Morning Habits

One really bad habit that I’ve recently redeveloped is checking my phone in the morning right when I wake up. I used to do this a lot, but was able to curb the habit during my last couple years,

It’s pretty easy to point out why I started this bad habit again. By the time I wake up between 6:30-7:30am, our team in Amsterdam is almost done with their workday. I get anxious thinking about what’s happened and if there’s anything pressing.

This is a terrible habit. I tend to stress myself out by overloading myself right when I wake up. Furthermore, I lose productivity. Rarely does much get done while I am in bed and instead of getting on with my morning routine, I procrastinate with no progress done.

It’s time I put my phone away and live in the present in the mornings. This isn’t a complicated experiment, but I can imagine I’m going to be much happier and productive. Looking forward to writing about the results soon.
