How do you normally start your mornings?

byβ€’
Morning routines are super important at least for me anyway. I typically start mine with a coffee and 30 mins offline so reading a book normally.

Go for a quick walk. If you're like me and kinda new to the whole working from home thing, it has transformed my day and relationship to my workspace. I've found that it ticks a lot of boxes for me: 1) Wakes me up with immediate purpose. 2) Fresh air is really underrated - especially in the morning! 3) Gets my heart pumping and body in motion. 4) Helps to reinforce my work / life balance. Once you're done, grab a coffee β˜•, sit at your desk πŸ–₯️ and get the day started πŸ’ͺ

@nathansvirsky Yeah walks are great, especially like them during the colder weather, brisk air wakes you up better than any coffee

@aaronoleary I live in London. Can confirm cold weather does help! πŸ˜†

@nathansvirsky This is a great idea. Might have to try it tomorrow. πŸ™‚
Aaron O'Leary
@nathansvirsky Haha, living in Ireland so I'm right there with you! :D
Lauren McNeely
@nathansvirsky Totally agree - getting outside and doing something active is a game changer, especially these days! Nothing helps clear your head like a good walk, run, or hike.

I usally wake up at 7:00, I will start my mornings with my plants around my home because watching green is very good for our eyes. - 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM Check my Todolist of the day in Taskord - https://taskord.com and add some todos - 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM Turn on Spotify and start working on my product the Taskord itself πŸ˜… and some office works - 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM Mostly office works - 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM Some exercise - 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM Concentrate more on my side projects and family time - 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM Netflix / Youtube and Sleep This my daily routine πŸ˜…! PS: After typing those I read the question again, @aaronoleary asked only the morning rituals!!!!
Aaron O'Leary

@damir_pervan I like the praying part. Not very religious myself but have found it to be quite meditative.
Marisa Harrington
@damir_pervan I love the praying aspect as well! I have a daily devotional book that I read every morning which gets me off to a great start. It immediately begins my day with gratitude
Damir Pervan
@marisa_harrington that's awesome
Theresa Little
My morning starts with exercise, coffee, and a smile :) I think that it is the most important part of a day so trying to spend it with positive.
Aaron O'Leary
@theresalittle Aw, a smile can do so much to start your day off right! Love this
Ashley Hamilton
@theresalittle I love how you try to start your day being positive! This literally can change your whole day!

I follow the Miracle Morning routine (book). 1. Meditation 2. Affirmations 3. Visualization 4. Reading something new 5. Yoga 6. Journaling Each takes about 5-10 mins. The whole point is to have a productive, quiet morning before starting to work. This is because the way you feel in the morning is how you're going to feel for the rest of your day. My days aren't always quiet, but they sure are productive.
Ashley Hamilton
@sharon_cohen2 Love this! I'm going to try it this week
Sharon Cohen
@ashley_hamilton1 go for it! I also know that you can get the Miracle Morning ebook for free on Amazon. It will change your life!

5:45 Wake up before the alarm because the cat is being a jerk and picking at the furniture. 6:00 Tell myself I'm actually going to get up early this time but snooze until 7. 7:00 Drag myself out of bed and go walk the dog. 8:00 Make coffee and breakfast. Read news headlines, skim emails and sort into categories based on if/when I need to reply. Laugh about silly memes with my partner. 8:30 Shower, dress, etc. 9:00 Work Nothing special, nothing motivational, but it's the pattern I keep falling into.

Now that the kids are in school, 7 - 9:30 AM is spent getting them ready and driving them to school. It's been hard because I'm a night person and tend to stay up until 1 or 2 AM on some nights. In reality, I need to go to bed much sooner and wake up earlier. My most recent routine is to spend my 15 minute drive home to think about the work ahead of me, solve some problems, think about strategies for my startup. Other than that - coffee. Tried tea but went back to coffee.

1) Wake my 10yo up and remind him that, yes, it's a school day 2) Head over to the home office and say good morning to my wife (she's up at 0530 every day for meetings on East Coast time) 3) Let the dog out and feed him 4) Make coffee 5) Find and write a daily inspiring quote on our kitchen whiteboard (I really need one of these: https://www.oatfoundry.com/split...) 6) Get son out the door to school 7) Open laptop in location du jour and begin first meeting at 0730

@sdsurfer Love this idea of picking a new quote to focus on everyday! Will have to try!
