Let me start this off by saying that you do not have to be a morning person in order to benefit from a morning routine. Does the idea of getting up even earlier freak you out? Maybe we need to clarify the goal of a morning routine first: A routine increases your productivity, you start the day with the feeling that you did already something for yourself, it reduces your stress level and it will increase your satisfaction and your optimism on the long run.
Focused, productive, successful mornings generate focused, productive and successful days – which inevitably create a happier, successful life.
Sounds goof, right? BUT... You still do not want to get up super early every morning? Let me tell you that it is not necessary to spend one hour on a helpful morning routine. You can start from as little as 10 minutes and either stick with it or lengthen the time.
For a wholistic approach try to integrate something from all following categories. If have only little time during the morning you can try to find activities that cover a couple of the categories. Be honest to yourself: How much time do you spend scrolling through social media in the morning? Would it be nice to use half of that time for anything supportive?
