10 Tips To Improve Your Morning In 5 Minutes Or
Less
  • You've probably heard about the importance of
    setting a morning routine. Morning routines set
    your days up for success, plus you get to enjoy
    the long-term benefits of implementing good
    habits daily.

  • The only problem is, it can be hard to set the
    perfect routine for YOU. You have to make sure
    it's something that will feel good, benefit you,
    and is something you'll actually stick with.
  • That said, here are 10 different five-minute
    boosters that you can try out. See which ones
    work the best for you.

These boosters are adapted from my newest book

1. Get rid of something.
  • There are all kinds of things taking up space in
    your psyche that you can delete. Take five
    minutes to get rid of something each day.
  • Some things you can get rid of are old voice
    mails, pictures from your phone, emails, expired
    food, clothes you don't wear, old wire hangers,
    trash, items on your hard drive, computer
    bookmarks, newsletters you don't like any more,
    old makeup, apps on your phone, contacts on your
    phone, books you'll never read again, and old
    receipts or papers.

2. Have a standing five-minute call with a friend.
  • Many of us don't have time to connect with our
    friends like we used to. Have a regular
    five-minute call when you and a friend get to
    spend two and a half minutes each sharing what's
    going on. Set a timer if necessary.
  • This can be something you do every day, every
    other day, or once a week. And if you desire, you
    can do it with multiple friends.

3. Spark your creativity.
  • You can roll either Story Cubes (dice that have
    multiple pictures of nouns on every side) or
    write out random nouns that you put in a hat.
    Every morning, roll three dice or draw three new
    words. Come up with stories that incorporate
    every word that came up.
  • This exercise is fun, boosts your creativity, and
    is also something you can do with children.

4. Create a list of reasons to be grateful.
  • Gratitude increases your happiness, reminds you
    of all of the great things in life, increases
    optimism, improves self-esteem, reduces feelings
    of envy, and just makes you feel happier.

5. Track your money in and money out from the day
before.
  • Even if you have a consistent income, tracking
    what you're spending on a daily basis can be very
    eye-opening.
  • You might start to notice where you're mindlessly
    spending, or you might end up celebrating your
    habits.

6. Do something kind for your partner.
  • Ask yourself what would make your partner happy,
    then do it.
  • Maybe you have a dry-erase board where you write
    a new reason why you love them down every day, or
    you make them a smoothie, or put a towel in the
    dryer so they have something nice and toasty when
    they come out of the shower.

7. Break down overwhelming tasks.
  • If something's overwhelming you, it's because it
    hasn't been broken down enough. Take tasks you
    want to accomplish and simplify them to the
    easiest levels possible.

11
8. Create agendas.
  • If you have any meetings or phone calls on a
    given day, take a few minutes to set up agendas.
    When you can clearly tell people what the focus
    of a meeting will be, there will be less time for
    mindless chatter, and increased efficiency.

12
9. Bag up some snacks for the day.
  • Some ideas of things you can have on hand so you
    don't get caught with hunger later fruit, a
    baggie of almonds, carrots, celery, portable
    peanut butter or almond butter packs, healthy
    snack bars, or hard boiled eggs.

13
10. Read a guilty-pleasure magazine or website.
  • Take a few minutes to read something that lights
    you up, even if it does absolutely nothing for
    your productivity. Read a gossip magazine, go on
    a fun website, or do anything that makes you feel
    really good no matter what other people might
    think.

I hope this helps you -- now go out there and
make your mornings a little better!
