Wake Up, Sleepyhead!

31 Days of Order - Day 10

I knew it would come up sooner or later. Guess today's the day.

I was minding my own business, catching up on other blogs and BOOM. There it was. Becoming More Productive by Reengineering Your Morning Ritual by Michael Hyatt. Listen to it. It's good.

My morning ritual. Oh, I have a ritual, all right. It's easy and cozy. It's mine. Wake up when I do. Start the water for my coffee press. Feed the cats. Start the computer. Drink my coffee in front of the computer. Start school with Silas after he gets up and has breakfast. My morning ritual is extremely relaxed and just plain lazy. Consequently, it sets the tone for the rest of my day.

Gone are the days when the kiddos wake me at the crack of dawn to make them breakfast. Everyone who lives in the house right now is self-sufficient. I am privileged to enjoy freedom in my schedule I have longed for and only dreamed of 10 - 20 years ago.

The blog title grabbed my attention. "Becoming More Productive...." I want - need - a higher level of productivity and know my morning routine is feeding the opposite.

Listening intently to Mr. Hyatt's podcast, his instruction and example resonated with my desire to bring more order to my life.

Let the reengineering of my morning ritual begin. This is going to be fun!

What does your morning routine look like? Are you happy with it or is there room for improvement?

Quick project updates....the kitchen corner clutter is being tamed and the cat re-training has begun. So far, so good.
