Adulting isn’t always a ton of fun, and mornings are definitely less exciting than when you were a child! Now for the good news: there is a lot that even the busiest person can do to make their mornings more fun. Here are the best habits to do for getting the day off to a good start before work or school:
1. Figure out how much time you need to be ready fast, but without rushing
This is almost certainly about 5 to 10 minutes extra than what you’re doing now. Don’t do anything about this just at the moment though. Just calculate the number of minutes you need so you're not rushed when going through your morning routine. We'll deal with this number a little later on.
2. Get up and start getting ready the minute your alarm goes off
Rest assured you do not have to rush around the whole time before you leave. Just begin the process of moving to the shower right away. It’s OK if your brain hasn’t moved out of neutral yet, just so long as your body is getting ready. Don't overthink this. If you need to, put your phone or other alarm out of arm's reach so you have to get up just to turn it off.
Getting up immediately is the best wake up routine for success.
3. After you get out of the shower, switch on portable music while getting ready
After your shower, open Soptify, YouTube Music or your own MP3 tunes while you continue to get ready. The music keeps you moving. Do not browse your phone or turn on Netflix because you’ll wind up stuck in front of it. If you need news updates, wait until some other time - or get up even earlier to allow time for that. But try to avoid reading the news in the morning anyway! It can be depressing. Music is just more fun and mornings should be fun.
4. Eat a fast, easy breakfast meal
Don’t set yourself up for a ton of work or dishes – that’s no fun to come home to after work or school, so go with some of these fast easy breakfast ideas and make it fun and easy on yourself. The ideal morning routine is one that is fast and easy.
5. Before leaving for work, remember your answer to question 1
This evening, set your alarm that many minutes earlier to allow yourself time to get ready without stress. Go to bed correspondingly earlier. Until you get used to it, evenings may not seem as much fun… but mornings will be, and your morning self will thank you!
If it helps, think of an earlier bedtime as a reverse sleep-in - you get to sleep for longer, it's just that it starts earlier instead of finishing earlier. You get to indulge in more sleep.
