Oh, a morning routine! It's my favorite part of the day and something I'm oddly passionate about!

Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I'm extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

After I wake up, I:

  1. Head to the restroom

  2. Sluggishly make my bed

  3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

  4. feed the cats

  5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

  6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

Fantastic.... I need a routine too otherwise I forget stuff... But it seems like your step 1. coincides with mine

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do as well. It's a lot of work, but at this point, it comes naturally.

If you're looking to bolster any routine: my unsolicited advice is to add stuff to your routine slowly over time. One thing at a time. If you jump into a whole new routine, you'll burn out and abandon it. It definitely takes some building and patience.

I'm terrible in the morning, my brain really doesn't start working until around 10 am and after coffee..... So the day before I strategically place things that I don't want to forget, in places where I won't miss them.. Of course the things related to regular routine have to be kept in the same place at all times
