Do you feel like you can't stick to your morning routine ? That it's hard to stay accountable for the habits you chose to implement right at the start of your day? You look at your habit tracker and you can't maintain a streak for more than three days, and every single morning you feel the struggle to actually get motivated to wake up and do all of the stuff you've promised yourself to do?
If this happens to you, you're not alone, and you're definitely not being lazy or undisciplined. You're just being too ambitious.
If you identify with anything I've just said, that's because there is probably something wrong with the way you're setting up your morning routine, not you.

I'll try this,because my current morning routine is this:
1)My alarm clock rings at 9:00 am.
2) I get up and turn it off.
3) I go back to sleep.
4) My mum wakes me up at 13:00.
Edit: I share my morning routine with 706 people.
Edit 2: I share my morning routine with 801 people.
Edit 3: I share my morning routine with 835 people.
Edit 4: I share my morning routine with 926 people.
Edit 5: 1000+ people that share their morning routine with me,I hope you are happy with your morning routine. If not,I wish you to find the one that makes feel rejuvenated and happy each morning. Take care :)
🤣🤣🤣
Why is this me ?
Alarm clock wakes one up at 09. One turns it off, goes back to sleep. Wakes you again next day at 09, turn it off and go back to sleep. So permanent sleep interrupted by 10 min, when one turns off the alarm. At some moment turn off the alarm permanently.
Same 😂
Idea : put an alarm to go to bed !
Ask your mum to take away your electronics or turn off the wifi, then prep for bed, do ONE thing you like (it can be as long as you want, you just have to get away from electronics sooner) and go to sleep.
You'll see that you will wake up at an okay time. If you find yourself sleeping more than what you'd usually need, ask mum to wake you up in the morning.
A good thing to wake up really quick is to take a sip of water even before getting up, then oppening the curtains or turning on the light. You won't get back to sleep unless you reeaaaaaally need it !
As a morning person, I always feel best to start my day slowly and then bring on a faster pace as the hours go by. One thing I'd add to your morning productivity tips is to avoid social media in the early hours, because they draw your attention from important things and drain your energy to do activities like reading, journaling or meditating
Yea I realized I was a morning person when I woke up early enough to have a nice morning. Brekkie is the first thing I do and it's just this waking up routine for me where my blood gets going basically while I cook and eat a proper breakfast.
Well all I have is Pinterest 😂 so no big deal
Keeping devices out of earshot of the bedroom as part of a pm routine can help with the social media attraction.
After a lot of struggle, I finally accepted that I am just not a morning person. My brain works best when it's early in the morning (1-4 am lol) and ignoring that productive period and forcing something that works for someone else is just preposterous. So do what suits you the best. Like mentioned in the video I stopped feeling guilty for not following this construct and simply got my sleep. Now I am more at peace. I highly recommend it.
Do you exercise, eat well, drink lots of water, sun baths and not use cellphone in the evenings?
happy you found your peace! but also know that the reason we feel so awake during 1-4am is because that’s when our body is giving us all it needs to rest up for the next day. we all hit a little tiredness bump in the evening, but it’s sometimes hard to notice if we for example use our phones a lot, but that’s our que to sleep
ignore these comments, it's well-documented that the circadian rhythm differs dramatically between people (and can change in different people over time)
I completely agree! I have ALWAYS been a night person. Even when I was in high school I went to class, played sports then went straight to work I would get most of my work done from 12am-3am. As long as you are getting what you need to be done, why does it matter when it is done? Continue to live in ways the suit you.

My morning routine:
-being woken by my alarm
- laying in bed for an hour thinking about why I have to get up and putting it off
- get up
Nah I be dancing cause I put my alaram my fav song 🤡
@@dodoconny i did that once and now I hate that song 😂
@@helantopia OOOOF HAPPENED TO ME🤣
@@helantopia haha same and I regretted it 😅😂
Mariana should receive an award for the most comfortable looking sweater ever worn in a video. Love the content as usual!
