What is your morning routine?

Question

For me, having a morning routine is extremly important and it sets my mood for the entire day.

It isn't overwhelming in the sense that it's really cramped up with a lot of different things that I have to do, it's more just actions I do in specific order that does the job for me.

Here it is:

1. Wake up 5am every day.
2. Stand up immidiately after the alarm goes off.
3. Wash my face.
4. Brush my teeth.
5. Apply moisturizer and SPF cream.
6. Drink a glass of water with lemon and salt.
7. Get dressed.

By 5.20 I'm either already working or doing some form of excersise or reading.

Important! DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR PHONE FOR THE FIRST 1 HOUR OF THE DAY.

It's not overcomplicated and it gets the job done.

Can't wait to see what your morning routines look like :)

My morning routine is quite prolonged, but gives me a sense of accomplishment and energy to work till late eve:

➜ Wake up early (6:30)
➜ Quick exercise & stretching
➜ 15 min walk outside
➜ Cold shower
➜ Set a goal for the day
➜ Breakfast & and a cup of coffee
➜ Reading a few articles on specific topics
➜ 10-min meditation on focus as a first mini-break

Really like the don’t look at phone for the 1st hour part. It’s meaningful to stay refreshed and focused in the morning. 
Me: get up at 8, wash and dress, from 830 spend 30min planning out the day, breakfast at 9 and reading news at the same time. Start working at 930

I have a 2-month old! She wakes up anywhere 5-7am. If I'm not up already, I get up and we kick it for an hour or two until either mom gets up or I need to hop on the desk.

Your routine sounds solid! I’ve found that starting my day with a quick workout and a healthy breakfast sets me up for success. I agree on not checking my phone—keeps me focused!

Answer

I see the value in your routine, but I struggle with waking up so early. Maybe I’d adapt it to start with a later wake-up and add some mindfulness or planning time. It’s interesting to see different approaches!

What time do you go to bed at night? I sleep for nine hours a day and still feel like it's not enough, haha 😅💤

Answer

I love how simple and effective your routine is! I keep it even more basic—wake up, stretch, drink water, and then dive into work. It’s all about finding what works for me without the fuss.

David Grunwald · Answer

I usually start with a coffee, then catch up on emails and plan my day.

Answer

Absolutely, a solid morning routine is key! Mine is pretty similar: 1) Wake up without snoozing 2) Hydrate with a big glass of water 3) 10-15 min meditation 4) Quick bodyweight workout or yoga 5) Shower 6) Healthy breakfast 7) Review calendar and to-dos for the day. I find avoiding my phone first thing makes a huge difference in starting the day with intention and focus. The specifics aren't as important as just having a consistent routine that works for you and sets a positive tone for the day ahead.

Answer

I start my day with yoga. Keeps me active all the day.

Anthony · Answer

My morning routine is structured to start the day productively and positively. I typically begin with a brief meditation to clear my mind and set intentions for the day. After that, I do some light exercise or stretching to wake up my body. Breakfast is next, usually something healthy to fuel my energy. I then review my to-do list and prioritize tasks before diving into work. This routine helps me stay focused and energized throughout the day.
