One thing that is a constant struggle for me is “getting going” in the morning. I’m definitely not a morning person. Top that off with I don’t have a boss, or a set time I need to be up doing anything and you have a recipe for disaster. I’ve recently improved this a great deal by following this morning ritual as close as I can every day:
Morning Ritual
25 min:
-Drink protein shake w/warm water or milk (or juice)
-Make Tea & Eat Vitamin + Bring laptop upstairs
-Eat Breakfast + clean skillet if needed
Choose at least 2 of these, 30 mins:
-15 min kempo practice
-15 min reading non work related book
-15 min or exercise (abs) or (yoga/stretch)
-15 min meditation
Straight into 2 hrs. of focused work w/timer (no delays).
Then Straight into Workout for the day (ideally).
-If this can’t be done due to schedule conflict try to work out @ 4:45 p.m.
