Morning routine: Increase efficiency and be MOTIVATED


Feel that it is impossible to balancing health, work, life and getting everything under control? How about "stealing" some time from your mornings?

There's a saying, "an hour in the morning is worth two in the evening" (一日之計在於晨).  I agree with this wholeheartedly. Now that I am finally putting effort to develop a healthy lifestyle, I found that I can actually utilize my time in the morning to get more things done.

My morning routine is as follows:

6:15 am.
I wake up and get my playlist going, still loving 8tracks as I can simply key in my mood and let the app take it from there. Especially if you're into discovering new songs and artists or just bored easily, this is just perfect. Of course, there's also a like function and allows you to create your own playlist.

6:35 am.
Time to roll out my yoga mat and get some sit-ups done. Still trying to build a workout routine, haven't settle on anything so far but some reps on the things I like to do. Though I've figured out that the plank and side plank is starting to be favourites.

7:00 am.
Head outta door! It's an hour's train ride from my home to the office. What's better to learn a new language while you travel? I've always adored the way French sounded. Duolingo is the best app I've encountered so far. I'm sure I've talked about it somewhere already.

I also have a habit of writing in my diary on the train. I felt that I have so many thoughts that's wandering on my head I had to let them flow somewhere. So there goes!

8:00 am.
Arrived in the office and launch into another productive and motivated day!

It makes me happy to feel that I have used my time wisely and efficiently. While people are going on about how there's not enough time, why not find a way round it and get the problem solved?
Mine is the morning way, what's yours?