I loved that she told "you're not a lazy person, but you're extra motivated"
Actually motivates me 😍💯💞
I think for me, i've come to terms with the fact that I'm not going to have a fancy or long morning routine. I'd almost always rather get the extra sleep. I wake up about 20 mins before I have to leave, throw on clothes, wash face brush teeth, and grab food (usually toast, or sometimes I make oatmeal muffins the night before), and walk out the door and I eat my breakfast on my way to class/work. I've tried waking up earlier, but it just doesn't happen. I'm better off setting my alarm to when I actually NEED to get up and then get up. I'd much rather do the medication/journaling/gaming the night before.
I can relate 😬😆
Yeah same! I feel like I had this when I was in college, and the answer (for me!) wasn’t to try and have a really long morning routine it was to actually consistently and reliably build just 10 more minutes into my morning. So even though the routine was really quick and simple, it wasn’t rushed. Because that was what really made me unhappy. And im also just not a morning person. Part of it I think was realizing that it’s not all or nothing, it’s not feel uncomfortable and rushed every morning or spent two hours doing x. I really needed sleep, but by having 10 more minutes I was able to do a really quick routine on purpose.
I relate! Last year at uni my Fridays started an hour earlier than my other days, and I would still get up at the same time. The night before I'd prepare breakfast so I could grab it with me. I realised I wasn't going to have a longer routine, so it was better to organise things around that so I'd still have breakfast! My favourite thing to do was make cinnamon fluffy pancakes (American ones) and freeze half (as a batch is usually enough for 2). Then I'd pop them into the toaster for 20 seconds and they'd be ready, and tasty plain. Working with myself meant I had way less stress!
Im actually impressed that you can do your mourning routine in such little time. Personally I need an hour or two to properly wake up in the morning for work or school even without meditating and reading
@@thelastwish558 I wouldn't say i'm really wake wake, but more that i'm really good at functioning when i'm sleepy. When I wake up, those 20 mins I take to get ready is 100% auto pilot mode. As long as i'm semi awake by the time I get to work/class it's all good :)
I've been watching your videos since grade 7, I'm in grade 12 now and I still stan. Love from Nigeria.
That's awesome!
My morning:
Get up, wash up
Water
Open the curtains
3-4 random activities (meditate, yoga, reading etc, just what it gives me today)
Breakfast and planning
Get ready
Is it weird that I dont have a morning routine? I just wake up, eat, brush my teeth and go right away do my stuff? I usually do other things I like in the late evening like reading
That’s actually your routine, eat, brush teeth, start working. Very similar to matt d’avella’s actually. I really dislike that people try to shove two hour long routines down our throats with meditation and a bunch of stuff that works for THEM but NOT for everyone. It is a lot of trial and error, but just do what works for you and dont feel pressured to have a routine with reading and meditation and cleaning and journaling and whatever
That is a routine!
Then you're doing fine
I do the same things just a different order. I also meditate a bit because apparently it should help with a mind that likes to jump from thought to thought - though I haven't done it long enough to know if it works
Wake up, making my bed, eat, take a shower and go to school... Yeahh same here🙂
My morning routine as a high school student
1. Alarm 7:00 in the morning.
2. Wake-up 12:00 in the afternoon.
True 😭
My habit tracker isn’t a guilt trip. I’m 12 so don’t take my advice too far but I have something alike generalized anxiety which makes me worry about things all the time and I can’t stop thinking. It’s annoying. I started using habit trackers so I could rest my mind on keeping in track with everything I’m doing. I recommend doing this. Use a normal day to day habit tracker but don’t feel guilty to not doing something everything. Set a goal to do something 1-3 times a week. Once you feel comfortable with doing it those times do it more often. I downloaded the app Stoic. And I realized I feel the least motivated in the middle of the week. I realized that I always have homework due to Thursdays so that’s why I’m always stressed. If you are a student I recommend starting with your projects, homework or whatever you have really early. You don’t have to do much just a part of the task in the beginning and it won’t feel as hard doing the rest of it later. (If my grammar is broken I’m Swedish) Happy holidays guys ❤️
You’re so wise, especially for a 12 year old! You’re going to do amazing things! I’m going to take your advice thank you!
