Most of us will be agreeing to the fact that morning alarm is pretty much annoying. Especially to snap the snooze button multiple times before it goes off. But the scariest part of all; when the snooze button goes off and we’re late to either school, work or any appointments that morning. Do you know that morning is the most crucial time to set your whole day right?
Let’s take a look at how successful people manage their time and why their morning is the most important part of the day. It has proven to be effective, productive and good way to kick start your day. What’s more exciting to feel the ecstatic in conquering the world in the morning when you are 100% energized and ready?
1. Wake Up Early.
This is rule number 1. I know it is going to be very hard if you are someone who love to snooze your alarm. But every new beginning starts with a decision to try. Successful people know that their time is precious and they will never compromise on waking up earlier than the ordinary people. That extra time you have in the morning will determine how your whole day will turn out to be.
Keep your morning routine for yourself, for you to refresh yourself, and if possible do not jump into checking your whatsapp or any social network first thing in the morning. If you do have a journal, you can summarize your entire to-do list again in a small notepad to manage your expectations on how you are going to arrange your time. Or if you have journal this down the night before, take a look at it for approximately 5 minutes to digest the things you need to for the day. Some successful keep a ‘morning journal/morning pages’ with them, to write down everything that is running in their head every morning, it can be any new ideas and let it flow straight to the pages.
The reason this is done is when you are awake very fresh, you might at times have various extraordinary ideas and you do not want to forget them, so you journal it for future references. One best example that we can follow is the CEO of Pepsi.co; Indra Nooyi wakes up at 4 a.m every morning! #Get Set To Wake Up Early!#
2. Drink Water/Lemon Water.
A very interesting tip to follow the successful people is they drink water every morning in a large glass or better still lemon water. If you are a coffee or tea person, I know it is very alluring to reach out for coffee; but it is not a healthy practice especially the first thing in the morning. Water first; coffee later.
It is very important to nourish your body and mind to do great things at the start of the day and that is the reason drinking water in the morning helps your body to stay hydrated, feels more relaxed and energized and it will boost your metabolism throughout the day. It also helps in flushing out the toxins.

3. Work Out/Meditate.
Most of successful people spend time each morning either to work out or meditate as this particular technique takes a lot of initiative and willpower in the morning to make you more productive throughout the day. Keeping yourself fit and being healthy is very crucial, as when you feel great it will make it easier for you to rock your day. I know most of us will not have the time to hit the gym in the morning [we definitely can do this latter part of the day], however you can do simple stretch within your room space to allow the blood circulation in your body.
Making exercise as the priority list in the morning is an amazing way to set yourself up in the morning as you will be halfway exhausted by the time you end your day to hit the gym.
Another beautiful practise that most successful to do is to meditate every morning for at least 5 minutes. This eliminates the negative thoughts, worries and all other factors that will prevent a person from feeling happy and in a positive state of mind. People who meditate often generally lead a happier lifestyle compared to those as it simply allows the flow of constructive thoughts and positive emotions. Have a great time meditating! #Don’t Forget to Sweat Out!#
4. Make Healthy Breakfast.
Successful people know the benefit of having breakfast in the morning and they will not skip their meal. It is very crucial to nourish your body and inject healthy meal before you start your day to make you feel less stressed and of course your tummy will not be growling before you hit your lunch. Aim for healthy protein or mix of fibre in the morning to help you feel fuelled.
Our metabolism works better in the morning. This means, your body will be able to turn all the calories you eat for breakfast to energy when you hit the day. So you don’t have to worry that you are going to put on weight in the morning. [That will not happen if you are consuming healthy breakfast]. Research shows that eating bigger meals later in the day often leads to weight gain and not a healthy breakfast.
Skipping your breakfast is not going to be helpful as you will be over-eating later anyways. If you want to maintain high level of energy in the morning – #Go For Healthy Breakfast!#
5. Planning and Strategizing The Day
Setting, planning and strategizing in the morning have always been a well-established execution by most successful people. Planning up the day in advance can help them in adjusting their time and schedule arrangement to achieve daily goals as well as to prioritize the to-do-list. Thus, this is a time that needs to be used to anticipate any challenges that may arises latter in the day and to plan ahead.
Some of them will also plan up things for the entire week or month if they need to. Planning the day leads to a smoother and manageable flow on your daily tasks. This can also be the time you write down your daily goals in your journal to refresh your memory and your small steps towards your ultimate goals. You can also start checking your mails or appointment list and sync your planner based on the appointments that you have arranged or any future plans you have by managing the time.
Always remember to have a plan B for any pre-planned appointments that you have. You might run into cancelled appointments, and you do not want to be non-productive during that hour. The plan B will keep you occupied and you can at least do productive tasks. #Let’s Not Waste Any Time!#
