are a game-changer! I've adopted the '5am club' lifestyle and it's incredible how much you can achieve before the world wakes up. My routine includes journaling, reading, and a brisk walk. It's all about finding what resonates with you!
Jeff Fajans
@barryzheng568 Love it! Definitely agree about finding something you actually find energizing and enjoy. Don't force it.

💪 workout 🌟 setting intentions and put the to-do list IN the calendar ☕ coffee with my friend Juan at 8h30 🚀 And let's go! Works every time!
Jeff Fajans
@lisa_steingold1 Love it! Translating tasks into actual time blocks on the calendar is SO helpful and effective.

My morning routine is very very elaborate lol I swear by it, and I think its helped me a lot especially on the mental health front! Reading + meditating are def my favourite aspects of it❤️
Jeff Fajans
@annie_chopra You gotta share more! We'd love to see how elaborate it is (if you're open to it) :) I'm intrigued!
Annie Chopra
@jefffajans definitely! So I start my day making some bulletproof coffee (coconut oil + cinnamon in black coffee) and while thats prepping I make a turmeric drink and this is my fav its called the rich b**** juice and while i drink it and stir it I usually do my affirmations. Once my coffee is ready I do my meditation depending on how early i wake up it can be between 5 to 20 minutes long! And then i read a couple of books while i drink my coffee. These are in the following categories “autobiography, business learning, mindset, and productivity” all of it is usually just an hour long and when i get into working i am so energised and full of awesome new ideas 🙌🏼
Jeff Fajans
@annie_chopra Love this! Thanks for sharing. I do bulletproof coffee and a greens (with tumeric as part of the mix) too. This sounds very energizing indeed!
Jeff Fajans
@claudia_lyons Is that how you like them to be? Or do you wish they were faster?
