Do you have a morning routine?

This episode is about morning routines.

I talk about:

· the many benefits to having a morning routine and how it can help set our day up for success.

· Steve Jobs used to ask himself every morning “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”, while looking in the mirror. If he said no on too many consecutive days then he made some changes. This was one of his morning rituals that helped set his mindset for the day ahead.

· Author and podcaster Tim Ferris says that having a morning routine can help you “win the day”. If you accomplish one good thing in your morning routine, you’ve accomplished one good thing for that day, and you’re much more likely to have a good rest of the day.

· My lack of a great morning routine. Although I do include exercise into my mornings at least a few days a week these days!

· Morning pages

· Exercise

· Meditation

· James Clear and his excellent book Atomic Habits

· My proposed morning routine and a 30 day challenge
