I want to take it a little bit differently today and focus on what you should and focus on what you should stop doing in your morning routine.
I’m going to break down five different things that you should stop doing when you wake up in the morning if you’re doing them.
Checking Social Media
You need to stop this for two important reasons.
First, if you make checking social media the first action of the day. Then the first action of your day is giving into a craving for curiosity and that counteracts all the work you’ve been doing to build your focus muscle.
By contrast, if you wait a little bit before you check those feeds and maybe do some other things like breakfast, or read a book.
It tells your brain that, yes you have to wait before you can go check all those social media feeds.
Second, if you’re anything like me, you tend to just grab the phone and start checking your feeds in bed.
You intend to only check your feeds for about five minutes but you end up looking at them for 20 minutes.
