Minimalist Morning Routine for Calm & Productive Day
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- There are many morning routines out there, but here's mine!
1.) Wake up
2.) DON'T check my phone for at least 30 minutes (sometimes I fail at this).
3.) Make my bed
4.) Make coffee or herbal tea / water depending on the day
5.) Do something mindless like go for a walk
6.) Write down the top 7 things I need to do today
7.) Try to do the top 3
I find that that following this routine gives me a calm, productive day!
Let me know in the comments what YOUR routine is! I'm always looking to optimize.

Hey Hampton! Long time fan and lurker, got a question for you and hope to poke into your mind a bit more :)
You seem to be a pretty optimistic dude, which is great! My question is, do you ever get to a state where you "run out of" optimism? If so, how do you find yourself replenishing it?
I've been trying to be a more optimistic person lately, and it works out most of the time. But every few weeks, I find my optimism "burnt out", and I slowly creep back to my cynical self. And it is really hard for me to pick myself back to the optimistic mindset.
This is a great question and I actually filmed something today about maintaining hope and optimism. My optimism levels got unusually low when I was sick last week (both occurrences are very unusual).
It's fine to not always be hopeful and excited, but I try to put myself in a situation where I routinely am optimistic, at least several times during the week. The people we hang around and the content we consume seem to REALLY affect this. If the people and media with which you surround yourself is always preaching "doom and gloom," it can be very easy to feel this way too.
Hang around people that make you optimistic. If they don't exist, then consume content that makes you optimistic and excited to live life. It's not delusional, as some might tell you. I mean, what's the alternative? Being pessimistic (and calling it "realistic") and doing less in life? Enjoying life less overall? Ain't nobody got time for that.
Will post the video this weekend, I think! I hope it helps.
As Zig Ziglar said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing - that’s why we recommend it daily.” I've found that to be very true for me, with motivation, optimism, or even just interests. Whatever I feed flourishes, and whatever I stop feeding can fade quickly. I try to "feed" my positivity with positive quotes, books, and videos (like Hybrid Calisthenics!) on a regular basis.
@@HybridCalisthenics I REALLY look forward to this video Hampton 🙌🏼
I’m an introverted person. I need time alone to decompress and reflect, listen to Let’s Read, or just watch a movie by myself. If I don’t get enough of that I will feel mentally exhausted, judgmental, angry, and depressed. My husband is the same way (introverted). I don’t know about the OP’s personality (extrovert vs introvert), but this is what helps me. Also, I’ve had to learn to say “no” and set healthy boundaries. I still struggle with that part. I will start to feel resentful if I say “yes” too much to please others.
@@HybridCalisthenics waiting to watch the optimism video now :)
But you're right. I do find myself more optimistic when I watch a lot of youtubers I'm inspired by(like you :)), and I try to be more like them.
I find myself burnt out when my own personal shortcomings or "low self-confidence" takes over
Morning routine:
- Get woken by cat
- Feeding cat
- Brushing teeth
- Drink a Glas of water
- Meditate
- if time do short taiji or xingyi warmup
Edit: would love to make the bed, but my wife is still sleeping :D
Yup! Would love to make the bed too, but the doggo and partner is still sleeping haha!
Lol the same for me, my daily routines always get woken up by cat and feeding cat, she's THE alarm and wont shut up before I give her fish and drink, that is a very effective alarm 😂
Another sweet morning routine :)
It would be quite a power move to make the bed with her in it haha
I always make my side when my husband is sleeping 😂
shout out to that cat for waking you up and preparing you for the day... and also for his food, logically
The fact that I watched every single 1 of your videos and the fact that I see a simple and honest man doing his thing not falling into the "CZcamsr Stereotype" is what brings me here everytime. Keep going like this Hampton, love you bro
Wait, you mean to tell me that you don’t take a crazy cocktail of vitamins before submerging yourself into an ice bath and then a sensory deprivation chamber session, followed by a thermal dunk?
