Very good morning

TL;DR

This is one more personal post after my latest description of my learning pattern. I’d like to share how I start my morning and how it improved my overall quality of whole day.

Morning schedule

  • 5:45 AM - it’s time to get up and prepare and eat the oatmeal: oat flakes, a few raisins and hot water
  • 6:00 AM - by this time I’ve got my breakfast eaten and it’s reading time!
  • 7:00 AM - workout time (some weights or a stationary bike)
  • 7:50 AM - post workout shake
  • 7:55 AM - shower
  • 8:10 AM - I’m starting to waking up my child. It takes up to 15 minutes of playing music (sometimes singing is included)
  • 8:40 AM - ready for the kindergarten!
  • 9:00 AM - my second breakfast
  • 9:30 AM - with a cup of coffee I’ m starting my work

I’ve been changing this schedule a little bit for 5 months now. The current version might be a subject to change, but the overall shape won’t change. Why?

Why so early?

I’ve always been an early bird, but a few months ago I noticed loosing focus. Keeping a morning like this, introduces some good routine/regime to my life and lets me maintain focus for my whole work day. Waking early means going to bed ~10-11PM, but occasionally I stay awake till the midnight (once in a while). Additionally, before I start my work, I got my workout, some reading, two breakfasts checked. This is a really good start!

Summary

Is this a way to go for everyone? Probably not. On the other hand, living in a world of interruptions and notifications does not improve our ability to focus. Having a morning like this - definitely does.

awesome, whatever works for you its good for you! key here IMO is to find that routine. Not an easy tasks and not everyone want to try if this will work for them.

Therefore grats for finding your own routine!
