What you do in the morning really does set the tone for your entire day.

I’ve always kind of known this, but like any millennial, I have tried countless shortcuts to try to hack the system. Needless to say, nothing works. I hate to break it to you, but if you want to be productive, you have to get started immediately. Lounging for the first half of your day and then expecting to get stuff done in the second half just isn’t practical.

These are the 10 things I do pretty much every morning. I skip some steps on weekends, but overall I try to keep the timeframe as steady as possible. Knowing exactly what to to each morning is super helpful in getting me out of bed and off to do something, even if that “something” is just getting comfy on the couch with a good book.

This morning routine works amazingly well for me, and I know it can help you too!

I am the queen of bad habits. This is how to live your best life by ditching those toxic habits.

Unfortunately, sometimes we get so comfortable in our routines that we don’t notice they aren’t actually serving us anymore. Or maybe they never did in the first place.

All I wanted was to get more done in a day, to do more in life, and to be more “productive” person, whatever that even means anymore. This is what happens when you allow your quest for business perfection go too far. It took me a while, but I eventually realized that these 10 toxic habits weren’t doing me any favors, and I promised myself I’d make a change.