Yeah that’s the spirit!!
Ain't nobody got time for that.
More specifically, some people have time for that, but I don't.
Even more specifically, I do have time for that but don't want to do it 😅.
@@HybridCalisthenics Oohhh I don’t blame you!! I don’t even know what a thermal dunk is!
Just skip all that and eat liver
Someone watches Joe Rogan…
This...is so grounded, so reasonable, so simple, so "reachable".
And for anxious people prone to overthinking like me, this is soooo much better than a hundred-pages book or a "coach" droning on and on. I am in the middle of a breakup after a breakdown, clinically depressed, unstructured because my ex was the one imposing her routine (and I was passively following along - I know, that where I/we screwed up), and my therapist has been nagging me for weeks to set up a routine and I haven't. But now I will. Because it isn't much. Because it's flexible. Because by saying so little, you leave enough room for me to imagine my own instead of aping someone else's.
Or in a few words: where most advice sounds as "you should", yours genuinely sound like "you could".
I think you're definitely on to something there! I think it's a "you could" and a "you can"!
Thank you hamptom, my life is been better for your content, you are so helpful and kind. You are my inspiration
Thank you so much, my friend. One of my main goals while spending hours creating these videos is to improve the lives of our community members, even if just by a little bit.
Thank you for being here! It means a lot.
Everything is fine with all of you, you are just spoiled, it's ok
I actually just woke up some 30 minutes ago and I didn't check my phone but when I did I got this wonderful notification.. So yeah you definitely shouldn't check your phone if there's a Hybrid Calisthenics video 30 minutes in the way!
facts 😂💯
ME TOO.
Same with me
The calm that your presence bring in my life is impeccable.
I try to go to church every morning and have a conversation with Jesus ❤️🥰
One of the reasons why i also make my bed every morning is because i see it as the first task of the day which helps me become productive and lets say i end up having a bad day? I get to come home to a ready made bed. Makes all the difference.
Man I use the same ring tone to wake up and this made me happy! I appreciate this comment section as well!
what i actually learned from this vid:
hampton loves his coffee to be labour intensive😂☕ but i respect that alot
Dude I love this man so much, just after looking his face you can feel refreshed. I just hope he remains like this forever ❤️.
Foreigner, one of the greatest bands ever! Cool shirt.
Part of my morning routine is laying in bed awake for an hour building up the mindset to get up. I really need to cut that step out.
The obligatory 'not a morning routine but..'
I've been trying to implement a better night routine for myself, which I don't always stick to (didn't last night for example) but the gist is:
-gargle with salt water (winter = sore throat season)
-floss and brush teeth
-read at least 1 page of a book
-try to do a push up ( I can do 3 in a row now, never used to be able to!!)
-try to sleep at a reasonable time
And then when I wake up I make my bed.
Thank you for the lovely video Hampton, I'll try out some of the things you said , definitely should stop using my phone so early :) hope you are all well!!
you have the most calming house location
Hampton's legit he ain't lying like other CZcamsrs showing fancy and professional like morning routine which they don't even follow off camera.
I worked 10 days straight, spent all Thursday eating, spent all Friday sleeping. Getting this video suggestion for Saturday morning is just what I need.
Love this, and heavily agree with everything you've listed. I recognize this is a "morning routine" list, but if I may suggest. Skip step 6 and move that to your night/winding down routine. By writing down what you want/need to get done the night before, you start the day already prepared to tackle your to-do list without the stress of forgetting something. I've done this religiously since 2011 and it's worked wonders for my productivity and starting the day in a calm atmosphere. I used to do this on a piece of paper that I'd leave by my bedside; but since have migrated to using Trello where I can create multiple lists such as "today", "next time you visit parents", and even a "when you get a minute" list. Hope this helps!
Yooooooo the Foreigner t-shirt!!! ♡♡♡ big fan here
A man of culture i see...
