This was a delight! I appreciate enjoying following your life and also your honesty. I have been trying to do this whole no phone thing, but I haven't found a good one that works for me and for the hubs. I've been waking up around 5:20 (just before my alarm) the last few weeks anyhow, though. I think I can start backing it up soon. Hoping to get to 5:00 and not feeling groggy 85% of those by the end of August. I haven't pre-made breakfast a few days in a row, though. And wow, what a difference that makes!
@@justanotherelizabeth love a good grab and go brekkie! And since we're being honest... My morning wake up time varies daily between 5-530, sometimes even to 630 depending on how I'm feeling. It's all about being flexible and kind to yourself! As you well know ❤️
I love this video! thank you so much! it is very interesting to see how other people organize their day and are productive. I was having a not super productive day so it was good to hear I am not the only one who needs a take-it-easy day!!! I already have a good morning routine and i get up early but I will set up time for myself! and make little progress! PS I love getting books too!!!!
I love the idea of getting up a little earlier to get some writing in, but when I do, I can NOT get my brain to engage. Did you have that problem? I love the idea of no phone zone. I'll have to give that a try.
@@cristincarter1 This is a great topic! Thank you for bringing it up Cristin! I'm gonna have to do a video about it soon... Because I definitely have some ideas. But yeah I think I've been writing early for so long it just feels natural for me now. Though there are still days where it's hard definitely to get the motor running. On those days I try to have as few distractions as possible and be gentle with myself. Also focus music helps. And my ritual of making tea. I think the tea is a good cue for my brain to start working!
