The Importance of Starting a Morning Routine
Having a morning routine is crucial for productivity and success. It doesn't have to be done in the morning, but having a regular routine with intentional activities that have a positive influence on your life is key.
Short and Easy Morning Routines
Keeping your morning routine short and easy to accomplish increases the chances of sticking to it. Start small with each habit and gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable.
Flexibility and Adaptation in Morning Routines
Morning routines may change due to various circumstances, such as travel or changes in daily responsibilities. It's important to adapt and modify your routine accordingly without seeing it as a failure.
Overcoming Setbacks in Morning Routines
If you miss a day or two of your morning routine, don't beat yourself up. Treat it as a solitary mistake and get back to your routine the next day. Consistency is important, but a single setback shouldn't derail your progress.
In this episode Benjamin and Erik discuss creating a morning routine that works for you, how an evening routine helps with a morning routine and some of the most common components successful people include in their routines.
