How you start your day reflects how your day will go.

“To begin, begin.”

-William Wordsworth

The morning is a special time of the day. It’s a starting point. Like Link in Legend of Zelda, who always starts his journey by waking from slumber, your “game day” begins by waking up. The choices you have after that are endless, but taper off during the day. You decide how you want it to begin, even on those days, you don’t feel in control.

Morning routines are regiments people follow to get the most out of their mornings, or how the topics they want to hit the most, and what better than tackling the hardest things at the beginning of the day. Early wins I say, but can have a great impact on your day.

My — current at the time of writing — morning routine looks like thing:

  • wake up
  • roll out of bed
  • yoga
  • fill kettle; grind coffee; clean french press; brew coffee; fill oatmeal; take vitamins
  • read emails/blogs; drink coffee; attempt to rise from slumber
  • setup my daily to-do list (if I forgot the night before)
  • do a bit of coding; tackle some major tasks for the day (early, big wins)