You keep getting better and better
I always start by thanking God for the day
If you actually see this comment, can you *please* do a video covering your evening routine? I have such a hard time regularly going to bed and waking up at consistent times, especially the former. What do you do to avoid laying in bed watching CZcams on your phone until you fall asleep? I’ve tried just laying in bed, but then I just end up staring at the ceiling for a long time. Trying to sleep is so boring, I wish I could just immediately fall asleep.
Love this - thanks!
I love your positivity man!
Thank you for the video!
Hey Hampton, just wanted to say thanks. Been following your stretching routine daily for a couple of weeks by now, also started to do your calisthenics routine 3 weeks ago. I'm already much more flexible and generally feel better! Thanks :3
I start my day twice.. when I wake up in pain I cone out to the smoke room watch CZcams videos drink water then decide to create or try an sleep.. I generally paint. Then I sleep an start again repeat 1st part with coffee an water an art figure my must does an want to do an see if I can get some done.
It's been a pleasure watching your videoes
Thankyou so much for this man! Keep up the great work
Keep up the good work Hampton! Love the video. Very helpful and simple.
Thank you. This is wonderful and indeed minimalist.
Bro I love how calm you are
I appreciate you sharing your morning routine with the community!
Appreciate you sharing😊
This video was super helpful, thank you Hampton!
Nice and simple and approachable, as always
That's my alarm tone too! Much more calming...
i like that you are honest about doing things just sometimes! this motivates much more than those typical morning routine videos
So happy I came across your channel. You and your community are such an awesome vibe ☺️
I like what you said about drinking coffee every other day. I should start practicing that method.☕☕
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Easy to forget these thing. Thanks 4 da reminders and good vibes. 🌹🌯🧡
You are frickn awesome bro!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Thx for sharing this! It inspires me and gives me some energy to be more discipline with my morning routine
I wish you the best. Thank you for these videos.
Thanks for shining your light. You have a beautiful soul.
All you rich kids need something like this so you can do something during the day
My morning routine:
1. Get woken by alarm
2. Turn off alarm
3. Go back to sleep
Thank You very much!
I really appreciate your authenticity. It comes through in all of your videos. You say what you feel you need to say, not solely what you think others want/expect you to say. It's really nice. Thank you for your content.
It’s so…peaceful. I want it. I’ll try and get it. Thank you ❤️
Thank You Hampton, And Have a beautiful, wonderful day, my friend!!!
Made it clearer to me that I'd like to establish a routine... Thx for the appreciative input
I love it brother. Great routine. Stay enjoying life
The familiarity of the alarm sound yours made me smile
Thats my exact phone alarm! Off to a good start :)
My favourite Saturday morning. Breakfast and Drinking coffee plus watching Hampton
I have no idea why I like this guy so much...
Shout out to Bernard. ❤️🌿
Love from Bernard!
I have the same Alarm! It's quite pleasant to hear but it's starting to give me anxiety!
I've changed it to the classic alarm clock. Also, great video!
Wow, that sure is simple! Thanks for sharing, this is refreshing as so many people out there are sharing super elaborate morning routines that according to them are absolutely necessary for success. This just goes to show that each person is different, and in my opinion we would all benefit from doing some exploration to see what works best for ourselves instead of trying to imitate some other person. Of course we can get ideas from others but in the end I think it is best to adapt it to what feels best for us. Have a great day Hampton!!
Good ideas, Hampton. Quite related to the bjm (bullet journal method, great book)
I am limited in my morning routine as my spouse sleeps later than I do (we work different hours). I get up and work out (run MWF, calisthenics 😉 TTS, rest Sunday), do a quick rinse in the shower (no more than 2 minutes), I get dressed, take my meds, pack food for the day (sometimes breakfast and lunch, sometimes just lunch), and then it's out the door for work or off to start chores!
Thank you for being you. Your such a balance person. I feel you have added to so many peoples life’s by the way you share. In a way seldom seen. Enjoy a great day.
