Getting Started
Our project, Well Begun is Half Done, starts tomorrow, and my plan is to spend the first week exploring different ideas on what constitutes a good morning routine. The idea being that a good morning routine is a big part of getting a good start to the day. My personal morning routine consists of the following:
- I wake up before the alarm and say to myself… “Oh God, pretty soon I’m going to have to get up.” Followed by a big sigh, a huge amount of inner resistance, and a sudden desire to sleep for the rest of the day.
- When the alarm actually does go off, I’m usually once again sound asleep, and very cranky about the idea of having to come out of my cocoon of wonderfulness.
- Finally, after hitting the snooze a couple of times, I am compelled to crawl out of bed. And at this point, I complain to myself about my messy kitchen, my messy bathroom, and the fact that I need to vacuum, clear out my clutter, do the laundry… it’s usually a long list of stuff I “should have” done yesterday and the day before.
- I then sit and stare mindlessly at the television and drink coffee until I absolutely HAVE to start getting ready for work.
- And then I run around doing absolutely the barest minimum necessary to head out the door and off to work.
- Right before I head out the door, I quick make my bed… because it always makes me feel just a tiny bit better about my morning.
So, as you can see, my morning routine needs a lot of help!
As I find and upload potential routines for a great start to the day, I’m going to make notes about what I like, what I think might actually work, and what I could begin to implement right away. My goal is that by week two, I will have a morning routine prototype to test and tweak.
If anyone has any ideas, or thoughts to contribute to the cause, I’d be very interested!
