Morning Routine

I tried different combinations but a couple of things sticks:

1. Wake up 5 AM 5:30 AM (so you have plenty of the most productive time to work on the most important things even if you have full-time job or children)
2. 500 ml pure water
3. Brush your teeth with your left hand if you are right-handed and with your right hand if you are left-handed (in the first week, be prepared to walk with poorly brushed teeth)
4. Meditation 10-20 mins
5. Cold shower
6. Green tea, I used to drink coffee but no longer
7. Journaling ideas, insights, plans
8. Ask my subconscious an important question before going to bed

Not every morning contains all these steps. Sometimes I can start a day right to journaling while drinking a big glass of water. Sometimes I wake up much later if I need more sleep.

Hang from a pull-up bar for 1 minute while completely relaxing my back and spine

Wake up, journal, work.

Journalling is a recent addition, no coffee is a recent reduction.
Do whatever make you feel ready to take on the world, but don't over-complicate it.

• Ware up around 5:00 / 5:30
• 30 min of sport / stretching (depending of what I did the day before)
• 30 min of meditation
• Breakfast

Then I go doing stuff.

I go to bed at 10pm usually to have enough sleep. It's important.

I'm speaking more about my routine in general here.

I'm a classic over-worker so usually I have problems sleeping and relaxing because I'm focussing on some problem. Recently I've been taking hour long walks with my wife in the mornings. The first 20 minutes or so are filled with my usual thoughts but after that the dissipate which has been amazing to feel. I've tried mindfulness and other techniques with different levels of success but by far this has been the most rewarding and is a very nice outcome for me from these not-so-nice times 😎 If you have a park or nature of any sort near you and have problems switching off, I'd highly recommend it.

During this confinement I found that the best routing for me is:

• 6.30am go for a run (some days) or
• 7am wake up, stretch exercises and prepare coffee
• 7.30am Day task planning (super important)
• 8am Have breakfast with my girlfriend
• 9am Start working

The thing that makes the difference for me is to sit down for 15 minutes and review what I had planned for the week and write down my tasks for the day. If I don't have defined tasks I start working on whatever comes to mind, which can be super productive some days, but other days is just a productivity disaster 😅

I guess that yeah. I have morning routine.