-a 16 year old who needs to get her life together
i wish i was thinking about being productive at 12, you're doing great already
@@kiannafraga7209 I came to comment the same thing - OP is very wise for a 12 year old!
You’re doing amazing:)
"Use habit trackers not to guilt yourself." love that
my routine:
waking up between 6.00-7.00
workout
shower
skincare
breakfast
getting ready
starting my work
Why your morning routine isn’t working for you
Me: wakes up at 12pm
I used to wake up at 6 am get to school by 8am and get a lot of work done in the day. Now with online classes I don’t have the structure and it all fell apart lol. I wake up late in the day, stay up late at night. But I still get all my work done just not the same way. Can’t wait to go back to campus when it’s safe.
I’ve watched about a million videos on making a morning routine but somehow this one has been by FAR the most eye opening and helpful. I’m definitely going to try making “themed days”! Thanks for sharing
Your videos have improved a lot, I can tell these are not cookiecutter tips that 15 other youtubers have already mention but your actual experience which you implimented and shared with us.
I’ve been trying to create a ‘perfect’ morning routine recently and this really helped!! For whatever reason, I felt that I needed it to implement all of the SAVERS habits from the miracle morning and I’m thinking maybe it’s not for everybody!
My routine when I wake up:
Alarm: 8:45am
1. getting out of bed: 11am
2. Coffee
3. Check emails
4. Trying to figure out what I'm going to eat
5. Plan to study (but end up pushing it till night time)
6. Watch a movie while eating breakfast or Lunch
7. Take a nap around 4pm
8. wake up around 6pm
9. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4
10. then study
I don't know why this happens all the time but I'm getting so frustrated because it's not productive and I have to go on campus to do an internship for 8 hours a week. I also have one class and that's Biochemistry.
If you haven't read atomic habits, you should.
I’m really glad you brought up decision fatigue! I only learned about it a few months ago, and I’ve really noticed it’s one of the main things that leads to my burnout. Within the context of morning routines, I’ll be sure to make decisions about things like my outfit in advance, so I’m not starting my day off stressed
The most consistent youtuber ever known
❤ a fan of mariana
This is the most original video about morning routines I have seen so far. Also you can tell these tips are genuine experiences, not something solely read & researched!
Thanks Mariana, this actually helped me (especially the part, where you should do sth you can look forward to in the morning, not sth you have to force yourself to do) :)
I recommend have an alarm clock sound that actually makes you happy like your favorite song. This really helped me wake up early.
I agree but don't use your favorite song!!! If you're not a morning person it will quickly ruin it for you 😂
I try to keep realistic in the beginning. I start off by just waking up earlier but Astro allowing myself to lay in bed or scroll through social media, once that’s down, I take out one thing at a time & replace it with something more productive or rewarding. Over time I have a wonderful routine in place with flexibility for change!
have gone through some turmoil in my life recently. and now come back, watching your videos again makes me feel soooooooooo good. it makes me feel like i'm putting myself together. thank you for your work 🌹
Prepping outfits the night before really helped reduce my morning anxiety. Love arriving to work not feeling rushed as well.
This video is literally for me !
And I needed this as I was not even studying in the morning and getting up late and then felt less motivated as my half day was wasted!
Thanks for this Mariana ❤️
My best change in our morning routine has been to simply ask the kids what they want for breakfast the night before and then set the breakfast table before we go to bed. To keep our mornings as streamlined as possible has been a game changer! As for myself I should definitely consider the have a different theme for every day to stay motivated 💕
Thanks for sharing!
I read (and made a video on) "Atomic Habits" recently and I think you applied it perfectly!
