How do you start your day?

byβ€’

First thing I do is open my weekly planner to see what's waiting for me today.

Then I play a chess game:

If I win, I feel awake and ready for a productive day.

If I lose... I force myself to be productive anyway πŸ˜‚

What about you? How do you start your day?

I used to always start my day on my phone doom scrolling but now I am trying to cut back on that and read a few pages of a book first thing in the morning. Still not consistent with it but hopefully I could make this into a habit for every day

Β What book are you reading?

right now im working through crime and punishment

I have 3 important things to do every morning !

1. Coffee
2. Coffee
3. Coffee

Β πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ wasnt expecting this answer

Β haha =D

I always start with a cup of coffee. I feel like you can’t have a bad day if you do.

There’s a theory that our brains can operate in different modes that can’t coexist, including "manager" and "executor" mode.

In the morning, I activate my grumpy, reluctant inner manager, who plans the day for the executor.


Once the planning is done, the manager feels relieved. Then the executor has no choice but to follow the plan, because the manager is the boss :)

Β what do you use to plan your day/week

First, I eat breakfast while watching my β€œcurrent” TV show on Netflix. Then I check my calendar to refresh my memory on the day's appointments, then I read and reply to emails, and then I actually get to work on my tasks 😁

Β what tv show are you actually watching ? πŸ˜‚

Β I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I love Korean dramas... 🀭 the ones that mix business and romance. Right now, I'm watching β€œTake charge of my Heart” on Netflix.
