@sylvia_sheng Solid. thanks for sharing more. Do you find that everyone agrees on what the next most important steps are each morning?
@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.
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!
My morning start with my dog buddy
morning routine starts with god prayer it helps to make a day beautiful
@jessica_herman2 lovely! Same prayer each day or change it up?
lukewarm water with honey 🍯 & cinnamon 🍵
@shikha_singh15 Yum!

-Pray
-Recite Quran
- Workout
- Coffee

What about you Jeff? Do you have one?
@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!
@barryzheng568 Love it! Definitely agree about finding something you actually find energizing and enjoy. Don't force it.

🌟 setting intentions and put the to-do list IN the calendar

Works every time!
@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❤️
@annie_chopra You gotta share more! We'd love to see how elaborate it is (if you're open to it)
:)
I'm intrigued!
@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 🙌🏼
@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!
My mornings start slow
@claudia_lyons Is that how you like them to be? Or do you wish they were faster?
Mine alway start with gratitude, prayer and meditation.
Meditate, a bit of stretching and start working
