How To: Have a Productive Morning
- Don’t hit the snooze button- Lying around in bed in the morning rarely makes us feel better. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep first and foremost and then get right out of bed when your alarm goes off.
- Workout first thing: This is easily the most effective way to start your day on a productive note. Not only will you get something important out of the way, the surge of energy and positive hormones will set you up for a great day.
- Develop a morning ritual: No matter what your ritual may be, make sure it’s something you look forward to. For some it could be a cup of coffee and a few minutes on the porch before getting ready? For others it could be a quick morning walk. Make sure it’s enjoyable and motivates you to get up and start your day with a positive mentality.
- Eat a protein-rich breakfast: Unless you’re a intermittent-faster, start your day with a filling breakfast. A productive morning doesn’t include hunger pains.
- Make a to-do list and try to accomplish the most daunting thing: Keep your list short and only include things that are absolutely necessary. Try to use the first part of your morning to get the most daunting or important item accomplished.
