4. Add a Dose of Quiet

Even two minutes of silence — no music, no screens — can reset your mental space. It’s not meditation; it’s just a moment to catch up with yourself before the noise of the day begins.

5. Choose Your Focus

Instead of listing 20 tasks, pick one priority and one pleasure. It might be “finish that report” and “grab coffee with a friend.” That small mix of purpose and joy keeps the day balanced.

Summary

You don’t need a perfect morning routine — just one that feels like yours. Because when your first hour starts with intention, the rest of the day tends to follow.
