Morning Routines

I'm making a video in which I challenge myself to do a ridiculous amount of stuff in the morning, inspired by what I shall call "morning routine porn."

Partly I'm making fun of the idea that there's a magic morning routine that will change your life, partly I think it's legitimately helpful to bust your cycle and get out of your comfort zone. I'm certain I won't be able to maintain this, but it could be fun.

And I welcome any other suggestions. The more ridiculous the better.

1. Get up before the sun

I've tried getting up early before, and I loved it. Couldn't keep up with it, though.

2. Think about death

Came across this idea from this Buddist Monk.

3. Meditation

I have experience with meditation.

4. Make Bed

I won't actually be able to do this because my wife will still be asleep.

5. Bullet Proof Coffee/Water with lemon/Tea/Smoothie (drank "mindfully")

Who knows, maybe ALL of them at once?

6. Protein Forward Breakfast (eaten "mindfully")

I already eat eggs and black beans pretty much every day, inspired by Tim Ferris.

7. Run 5 miles/Work Out

While listening to an inspiring audiobook.

8. Cold Shower

I already did a video in which I did this for 30 days, to... interesting results.

9. Affirmations in the mirror

I did a video on this, too.

10. Journal

I did several videos on this.

11. Read

Surprise, I did a video about reading more books, too!

12. Family time

I assume my wife and kid will be up at this point.

13. Set daily goals

Basically, just write down what I have to do that day.

14. Eat the frog

AKA, first get the thing done that I least want to do.