Creating a routine is about more than just doing stuff over and over; it's about designing something that works for you that you also enjoy doing as a result!
Awesome video.
my favorite activity in the morning is sleeping
This is the most practical morning routine video I have seen to date. Thank you, Mariana, for making it sound so relatable.
I think this is so far the best video I've seen on morning routines. Thank you so much, you explained so simply and well some problems I've been facing.
no way, i also use fitness blender and have gotten results from them when i'm consistent. i love how buffer time sounds! i will try it 💓
No matter what topic it is, you always bring something amazing and motivating.
Mariana thank you for always inspiring and motivating me with your videos💜
Fantastic video, makes me wanna start a morning routine that will actually make me excited for the mornings. I’m not a morning person and waking up usually triggers my anxiety which affects negatively my entire day. I hope I can find a routine that will make life easier. Thanks for the inspiration.
fixed habits and variable ones! new concept for me! but makes sense, I was being hard on myself trying to build habits from last year, it was going well but everything changed with the pandemic and I lost it all because I wanted to keep up and have all be perfect
I needed this video, lately I was really stressed out about my morning routine. loved all the tips!
I don’t know what’s bring me to this video. I’m studying and tired rn but your video really encouraged me to improve my morning routine. This video makes sense for me. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙏🏻 💕
I love the idea of themed habits. We set such unflexible expectations most of the time for ourselves that it's almost funny. Thank you for sharing !! ♥
I literally day before yesterday morning I was thinking why my morning routine is not been successful. Thank you for this video. Stay safe... keep motivating
The way she says Morning is just
So soothing ♥️
I LOVE the buffer time tip and themed days tip. Looking forward to integrating these.
here's the thing.. i literally always wake up at 3am, and always do the same thing every morning, but.. it's always hard for me to do the things like working out at 5am or study at 4am that i promised myself to do, i just always ended up reading stories or comics or watching youtube or the most productive one is yoga. so here i am hoping this vid will help :)
you should try blocking the websites you get distracted by. it helps a lot.
@@charliethomlin6434 that's a great idea! thanks
1. find the things that really excite you
2. consider a weekly routine instead of daily
3. cut back on wasted time
This is hands down my favorite video you have made! Thank you!
One of the best morning routine videos i have seen. I honestly think this approach will be the difference in achieving my early mornings.
I love your tips! I have been struggling with sticking to a consistent morning routine. Thank you for saying “stop the guilt trip”. Best advice today! I shall try the themed days!
One of the best videos about productivity that I've seen. Thanks for sharing great content!
your videos are so helpful and amazing I truly don't have words to appreciate your efforts
Mariana, I genuinely love you and your content! Thank you for giving us such awesome, detailed information and having the most pleasant voice tone to hear
Thank you for this! I've been trying to get my messy life together and I usually start my day with playing game. I used to be guilty about it because it seemed uncommon. But I find that I'm more motivated to do my work after I played for 1/2 hour, did my bed, fed my cat, did laundry and cleaned house. I wake up at 630am and start working at 930am. And themed days sound great! I'll try to incorporate it into my schedule. Thank you
This is one of the best morning routine videos I’ve seen. Thank you!
This video is probably the best I've seen on productivity! Thank you very much 🌹
Oh wow I needed this. I’ve been struggling with not liking my morning routine.
Seeing Oathbringer on your table just made me really excited since it’s less than a month until Rhythm of War is released 🤗
Thank you, I thought no one would comment about it.
My morning routine during school:
1) Wake up at 7;30 AM
2) Turn off my iPad alarm, check the weather, and put on some lofi
3) Get dressed into day clothes
4)Make my bed
5) Say good morning to my mum and ask whats for breakfast
6) Brush my hair and teeth
7) Eat breakfast
8) Fill up my waterbottle, put on socks and shoes and go on a small walk
9) come back, do my Duolingo lesson
10) Check my Gmail and log into ZOOM meeting at 8;40 AM
I wrote this down because this video helped me so much to create this structured routine! New sub
Thank you Mariana !! I needed this. 💓💓
Your content is so creative. So cool. Never felt bored.