I checked my phone this morning first thing and found you. So glad I did. Love all your stuff. Seriously great ! Thank you
I might try this. I'm trying to control my life and emotional thresholds for stress better and this sounds like a good idea.
Love this!!
I don’t think we talk about the basics of our days enough. I like seeing what people do when not on camera.
Anyway, keep up the great work!
I love your content most of all!
I love how genuine you come across as and I really find myself not only digging your philosophy but agreeing with your philosophy a majority of the time
Awesome routines. I hope to get chasing my dreams also and making better videos. These routine videos are crazy popular!
I love you man! So so much
Super helpful, thanks
Hey Hampton, thanks so much for your posts. They always give me so much fuel for my life. I like hearing about how others organize their day or develop their routines. My morning routine has changed, now that I am out of the workaday world, and a bit longer in the tooth than probably most of your readers. Mine tend to change seasonally, or really just as needed, or sometimes for no particular reason at all or if I'm trying to add something new to my life or my mornings. I am an early riser, I like to be up by sunrise or a little before. I give the pets their morning feed, I make myself a warm beverage. I like to sit in the quiet of the morning, journalling my thoughts, anything I remember from my dreams, or leftovers of emotions from the day or two previous. I'll eat a small breakfast. The mindless part for me is the internet, usually news around the world or looking something up I saw and want to find out more about. I filter the news stuff heavily and stay away from the noise and clamor of whatever the outrage of the day is. Then a little meditation, or quiet observation of the wildlife outside. Or maybe start some housework, gardening, or cooking. Then the dog walk; he's an active breed so he gets a pretty good long walk every day. then home to change and work out for an hour or more before having a light lunch and getting into the middle of the day.
P.S. I like to make my bed every morning too. But I have a super simple bed too. Fitted sheet, duvet, pillow. Done.
Hey, just wanted to comment on this video to say thankyou. Ive been in a slump for the last 2 years. This feels like I’m at the worst point in my life, but when I find someone like you on here it really gives me the motivation I need to be a better version of myself
Thank you for emphasizing the importances of sleep and not crazy wake up times like 5AM. (I mean if that time works for someone and they got enough sleep all good). I find this so much healthier and more balanced than so many morning routines, especially like having times just to sort of zone out as I think that is when creativity happens. Mine is pretty basic, I don't make my bed right off as I pull back the sheets and open my window to air things out and then make it a bit later in the day. I try and take a short walk & do a quick and easy mobility type exercise (yoga, dynamic stretching, easy exercise video, anything to get the blood flowing and limbered up a bit), & I try to always start with a tall glass of water as I find it helps wake me up and I am more likely to stay hydrated. I don't do physical lists as I find they don't work for me, but I do mentally go through what I want to accomplish.
I thank you for a great video
Thanks for posting this video! I’m definitely going to try the mindless half hour thing. I’m not a morning person so maybe something like drawing(a calming hobby for me) every morning would be helpful to get me in the right mindset for the day. God bless and thanks again!
Another great video! I love the flexibility and simplicity of your routine. I think if your morning routine is too long or involved, it makes you not look forward to your morning. Right now, I'm adding "gratitude" to my morning routine, where I think of ten things I'm grateful for.
Hampton, I love your morning routine, and it is actually similar to mine since I've been in retirement. The main thing I will adopt is the not checking phone for 30 minutes or maybe more. Otherwise, I find your philosophies for this routine to be very similar to mine. Now I know there are others who like this morning routine and its encouraging. THANKS!!
Hey can you please make more coffee with Hampton videos? Specifically any that have to do with relationships. I know you already did, but it's such a broad range of things that you can give advice on, I don't see any problem with making a pt two
I'm very open to make more! I feel like not EVERYONE wants to see them, so I try to balance my fitness & health content with the coffee podcast ones. They're some of my favorite videos to make, I just don't want to inundate people.
Happy to make another one on relationships too!
Yes I agree!!!!
