072. Win Your Morning: 6 Simple Habits That Make the Whole Day Easier
Manage episode 501118873 series 3567650
Early alarms + school rush don’t have to mean foggy, frantic mornings. In this episode, I'm sharing the six small “levers” that reliably flip my mornings from groggy to calm and focused—no perfection required.
You’ll learn how to:
- 📵 Phone fast for 10–15 minutes to protect your attention and stop the doom-scroll before it starts
- 🧭 Use a simple Get-Going habit (coffee, unload the dishwasher, feed the dog) to beat sleep inertia and start your “target behavior”
- ☀️ Get natural light ASAP to reset your clock (even 5–10 minutes helps)
- 🏃♀️ Move a little (walk the dog, stretch, a few squats) to lift mood and energy
- 🧒 Set a positive tone with kid checklists so you’re not the household reminder system
- 😴 Prioritize sleep (and ditch the snooze button) so everything else gets easier
Here's what you can try this week:
Pick any two levers (e.g., phone fast + light) and run them for 7 days. Let tiny wins stack.
