Mine is Simple Habit. I keep my phone on DND and airplane mode when I sleep and then turn on wi-fi so I can meditate before anything else. What's the first app you open on your phone in the morning?

Usually iMessage to send a morning message to my fiancé, as she leaves for work early in the morning while I'm still 😴

WhatsApp - I have a distributed family and have to catch up on all the overnight banter that I may have missed

Instagram. I'm trying to change this though. If I'm being good, I turn my alarm off and don't check anything online until after I'm done running through my morning routine. Then I can scroll through what I want while I eat breakfast. It's a work in progress for sure and sometimes I wonder if it would be easier if I got an alarm clock instead of using the one on my phone.

@jessica_tedrick I turned off all social notifications and I find it makes it easier to not check it! Side effect is that I miss all the DM's!

I check the apps I have made. Blocksurvey.org and Cryptoally.io to see if they are working fine. Its a routine manual health check.

60% of the time my daily devotion & journaling, the other 40% social media, emails, text...whomp whomp lol.... I've recently started putting my phone on DND / airplane mode during the work day...game changer!!

Mine is the Stocks app because I'm financially irresponsible and enjoy trading equities around significant geopolitical events πŸ˜… It's a terrible habit because literally the first thing I see is usually a bright red box telling me how much money I've lost.

First of all would be a quick glance at the notifications center and see if something stands out 🚨 Otherwise, the weather app.
Abadesi
@cayetanogil ah yes the Weather app! I check that, too

@ryzalyusoff hello πŸ‘‹ I see a green plant on your profile so it got me thinking πŸ€” How would you like to earn from CBD without having to come in contact with the actual product while dealing?

@kavirkaycee wow I'm the opposite! I try to avoid opening WhatsApp for as long as possible πŸ˜…
Kavir Kaycee
@abadesi Haha, how long does it last usually? WhatsApp is also direct people-to-people connect, so it makes sense to want to know what's happening there.
Abadesi
@kavirkaycee If i'm lucky I can hold out until 11am or almost lunch time - I always prefer to reserve my mornings for the most urgent/important/difficult work tasks on my list. Its when my brain is most efficient after resting from sleep!

@kesara lots of folks saying email... how do you manage to not get stressed first thing in the morning? πŸ˜…
Abadesi
@kesara like newsletters? I need more delightful emails in my life!

I open my ForbesCapital wallet and blockchain wallet app first thing every morning to keep an eye on my earnings πŸ™‚
Sarah Loertscher
My alarm! 😴 but then iMessage. And then email or Slack. Although @abadesi I like your strategy!
Dason Goh
Email definitely.
Abadesi
@dasongoh and that doesn't stress you out?

Email πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

@dima_grossman wow Email is really popular and I'm shocked haha. I try to put off reading emails until I've at least had a cup of tea.
