    Points for reference:
    1. Make Your bed
    2. 10-15 push-ups
    3. Journalling
    4. 10-20 minutes of meditation

    I do all of these things, except the journalling. Recently, I've added a small gesture that I like very much. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I pause for a moment and acknowledge that I'm about to start a new day. I see that the whole day at this point is still ahead of me. At the end it will have been spent. It will be over. But here I am, right at the starting line. Usually this gives rise to a sense of gratitude, or feeling committed to make the most of the day. The whole thing takes five seconds, but it sets the tone for everything that follows.

    To date, this is the BEST description of "meditation": to be aware of your thoughts and get used to not reacting so itbecomes easier in the rest of your day. Previously the idea of meditation would anger me because people say "clear your mind" etc, which for me is 100% impossible. Thank you Tim for this description!

    I totally understand the motivation for making one's bed upon arising. However, I've read that, if you make your bed immediately after waking up, you can trap moisture in which is a good environment for dust mites. So, I open my window and expose the unmade bed sheets to air and sunlight which is apparently like kryptonite for the mites. Then before leaving the house, I make my bed.

    • @m3lisha

  • @marcuscross8051
    @marcuscross8051 Před 3 lety +4

    I also recommend people get a light alarm clock. I set mine to gradually get brighter over the course of an hour between 5:30am and 6:30am. It's much nicer (and more natural) to gradually wake up to light than to suddenly be jolted awake by a horrible sound. So, the latest I want to get out of bed is 6:30am, but I typically end up getting up somewhere between 6:00am and 6:15am. I then shave, meditate, exercise, then write in my journal whilst drinking my morning smoothie.

  • @MatthewGraves
    @MatthewGraves Před 5 lety +2

    I definitely agree on the "making your bed" idea and "external mess = internal mess" idea. I have been working from home for almost 20 years and keeping things in order helps to keep the clutter from taking over your mind!

    @Jozayz Před 5 lety +107

    Start by putting your phone in airplane mode before you go to bed. You want to have a boot up system of your own rather than waking up to notifications. If you win the morning you win the day.
    1. Waking up and making your bed. You accomplish one thing in the beginning of the day. Sets you up physiologically to have a productive day.
    2. 10 -15 push ups to prime your nervous system.
    3. Journaling (5 minute journal or morning pages)
    4. Meditation 10-20 min (Headspace)
    BONUS: I would also include SMILING first thing when you wake up. Start the day in a positive way! :)

  • @Ruvimbobambino
    @Ruvimbobambino Před 4 lety

  • @MrRockyVega
    @MrRockyVega Před 5 lety +2

    I do a lot of this already!
    I learned from a book by another author about making your bed first and he also suggested doing a few minutes of Radio Taiso.
    I also meditate for about 5 minutes a day and it all these things do wonders.
    Only thing I don't do(that I used to do) is journal and only because I feel like it takes too much time. I was doing it for
    probably 30 minutes to an hour a day so maybe I just need to add it back in but in shorter time frames.

    Making my bed drives me crazy, so I very neatly and symmetrically fold my PJs (usually shorts and a tank) and place them on a chair or on my pillow. Gives me a bit of an artisan win in the morning and it's always nice to see your comfy clothes waiting for you when you get home.

    "If you win the morning, then you win the day".
    Simple words but enough to motivate me to make the best out of my morning!
    Other advices :
    1. Make your bed (the outcome is to make you feel like you had accomplished something)
    2. 10-15 push ups (or basically a little exercise that can pump you up for the day)
    3. Journalling
    4. 10-20 minutes meditation (try to look it as if you are practicing to organize your immense amount of thoughts)
    Things to remember :
    Turning your phone to airplane mode before bed is clearly important so that you don't wake up to notifications. It's truly important to not be detracted at the beginning of the day if you want to win the day!

    Sweet. Great tips Tim! My morning routine: wake up with the sun at 5:30ish in the summer. I've never used an alarm clock ever. Does sex count as exercise I don't know but if not, chug some water, stretch, bathroom dance, make bed, and release the windows from their coverings and check out the sky. Listen to the birds, watch the sun rise up to a hot pink and orange to erase the grey haze.

    3) grab a glass of water
    4) Journal while hydrating
    5) Cook/eat breakfast
    6) get dressed
    7) head to work (pick up a coffee on the way)
    The key is to follow a standard protocol each morning that gets your mind in the zone quickly and with minimal effort.

    Hi Tim, What a great content.
    I really want to know how you make your journal, could you make a specific video about your journal?
    because that is the same issuer, that has been bothered me in a day when something bad happens during the day, then the rest will also be going bad, I'm losing my motivation to do my tasks & can't even concentrate because of anger, confusion, etc.
    Thanks

  • @OliverX
    @OliverX Před 3 lety

    I agree with the premise of the journaling tactic. For me it takes the form of notetaking and list-making. It is remarkable how effective analog list-making has been for me the night before I wake. I go to bed directed, lighter, anticipatory, and clear, rather than loaded and weighted by the gravity of randomness or the dread that can creep in. The list then helps compel me to achieve a set of plans in sequence and manage my energy and priorities in order. This would not be significant if I did not see what the doing nothing can evidence. In my most productive days I have been able to break down my first six hours into 15 minute activity intervals. I know that sounds obsessive, but it can be actually liberating, as we are programmable beings that do not naturally express efficiencies without solution sets or habituation. After that first six hours, improvisation itself seems more purposeful and rewarding--perhaps because I have primed myself and have already experienced mental acquity in execution of the early successes of the day, as you so aptly stated in the video. Thank you for the information and validation!

    My mom always tell us to make our beds as soon as we get up. I never knew it's benefits..I never listened to her being a lazy kid, but after watch a video by one guy named Jocko about making beds. I tried to make a bed-making as a habit...and indeed it has helped me alot. I'm grateful to my mom. I think in India it's a household habit to make our beds as soon as we get up.
