Start the Day on Your Own Terms
The best morning routine isn’t the one that leads to more productivity. It’s the one that actually works for your life

The point is: the morning can easily get sidetracked, and that can be problematic, as it’s a period of a few minutes that can define the rest of your waking hours.
Fortunately, the “right” morning routine is the one that works with how you wake up, not against it, whether you’re an early morning phone checker or not.
