Most of us spend our days in meetings, at our desk, in transit, grabbing a quick bite, and maybe even binge-watching a few episodes of our favorite shows. It's a great way to have fun while building a new habit that's important to you. If you have habits that you want to build, don't just rely on motivation or pure force - deliberately think about the way you can use a regular daily activity to cue that action. For example, while you're brushing your teeth, use the time to think about your daily goals. Play a game with yourself, and cue the habit you want to develop. While you are distraction free, consider and confirm your expectations for the day. Really it can be 10 minutes of anything - except, of course, for technology. If this sounds like too much time, try breaking it down into 10-minute chunks: 10 minutes for reading, 10 minutes for thinking, praying, or meditating, 10 minutes for writing, a 10-minute workout, or a 10-minute ritual. Sit up, put your feet on the ground, and set the tone and intentions of your day.īefore you reach out for any type of device - and get bombarded by notifications, updates, tasks, newsfeeds, and noise - take the next 30 minutes of your day once you're out of bed to pause and reflect. So, before you get out of bed every morning, take the first couple of minutes to ground yourself. Jumping straight out of bed and into action likely won't help you begin your morning in the right mindset - but starting off in a calm and organized way probably will.
Instead of reaching straight for your phone or thinking about the vast to-do list you want to get done, focus on being thoughtful about how you spend the first few moments of your day.
