Indie Hackers Morning Routine?

Soooo, very popular subjects...

Let's find out if it's same to most of us :)

So, what do you do to make your day magnificent?

My usual morning routine goes like this:

  1. Windows opening
  2. Water on my face & brushing teeth
  3. Ginger water
  4. 40 min walk with dog + audiobook + little jogging
  5. Stretching or exercising
  6. Cold shower
  7. Meditation
  8. Gratitude notebook
  9. Coffee (after 2 hours from waking up)

And now it's time to sit in front of the lap :) Every day after 2 hours.

What about you?

    I wish I had such specific routine. My sleeping time is not fixed, somedays it's 10, while other days I wake up till 3 in the morning. But I do make sure I get enough sleep to the extent that I am willing to sacrifice any thing for a good 8-9 hours sleep.

      I have the same approach to sleep. If I get less than 8 hours of good sleep - my entire day gets wasted, I can't focus and the day becomes blurry. I thought that I am the only one like this :D

      @sagunsh One thing I have learned over last years - If you wish, you'll keep on wishing. If you replace habits with the new ones and have specific goal while changing the environment for your own good... maaaan... the world is yours! I sleep 6 hours and it was a process to get to that point - of regular, best sleep. Happy to share with you more on a call one day!

        Yeah true and I am trying to build habits. Recently started investing my time on reading books, cycling and playing some physical sports. It feels refreshing and motivating.

        For me, sleep is the still most powerful thing that keeps me motivated for the entire day. I used to sleep 5 or 6 hours a day and couldn't be focussed the entire day.

        For me, 4 hours of 100% focus > 8 hours of 75% focus. I can get so much done if I have enough sleep and I know that is one thing I won't sacrifice whatever be the case.

      Why do you never complete it? Did you identify the obstacles? There's definitely sth and it's probably you, right? The question is - what reality you're creating, which doesn't bring you closer to your perfect morning routine? They are multiple ways to change it & you need to find it inside. With help of others of course. You can get inspired, use techniques talk more about it but remember. The greatest guru for you is you :) Inside, is where you should seek for the change.

      In my case, a dog is a good start. He's always there in the morning to spin this tail and be just happy to start the day and go for a walk with me. Because he is so present and full of positive emotions, I'm soaking them :) Cautiously.

      The rest is on me. Once you know where you're heading with your life it's easier :) It's not about trying or thinking about where and how it would be nice, where you want to be, and so on. It's about strong, solid, committed knowing. The knowing. After that, you simply know what to do and every time you change the course, man...\

      Find the sky, watch the stars and the moon, let them guide you and get back on tracks once again :)