@@HybridCalisthenics yeah thanks Hampton I just really want to get it right with this girl I rly like and I'm not sure what to do. I think she likes me, though.
thank you sir,it is very inspiring
greeting from Indonesia
Great video!
Thanks bro.
I just found you yesterday. FB reels. Finally, a positive from watching them! Your videos make me feel like I have a new friend. Anyway, I love knowing a person who cares about their health does not eat breakfast. I usually start to feel hungry around 1 pm. I make sure I have a large glass of water when I wake up, so I am hydrated. I have long been told I should eat breakfast to be fit, but I never understood making yourself eat in the morning if you aren't hungry. Thank you from a new fan.
I start fasting during the evening at 18 and usually don't eat anything before 10 in the morning. So something along the lines of this:
6.30 wake up, get dressed
6.35 check and record morning weight
6.40 take morning vitamins with a glass of water
6.45 take the dog out for a walk, usually 4-5km so between 45-60min
7.45 make some coffee, feed the dog etc
8.00 drink said coffee while reading for 20ish minutes
8.30 get prepared to start working (or start working)
Making the bed is not a priority to us, for work schedule related things - my schedule is pretty rigid but my wife's is very not :D
You just made me feel better.
I always make a list and then beat myself up for not doing enough of it. If I resolve to do three, just maybe I'll finish them, and 4 or 5 or more!
Thank you for your content brother
Thank you for being here!
I like this. I need to build a routine. I’ve had an open heart surgery and liver transplant, both in the last 18 months. So I have been doing a lot of nothing. I haven’t healed like I thought I would but I can start adding little things to my day/life to give more meaning to my life. Thanks again. As always I love this content.
Listen to a morning meditation while I awaken, that helps me think about some things that would make this day great. Then I already know what I want to do for that day 🥰
Thanks for your content Hampton! I'm new here. Just dropping a line to appreciate you, and how accessible your videos are. Feeling inspired to create a routine that works for me, and motivated to develop discipline around my self-care/physical fitness. Yr rad.
just watching this video makes me calm
I do the mindless bit in the tram to work/library in the morning, i just listen to music with my head empty
Great video!! I should try delaying the phone thing
Often hear people talking about getting their best ideas in the shower and I have experienced this too. Guess it’s the mindless aspect you refer to. Interesting stuff, thank you.
This was unexpectedly relaxing
Thank you! Recently, I've started meditating for 30 minutes (have to look at the phone to start the timer, though.) Then, I make coffee and make my bed while coffee is brewing. Then I pray and sit down to drink coffee and watch a few youtube videos before starting my studies.
So sensible, taking time away from your phone: allows you to be proactive, rather than reactive to your daily plans. Pootling in the morning is very under-rated. Thank you for your videos - so calming.
Not first but quick today
Thanks for being here! I wasn't first either, haha.
This is really helpful
Ngl your alarm kinda freaked me out for a second. I use the same one and when i heard it i was like "oh shoot gotta wake up now" which led to a very confusing couple of seconds. Love your work, keep it up Hampton!
Hey! I've been watching your videos for a while and just wanna say I really love them! I could tell you alot how you helped me, but especially this video alone really gave me inspiration to take my morning routine in different view.
I've never thought about doing mindless thing first thing in the morning to let the brain in "neutral mode" and I'll sure implement it and the todolist tip seems very helpful to me, because I think of everything I *should* do, having it impossible to get it done that day and be down at evening thanks for that and for sure it has weaknesses so I will approach it my way.
Thanks for being such a motivational force for a lot of people and have a nice day too!
(If anyone was interested my IDEAL morning routine is this:
-Wake up and make my bed
-Brush my teeth and wash my face
-Gratitude journal
-Make/eat breakfast and make some snacks for whole day
-Meditate (with open window helps a lot)
-I will sure implement the mindless activity, todolist and i think a little exercise)
Youre an Asian Native looking Mr. Roger's and I like that.
Thanks haha!
I have the same alarm set!!
