Mornings are generally not my favorite time of day. I love my sleep and I tend to be a bit slow to go from “my eyes are open” to “I’m ready to do the things.” And it’s not hard for me to get super grouchy if something throws me off.

So I’m a big proponent of making sure I do a few simple things to give myself a little happiness boost in the mornings. They’re all super easy, requiring little to no effort on my part, but they make sure that my morning runs smoothly. And that makes the rest of my day better, too.

I’m offering these tips to you today because for many, morning routines have changed dramatically. There’s no longer a commute to work because you’re working from home. The kids are going to school at home now, so you don’t have that out the door rush anymore. For some, unemployment has become a reality that has created some depression and frustration with daily life and sapped motivation to do anything.

But if you can get your morning a little happier, you’ll get more done, feel better about yourself and your productivity, and enjoy even the most mundane, repetitive tasks even more.

Get up on time or even early
