THE 3 STEPS TO CREATE A DAILY ROUTINE

PLAN 1 – Productive morning routine  

The first solution and now, the most important for me is commanding my morning. This routine sets the tone, environment and mood for the day. 

GET IT NOW – 10 THINGS TO DO FOR A PRODUCTIVE MORNING

  1. Rise early. From an early age, and my grandmother always said: Don’t let the sun rises, and you are still in bed. 

  2. My time of devotion. This includes worship music, bible reading, prayer and waiting on God to direct me (meditation). 

  3. Have a glass of water with apple cider vinegar or lemon (optional) 

  4. Make my bed. This small task creates order in my mind and allows me to start my day. Also, I can’t function in a messy area. 

  5. Gym – if my schedule doesn’t have time, I’ll opt for yoga movements. 

It is part of my strategy to get these things before I walk into my office because when I walk in, I feel like I just achieved a portion on my schedule.
