Morning Routine Tips

1. Prep the Night Before (Future You Will Thank You) Okay, hear me out—spending 10 minutes the night before setting up your morning is a game changer. Lay out your clothes, pack lunches, and jot down any must-do tasks for tomorrow. Even 10 minutes of prep can save you a lot of time and stress in the morning rush. It’s one less thing you have to think about when your brain is still waking up.

2. Sneak in Some “Me Time” Before the house (or your email) starts demanding your attention, try to carve out a little you time. Just 5 minutes of sipping coffee in peace, stretching, or scrolling through memes—that time is sacred. It sets the tone for the day, and gives you a mini mental reset before the craziness kicks in.

3. The Rule of 3 Your to-do list is probably a mile long, but let’s be real—there’s only so much you can do in a day. Pick your top 3 priorities for the day and focus on those. Everything else? Bonus points if you get to it. No more feeling overwhelmed by trying to do all the things.

4. Get Moving (In Any Way You Can) I know, I know—who has time to work out in the morning? But trust me, even 10 minutes of light movement (a quick walk, yoga, or chasing your kids around the house—it all counts) can wake you up and get the good vibes flowing. You don’t need a full workout—just move in a way that feels fun and energizing.

Keep It Light and Easy
The trick to building routines is not overcomplicating them. Start with one or two small changes, and see how it feels. You don’t need to become a scheduling guru overnight. This is all about finding what works for you to make your morning feel a little smoother.
