In this episode of The Localist, host Carrie Rollwagen addresses common misconceptions and challenges related to establishing and maintaining a morning routine. She debunks the myth that morning routines are only for morning people, sharing her own experience as a naturally night-oriented person who has successfully adopted a morning routine due to work requirements. She emphasizes that feeling serene and perfect during a morning routine is not always realistic and that the primary goal should be to accomplish priorities rather than achieve a state of tranquility. Carrie also highlights that morning routines should be adaptable to life’s changes, such as shifts in workload, family responsibilities and even seasonal variations.
Carrie provides several practical tips for sticking to a morning routine, especially for those who may struggle with consistency. She suggests incorporating elements of enjoyment into the routine to make it more appealing, rather than filling it with tasks one feels obligated to do. Planning aspects of the morning routine the night before can also make the process smoother and more efficient.
