Welcome to Routine in the Morning, the digital coffee shop for all things morning routines and then some!☀️
I’m Brian the friendly site admin (RITM_Admin), researcher, writer, and occasional snooze-button pusher. If you’ve ever wondered how a morning routine could transform your life—or if you’ve simply Googled “how to not hate mornings”—you’ve found your people.
Why This Blog Exists
It all started with my curiosity (and maybe a bit of desperation). I was tired of waking up like a groggy zombie, stumbling toward coffee, and calling that “a start.” I wanted more: more energy, more productivity, and—dare I say—more joy in my mornings.
So, I turned to research, experimenting with morning habits used by everyone from monks to CEOs to your yoga-loving neighbor who swears by green smoothies. Spoiler alert: their secrets are here, and I’ve tried most of them (even the questionable ones involving celery juice).
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is a hub for morning routine enthusiasts, skeptics, and the “I’ll start tomorrow” crowd. Whether you’re looking to kickstart productivity, achieve zen-level calm, or just survive until lunch, I’ve got you covered.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Practical Guides: Step-by-step routines for everyone from early risers to night owls trying to fake it.
- Product Reviews: Honest takes on gadgets, apps, and tools claiming to “revolutionize” your morning.
- Inspiration: Stories of people who’ve mastered mornings—and some who are still figuring it out.
- Humor: Because mornings are hard, and laughing at them makes it better.
Why Morning Routines?
Mornings are like the prologue to your day. Get them right, and the rest of your story flows better. Get them wrong, and, well… let’s just say I’ve spent too many afternoons wondering why I didn’t start the day with a plan.
Morning routines aren’t just about waking up earlier or drinking fancy tea (although I do love a good tea). They’re about intention—finding small, consistent habits that make your day better, whether that’s five minutes of journaling, a brisk walk, or just not scrolling Instagram first thing.
Meet the Researcher (That’s Me!)
I’m not a guru or a life coach. I’m just a regular person who geeks out over things like habit loops, productivity hacks, and the eternal debate: coffee vs. matcha. When I’m not testing new routines, you’ll find me:
- Binge-reading self-help books.
- Laughing at my own jokes (someone has to).
- Borrowing habits from millionaires and monks (but not nuns, as that could only lead to confusion).