This is an amazing guide for someone who lives alone. I believe that the people who have children or big families in a tight space have fewer possibilities to have the time as organized as shown.
your videos are always so helpful, tyy Mariana!! :)
Thank you so much for this wonderful and helpful video❤️❤️❤️❤️ Increased the level of expectations from you. You go girl🔥
This was amazing
What a great video. I now know some of the mistakes I've been making in my morning routine
The video is really helpful, but I want to say that this is one of the most beautiful works I've seen. Just perfect 🤗
i saw the stormlight archive book there...reading words of radiance myself rn!! nice knowing you read these too
Hey Mariana thank you a lot for this video ❤️❤️
Amazing !your content is getting better day by day . Thanks a lot for this one.
Took me some time but, for me, it's add. Knowing that your brain just responds differently to new routines then other brains do helps so much.
Yeeesss!!! I really needed to hear this!!! Every morning routine I ever created have failed because they weren't flexible at all!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful tips!!🥰
I really needed this video ....Thankyou 🤗
Wow what an amazing video, this motivated me so much. Thank you!💖
This video is my favorite video ever!!! I am lately having problems while managing my whole morning routine with Online School, And now, Mariana has "Cozily" Motivated me to attend classes "Cozily" just like her. Squeeeeee!!!! 😆😆
Thank you so much for this ❤️
BESTTT VIDEO I SAW ON THIS TOPIC. THANKYOU SO MUCH.
hey Mariana, can you make a video over managing personal expenses and saving? That might be a good video.
Thank You so much. All your videos are truly helpful. Thanks a lot
I really like the idea of themed routines. there are days I want to read more, meditate more, or research more. that's perfect. I don't know why I never thought of it. Also, I literally just started using notion. I'm still learning my way around it and how I can implement it into my productivity.
I love your Videos! They are so helpful!
Another great video - thank you! I was looking for some fresh ideas for my morning/evening routines. I had not heard of 'Notion,.' I'll be checking it out.
What a great video!
I will start applying much of it starting tomorrow morning.
Already planned it! ;)
Thank You!
Love the idea of shifting to a weekly routine mentality instead of daily.
Thank you for sharing!
wow i love this. it makes so much sense. you have helped so much :) thank you for this video
This exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much!! ✨✨
Glad it was helpful!
Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination
You fell like a big sis ive never had. But so much needed🥺
My routine recently:
7:30 alarm goes off - press snooze every 10 minutes
8:50 realise I have 10 minutes until work starts and rush around getting ready/making a drink whilst I load up my computer
I loved the idea of "themed days". I think it will make me look foreward to each day! So far I've taken your "reset day" as the first day of my week, to plan the week ahead and catch up with whatever i couldn't do the week before, as well as a "reading day". I've added a "yoga morning" day (which I'm planning to fill up with some yoga/mindfulness related activities) and a "nature walk" (which I'll take just to walk to the park, with no hurry or intention of doing cardio, etc. Just to enjoy it).
Does anyone else have good theme days ideas??
This is a very nice video with some helpful tips!
Great video Mariana .Luved u and ur content.
Espectacular, justo el tipo de video que buscaba ver en estos momentos
I really appreciated this video thank you !❤️❤️
I have such a hard time waking up in the morning and start studying EVEN IF I SLEEP 8+ hours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you for videos Mariana!
Thank you so much for this video. Seriously needed this.:)
Glad it was helpful!
theme days sound wonderful to me! I think this is the thing I need the most to incorporate into my routine.
I am so happy I watched this!!
I just making my physics study guide and this was more than a treat 😊🤧
Love the quality of your videos
One thing that really helped me stick with my morning routine is actually figuring out the things I need to do in order to feel ready to start my day, as opposed to doing the things I *thought* I *should* be doing
