4 Tips for a Better Morning Routine

Successful and lean people have these four things in common:

Consistency
Discipline
Routine
Rituals

They are diligent and stick to it no matter what. You will do the same with my amazing better morning routine tips below.

Tip #1: Prep Breakfast

Get organized for the morning and do it the night before by prepping breakfast. It’s not enough to wake up, have a coffee and head out the door because it disrupts your hormones and does not help with weight loss. Here are things I practice:

Tip #2: Calendar It – 5 min review

Calendar whatever needs to happen or you want to happen the next day. There is a difference between the two. You might need to buy groceries but you want to have a workout. Both need to be scheduled as a priority and this works:

Calendar routine (5 min): Review your calendar, schedule workouts with a firm date and time, delegate or clear what is not needed for the day *here is how to eliminate and delegate from your calendar
Do you need to calendar your workout?
What are your meals for the day?
When can you schedule YOU time?
What is the pay off if you complete the task?

I categorize the majority of my day in my planner. If workouts are your current struggle, start with these Workouts of the Week.

Tip #3: Clothes and Water Ready to Go

Get your clothes ready the night before.

From underwear, your elastic, socks, “work or stay at home outfit”, shoes and every single item needed to wear for the next day
Picking your clothes avoids brain drain *your brain has a limit as to how many decisions you can make in a day
It’s one less decision and you will avoid finding out your “favourite top or outfit being in the wash“
Workout planned? Pack those clothes too!
Always fill up your water bottle too

Tip #4: Ready at the Door

If you have to leave the house put everything at the door. This avoids “forgetting or looking for things” because it’s at the door”. It will also help with time management because items are ready to go.

Think about what you need to do the next day – what items go with what appointments or tasks?
Make a checklist and put everything at the door and never leave home without a water bottle
Make your kids do this every night too
