PS: After typing those I read the question again, @aaronoleary asked only the morning rituals!!!!
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 π₯οΈ and get the day started πͺ
@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.
Nurse baby
Take baby for a walk
Feed baby breakfast
Stretch
Brush my teeth
Start work
If I remember, choosing my top 2 goals of each day is really helpful. This makes me feel like I've accomplished my main objectives of the day.
Ooh if you are curious about other people's morning routines, I would highly recommend this product: https://www.producthunt.com/post.... Hope this helps!
I recently got the 5-minute journal and I'm really happy with it :) I love starting my mornings with a glass of lemon water + my journal. Anyone else journaling here?
I have a weird habit of doing all the work in the morning. I also have my smoothie [breakfast] as I work. I'm curious if there's anyone who had this same habit and then switched to a more mindful morning practice.
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.
1. Pray for 10 min and expressing gratitude
2. Smoothie
3. Meditate for 15 min using Calm
4. Write down my goals and my targets for the day
5. Read a book for 30 min
6. Workout session- 1.30 h
7. Start-up work...
@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
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.
By setting concrete goals for the day. Setting goals specific to the day puts everything into motion. Having concrete goals that can be narrowed down to a few achievable ones that can be broken down into steps correlates with huge increases in confidence and feelings of control.
I like to start the day with a long shower that I treat somewhat like my meditation time. I reflect on the previous day and start planning my current day.
I don't. I'm a night owl so I don't get up until noon and start my work day in the afternoon usually. I cook, workout, chill, and after that I start working. Works perfect for me!
I need to get better at it again. It used to be light breakfast (cereals), walk or gym, sh*t-shower-shave (3S), get dressed, work. Now, with lockdowns, it's bathroom, lay down again for 30 minutes and HootSuite my social media for the day, emails, shower and code/data/business development/strategy, depending on the day.
During lockdown, and after a couple of injuries last year, I found the lack of gym access frustrating at first. I just kept putting on weight. However, that rest did my injuries the world of good and I was then nominated for a 25 press-ups for 25 day challenge and tried to over-achieve on that as much as I could (as press-ups are easy). Some days I'd do 50 straight, some days one armed, some days get 100 to 200 in etc. Did well to lose a few pounds.
I should set those as goals on here. So I keep doing it :-D
The book "Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod is a game changer if you need a winning routine. Been following these steps for years and have never felt better since!
So many inspiring routines. I used to be quite productive in the mornings. Nowadays it's crawling out of bed, opening my PC and preparing coffee in the meantime. I had a serious injury 2 months ago. I can do even basic exercises, won't be able to for a couple more months. That has made me let go of my morning routines. I still do an afternoon walk for 30 mins just to have some sort of activity.
