One switch for more relaxed mornings

✅ Today’s tip: Get a real, non-phone alarm clock.

Wake up, smash the “off” button on your alarm app, doomscroll the morning’s news — sound like a familiar ritual?

Well. With a sense of renewal in the air right now, there’s no better time to change the default opening to your day. Paul Greenberg’s advice: Get yourself an alarm clock. “The moments between sleeping and waking are the times when we are most in touch with our subconscious, and thus precious for creativity,” Greenberg writes. When you remove the temptation to check your phone first thing in the morning, you can linger in those moments a little longer, and start your day on a calmer note.
