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.

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

Let’s get into the bullet journal planning nitty-gritty!
