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
10. Journal
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.
btw if you just copy and past the link directly in the list, the youtube video will be embedded in the post and make it even easier to watch!
