Why start like this?
It's better.

The corona plague disrupted the agenda for all of us and also greatly changed the way our morning looked.
It’s a little hard to maintain some sort of morning routine, when the rest of our lives are completely out of reset.
But now that the end seems to be on the horizon and we are slowly returning to a kind of routine, even if new - there are quite a few people who feel the need for some kind of awakening that will help them re-enter the pace of life.
The morning routine is a great place to start, and small changes and adjustments you make to it can greatly benefit you in the sense of energy that will accompany you throughout the day.
But why come positive?
Let's start first, from what you do not do well.
Here are 7 mistakes you can make in the morning and can ruin your day:

Morning types have two significant benefits
To the full article
1. You force yourself to get up early
In interviews with very accomplished people there is always the stage where one is amazed at the super efficiency of the interviewee, who gets up every day at 4:30 am to get enough yoga practice, before scattering all their million children into frameworks and continuing to their super entrepreneurial and successful work.
But the truth is that this part of getting up early to get more done does not work for everyone.
This part of getting up early and getting more done is not working for everyone.

Each and every one of us is wired a little differently and there are people who can get up at 10 in the morning and still be no less productive than those who get up at 5:00.
What really matters is how goal-oriented you are once you are up and running.
If your schedule allows you to, try experimenting: play around with your morning wake-up times, and see which one works best for you.
You may find that waking up a little later actually spurs you to do more during the day.
2. You start the day in 'Response Mode'
The first thing many of us do right after they open their eyes in the morning, is look at our cell phone.
This action automatically puts us in 'response mode' - explains Graham Alcott, author of the book "How to Be a Productivity Ninja" in a conversation with the Huffpost website.
This is in contrast to the 'proactive state', which is the desired state.
An example of a proactive start to the day is, for example, to spend a few minutes and think about what you hope to achieve during this day, even before you open the smartphone where your schedule is, the to-do list, emails, etc. The goal is to start the day with independent prioritization of goals and goals. Your Nada, even before you encounter the desires and agendas of all the other people in your life.

3. You do not change clothes
Most of us have only encountered this dilemma in the last year - the corona year - but for some of the people who have worked from home before, it is a familiar matter.
Do you get up in the morning for more work from home and wonder why bother to get out of your pajamas?
"Dressing like a very helpful person. There is a concept in psychology called enclothed cognition that shows that the brain functions differently when wearing a suit, or for example that intelligence scores are higher when the examinee wears a lab coat - even when he himself is not a scientist," explains Bir. .
Try to replace your pajamas with a suit in the morning, even if you do not feel like it.
Or at least in jeans and a formal shirt.
Studies show that it can affect concentration levels, even if this effect is symbolic.

4. You do not eat or drink
We will not go into the discussion here about the status of breakfast as the most important meal of the day, but it is important.
Even if not the best.
Without eating and drinking in the morning it will be more difficult for your body and mind to mobilize the energy needed for everything that is on your agenda later in the day.
The nutritionists' recommendation is to eat a balanced meal in the morning in terms of carbohydrate and protein content, but the most important thing is to go for something practical that you have a chance of being able to prepare and also eat it in the morning, which is a stressful time frame for most people.
So if you have time, you can invest in pancakes or omelets, but if not - even a slice of bread with cheese is great.
And one more thing, do not forget to drink.
Fluids are an important component in our ability to concentrate and be efficient.
The brain is an organ that is directly affected by the fluid balance in the body and studies show that even a slight dehydration can impair mood, memory, concentration and organizational abilities.
5. You're trying to do too many things at once
When your day starts with a long to-do list that you wish to reach the end, it is very tempting to try to hold a few balls in the air to shorten processes and everyone really likes to sanctify multitasking.
And come on, some of us have no choice but to do so - especially if your life involves some intense anchors like kids, work, school, etc.
But where you can, try to focus on one task at a time.
Because quantity can come at the expense of quality sometimes.
Even toast with white cheese is fine.

Keep in mind that we are already so used to a life where our focus is split between several things at once at any given moment, that it can take your brain a few weeks to re-adapt to a situation where it is focused on only one thing at a given time, but try to persevere until you get used to it.
6. You do not prepare in advance what is possible the night before
The last thing any of us want to do at the end of a long and tedious day is to think that another day is about to start in a few hours.
But if you manage to get yourself to do it anyway, you will find that it can help you be more efficient and in return you will also have a little more time to rest.
Try to make a list of tasks open for tomorrow, at the end of each work day.
Then review your hard schedule the next day - aiming for pre-arranged meetings, meetings and things that are less flexible, and tentatively embedding the open tasks in the time windows you have that day.
Another thing you can invest in at the end of the day for a better and more efficient tomorrow - quality sleep Lack of sleep will definitely affect your efficiency and ability to concentrate.
7. You do not give yourself time to relax
Controllers can be a very chaotic part of the day - these are short periods of time where we often try to accomplish a lot of tasks, both for ourselves and for others (children, anyone?).
If you start your morning in a stressed and crazy tone it can dictate the feeling of the rest of the day and roll like a snowball.
Try to give yourself a quiet time in the morning, even if it means quite a few minutes.
For one it can be 5 minutes of meditation, and for another just sit for 5 minutes with a cup of coffee and drink it leisurely, or take the dog for a short morning walk.
