Stack Habits to Seize the Day
Implementing these simple hacks will turn chaos into momentum
Step 1 – Hydrate Your Body
Drink a full glass of water upon waking up. SERIOUSLY, GET UP! A quick hydration hit kickstarts metabolism, aids digestion, and starts waking up the body. Fight the urge to go straight for coffee, you’ll earn your cup soon.
Step 2 – Sunlight & Movement
Step outside and move your body. Exposure to morning sunlight signals to your circadian rhythm that it’s time to be alert. Add some light movement, a stretch, or a 10-minute mobility routine to connect the body to the mind.
Step 3 – Brew the Day Away
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Use a pour-over setup with some fresh beans from your local coffee roaster. Enjoy the ritual, take pride in your beans, and the process. As it brews, open a minimalist journal and write down your top 3 priorities for the day.
Wrap-up: Stack these habits and you’ll find yourself not just awake but ahead of the day. Your mornings will start to feel less like a scramble and more like a win streak.
Brownie Points: Try stacking these 3 habits prior to checking your phone. The world can wait 30 minutes.
