I'll go first: it feels like I have to work out in the morning to jumpstart my brain & keep motivated! That, and about a billion oolong teas! 😆

Any day that starts with exercise and sun will be a good day!

Coffee….all the coffee
Go outside for at least 30 minutes! Especially while working remote
@jonathanm I have been feeling this for sure as of late! We have to ground ourselves!
@jonathanm @jonwesselink Yes, since remote working has started, nothing has been truer. There is no more draining feeling than realizing it's noon and I haven't left the house or seen the sun.
@jonwesselink @brenna_donoghue Exactly! Seeing the sun is key :)
Usually just a good nights sleep
Here is how my morning starts:))) meditate, and then my cup of coffee (I love it:) I start my work at 9 am, but I get up every day at 6 am.
15-20 min I spend setting my most important tasks for the day. Then I have my breakfast, so I give myself plenty of time before I start my work.
@leyla_aliyeva1 I like that idea of the morning crunch moment so you're satisfied with an enjoyable breakfast & rest of the day 🤔
Healthy meal.
@nyla_chughtai I agree, if we're in the info economy, eating well is taking care of our biggest asset ðŸ§
One of the best ways to stay productive is by setting realistic goals and sticking to them. This way, you'll know what to do to meet your objectives. Secondly, a work/life balance is also essential for productivity. It would also help to find some fun and relaxation time to avoid stress.
@qudsia_ali So true. The quality of our work diminishes if we don't get time off. Thanks for this great reminder!
Coffee, meditation and nature walk.
I have a daily to-do list where it's the same few things every day. Once I complete these I'm set for the day
I've got a 3h long morning routine. Key components:
- 30 mins HIIT
- 10 mins yoga
- 30 mins run
- 15 mins meditation
- 5 mins journalling
- 15 mins spaced repetition practice + language learning
- 5 mins professional development
- call a friend
- make breakfast
I'm consistent doing this and it makes a big difference to my mental health and energy levels throughout the day. I started out with a 20 minute routine and have built it up over time.
