THE BEST MORNING ROUTINE CHECKLIST FOR A PRODUCTIVE DAY

My morning routine checklist is the ladder to a successful day. I start each day with a structure. It’s useful to know what part of the day works best for you. Morning is my most productive time. Although it’s always evolving, I think it’s essential to create habits that’ll help you connect and make you feel grounded.

In today’s blog post, I’m sharing my 5 simple morning routine checklist for a successful day.  

So, whatever your daily routine starts with good intentions. Every intention can trigger the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain. Let’s start the day. Engage in a morning ritual that works for you.

And as John Maxwell said, success is found in your daily routine.

HOW TO START A MORNING ROUTINE CHECKLIST

Morning is an invitation to create a successful habit. So, start your day by creating a simple morning routine checklist that will put your mind in order. Every moment harbours the potential for success.

1. ORDER YOUR MORNING 

We are all different, but ordering your time is a good practice for success. Our bodies need some form of order to adjust to the day. I recommend you set a time to get up before sunrise. If you take this moment, you are giving your brain signals to balance your energy. Not to mention fueling your body and mind the right way.

But here are some ways to set your morning:

  • Apply wisdom to my morning – The key is to seek the will of the Father (Lord). I use this opportunity to align my thoughts and words with the Lord. Whether you are a believer or not, it is key to command your views and words. This helps to make the most of every situation in life. After all, we all have the same amount of time to be kind to ourselves.
  • Focus on my intention – Here, I use the time to ask myself, ‘What do I want to achieve today?’

Inspiring quote: “Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. 

Psalm 90:12

By the time you read this, I’ll have already created a checklist for an entrepreneur. It’s everything you need to know to plan your day.

2. PLAN YOUR NUTRITION  

Nutrition is a time to get real with your body. When you plan, you’ll remove items and stock the right nutritional food. Plus, food triggers your cognitive processes and affects your mood, helping you work effectively. Hence, a good plan will make you healthier.

Here are some of my favorite nutritional morning routine checklists:

  • Start the morning with a glass of warm lemon/lime water or green juice (spinach, ginger, orange and celery) 
  • Drink my favorite tea – green tea, ginger turmeric, holy basil or Tulsi, spearmint and more. 
  • Super bowl: rolled oats, warm oat milk, blueberries, almond butter, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, walnuts, and cinnamon.
  • Last, I will take my supplements for an extra boost.

3. MOVE YOUR BODY 

It is essential to move your body. Especially with the current Covid19 situation. An at-home workout is vital for your stress and mental health. For example, I’ve been moving my body with these activities:

For some at-home workout ideas: 
  • Yoga – there is a lot of yoga on YouTube
    • Stretching 
  • Jumping jack 
  • Strength training with at-home weights – you can purchase on Amazon

4 – SET A TO-DO LIST GOALS

My to-do list is structured not to overwhelm me, but to be realistic. In fact, to be effective, you need to have a schedule. So this is how my plan is working.

First, take 15 minutes and plan your to-do schedule. Before you know it, you have structure, and you can focus!

5 – REMOVE THOSE DISTRACTIONS

Oh my, I’m going there today. You know the distractors; get it out of the way now. For instance, devices, people, social apps and so on.

Besides, I follow the 80/20 rule for my to-do list, prioritizing important tasks. I avoid having my phone in the same room. I close unnecessary tabs on my computer. I schedule social media block-off time. I also use an app (flipd) that keeps me on track.

CONCLUSION

That’s my amazing morning routine checklist to help you get started and stay motivated. In fact, this routine can be challenging to stick to, but how you start determines the order of success.

So, if you have been searching for a routine, start here and save this post to keep you accountable.
