Comment preview: This sounds like a great idea. I'd love to hear other people's suggestions. My morning routine right now is: 1. Hit snooze every 10 minutes for 1 hour. This is an an ab workout. 2. Swear a lot, tell myself repeatedly how stupid I am. This is a great br ....

Comment preview: Make my bed. Meditate 20 minutes. Eat a hard boiled egg and protein shake. Tell myself I love myself in the mirror, and that I will be productive today. Keep my head up and remember body posture, it will help throughout the day if you set the tone early mo ....


Comment preview: Don't over stimulate your brain before you go to bed. I usually start my bedtime routine at 10pm which may include showering, brushing teeth, putting my stuff out for the morning, setting my alarm, and picking out my clothes. This makes the morning easie ....


Comment preview: When it comes to the point where you've moved: Start making routines on everything, and don't slack on them. **Get rid of the "Ill do it later" mentality.** * Dust off the floors in the morning after you wake up. Its quick if you do it every day (max a cou ....


Comment preview: I was on a hair trigger every morning my sophomore year of high school. Report time for marching band was 6:50AM and after a several weeks, I had gotten my wake-up routine down to less than 15 minutes. I'd get up at 6:35, zombie walk to the bathroom, ea ....


Comment preview: I've just started a morning routine and find on the days I've completed it I feel more prepared for the day. I get up at 5:30, drink some lemon water and have a quick shower. I then do 20 minutes of yoga, followed by breakfast with a good magazine (The New ....


Comment preview: I brushed my teeth for a 20something consecutive time following a morning- evening brushing routine :D I know i am pathetic. EDIT: For anyone struggling to get into a routine, i want to say i am an ***extremely*** lazy person. In the morning i'd sit on ....


Comment preview: Oh man, bless you. That's spot-on. And oftentimes it's not just a problem of "this is not a cheeseburger, WTF." The fact that it is not a cheeseburger upsets the balance of *everything.* To someone with autism, a disruption in routine is a disruption in ro ....


Comment preview: It depends on whether or not passion is a part of that regular routine. For instance, I'm a big fan of making love in the morning (before my brain starts checking off to do lists), so my husband knows that so it's a part of our routine. Now, if you settle ....


Comment preview: This is also how people forget their babies in their cars. They have an established routine which does not include the baby (get in the car and go to work), but something happens and they have to vary from the routine (SO has a doctor appt, now you need to ....


Comment preview: a) there's a sub for this /r/GetOutOfBed. b) it boils down to (b.1) go to bed earlier. (b.2) just stop hitting snooze (yes, might be hard, but the other parts help.) (b.3) designate night-time and morning-time routines to facilitate this. Routines in ....


Comment preview: Maybe you should try establishing a routine. Like "at 7am each morning you take a shower. When you're done, I will take my shower." (Time can be changed to suit your daily schedule obviously.) Get him into the habit of it. The first few mornings (or evenin ....


Comment preview: About 8 years ago, I was living on my own while in college. I'm not a morning person (I get *really* sleep drowsy), and I tend to stay in bed as long as I can. To be able to keep this up, I had a very streamlined morning routine. So, I get through the rout ....


Comment preview: In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body ....


Comment preview: One of the highest voted comments/posts/whatever on reddit some years ago was a guy that learned that if he put a fresh, clean towel over his pillow every night, his absolutely horrible acne disappeared within a couple weeks. Also, side note: depending on ....


Comment preview: Do a very small routine, so small that it's almost difficult not to do it. Forget the recommended routine, it's just too long and you will never stick to it for long enough and consistently enough to make it become a habit. Don't do warmup, bodyline drills ....

Comment preview: > The guy would have a very good morning routine and busy schedule and very little time to spend with a whore. Wake up. Make yerba mate. 10 min meditation. Take modafinil. HIIT + minimalist full body lifting. Contrast shower. Set 5 min alarm for emails. ....


Comment preview: Yep, I was a competitive swimmer for ~15 years all the way through college. Once it ended, I found the whole concept of going to the gym to "work out" surprisingly foreign to me even though I'd been hardcore training 20 hours per week for years. When you'r ....


Comment preview: You get used to it but here's a story. I was living in DC directly across from another building. I had blinds but never kept them shut because ... actually I don't know why. Anyway, every morning I would wake up and a guy across the street woke up at ex ....
