Productive Mornings 101

By: Regina Quiroga

Coffee

I’ll be honest—I’m not a morning person. I’ve hit snooze more times than I should and have

sacrificed breakfast just to get a few extra minutes of sleep. But over time, I’ve realized that how I start my morning sets the tone for the rest of my day.


If you struggle to get out of bed, here are four simple yet effective hacks to make your mornings smoother and more productive.


Prioritize Quality Sleep


Not getting enough sleep isn’t always the reason we wake up feeling exhausted—sometimes, the quality of sleep matters just as much as the quantity. One way to improve sleep quality is by using mouth tape, which encourages nasal breathing, leading to deeper and more restorative sleep. When you wake up well-rested, getting out of bed feels much easier.


Block Out Disruptions with an Eye Mask


Light can be one of the biggest sleep disruptors, especially for light sleepers. Using an eye

mask can help create complete darkness, improving melatonin production and ensuring

uninterrupted rest. A good eye mask can make a significant difference in how well you sleep and, in turn, how refreshed you feel in the morning.


Plan Your Outfit the Night Before


This might sound simple, but picking out your clothes before bed can make your mornings far less stressful. When you’re barely awake, the last thing you want to do is spend time deciding what to wear. Preparing your outfit the night before saves time and makes getting ready effortless and much more enjoyable.


Start Your Day with Affirmations


The way you talk to yourself in the morning can set the tone for the entire day. Listening to

positive affirmations helps shift your mindset, boost confidence, and improve focus. A quick

10-minute affirmation session on Spotify can be enough to rewire your thoughts and start your day on the right foot. This recording from Habits of a Goddess is one of my favorites.

These small changes might not turn you into a morning person overnight, but they will help you wake up feeling more energized, organized, and ready to tackle the day. Give them a try and see how your mornings transform!Want more morning hacks, check out these articles:
