How to have a morning routine by songkite

"It's great to know what to do every single morning and don't feel like a robot! It's simple, it's easy and it helps."

How I did it: I've decided that I wanted to have a morning routine last year, I really tried and tried but I just couldn't do it. So I made a list of everything that I needed to do every morning and tried to use that to help me out.
But I just couldn't. I didn't have the energy or the will to do it. This year I decided that I needed to do it and since I was a little bit more relaxed I was able to follow my mourning routine.

Lessons & tips: If you get lost often make a list of everything that you need to do every morning and put it in your bathroom mirror, so when you wake up you will look at it. It's great because you will remember to start your routine and you won't get lost.

Another important thing I made was to try to find the better order to do some stuff. While I wait to my hair too dry I can always wash my face and do some make-up.

Resources: Post-it and imagination.

How I did it: I wrote all I needed to do in the morning and placed it on my bedroom door. After that focus became the key. After a few morning I knew the list by memory and just moved from item to item. Read how I did it…

    I'm going to table this one ... 2 months ago

    mostly because my morning routine is pretty bland at this point and doesn’t have a whole lot of room to change until my work schedule changes.

    If it’s my day to take the kids to the bus, I get up at 6 and we leave the house at 6:50. Otherwise, I get up at 5 and leave by 5:25. I prefer to exercise in the morning, but with this sort of schedule, I’ve moved my exercise routine to the evening.

    Maybe I’ll look up this goal again when the kids graduate high school, or when I get a different job.

    keeping it really simple is making it fairly doable.
    It’s not that I wouldn’t usually get dressed in the morning, but I might try to start into tasks for the day before getting dressed.

    So making sure i get the basics out of the way first is a step forward!
    Haven’t managed the “review goals for the day” part.

    Even this simple routine is much harder the days I work from home, becuase it’s easy to put things off til later – dressing, breakfast… etc.
