1. Have an Early Start

If you want to have a productive day ahead of you, you have to make sure that you start your day as early as you can. Starting the day early has several benefits.

Your mind is more alert in the early hours of the day as compared to later hours. That’s because the world around you is a lot quieter at this time since most of the people around you are still sleeping.

With fewer distractions around you, it's easier to focus on your work better at this time of the day. Also, starting your day earlier means that you have more time to focus on the important tasks and get them done even before your actual day begins.

2. Make your Bed

It's important for you to make your bed the moment you wake up in the morning. You might think that it's something that you can do later in the day too. But making your bed right in the morning helps you set the tone for the rest of the day.

Sure you can do that later too. But if your bed is not done, every time you look at it, you’ll be lured to get back into it. This will make you feel lazy and stop you from starting the day on a productive note.

But when you give yourself the push and make your bed, you get a feeling of accomplishment. This motivates you to continue working throughout the day and accomplish more tasks one after the other.

It’s a great habit to make you feel productive, reduce your stress and start your day on a positive note.

3. Do Some Exercise

The benefits of starting the day with exercise are immense. It not only benefits you physically but mentally as well.

Morning exercises reduce distractions and help you make better decisions. It also helps you boost your metabolism and makes you stay active throughout the day. And not just that, at the end of the day when you go back, it will help you have a better and peaceful sleep too.

So do some exercises before you start your day. You can practice some yoga, do some basic workout sessions or even go for a walk if you want. It helps you set your mind and body into action and helps you start your day on a fresh note.

4. Don’t Check your Mobile

It is definitely tempting to check your mobile phone the moment you wake up in the morning. But try to limit your digital distractions when you’re just out of your bed. If you check your phone, you’ll also be tempted to check your social media notifications.

This can be really dangerous. Nothing can be more distracting than scrolling through your social media feed in the morning. You might think that you’ll not spend more than 5 minutes on it. But when you start doing it, you would surely want to continue scrolling.

By the time you’re done, you’ll realize that you have already wasted the precious hours of your morning doing nothing but checking people’s social media updates.

If you don’t want that to happen, keep your phone away from you. And don’t try to reach out to it before you complete your entire morning ritual.
