How to Get the Most Out of Your Mornings

If you don’t pay attention, your precious morning time will disappear more quickly than cheese among mice.

mornings are usually extremely tough for me.

I wake up sluggish, unmotivated, dehydrated, and overall grumpy.

I always tried things that would make my mornings better and more productive, but nothing ever worked.

I would snooze to get some more Z’s and then when I do get up I’m trying to get myself ready to work and rush out the door.

‘How do I fix this?’ I have asked myself many times, but the solution came from an unexpected direction.

My mornings used to consist of these actions:

  1. Waking up.
  2. Drinking coffee.
  3. Social media and email until 30 minutes before I need to leave for work.
  4. Tefillin and a quick prayer.
  5. Quickly gussy up in the bathroom.
  6. Leave for work.

I wasn’t getting lots done in the mornings.

That was frustrating, to say the least. I would get to work starting my day pretty grumpy because I didn’t start it with a quick win.
