I think iām gonna get back to no screen time first thing in the morning, maybe for like the first few hours upon me waking up? Bc I feel like my morning routine has been taking longer than it has to lol. I can make breakfast, get my makeup done quicker and be ready for work sooner with no distractions.

tbh I been struggling to have a proper morning routine bc Iām not a morning person. But I must convertā¦. My brain hurts from immediately frying it with my āroutineā iPhone doomscroll the moment I awaken.
what Iāve been doing to change this up and not feel absolutely fried is :
First, of all waking up.
Make my bed as well as I can.
Immediately washing my face & brushing my teeth. Throughout all of this, Iām also avoiding turning on any fluorescent lights and just using the peeking morning light as my guide. Then I make my breakfast in the peace n quiet :3!!
I try to not use my phone until 30-45 min after I wake up, and if I can go longer I will. Itās hard when everything regarding school / work & friends are on this little device :(.
This āroutineā may sound so normal to someoneā¦. but keeping this habit with a no phone routine is so helpful for me. Itās so important to get my āmundaneā but necessary tasks to jump start my day without any unnecessary stress to distract me from them. Cause especially during those days where the first thing I do is grab my phone, Iām completely thrown out of whack and living off of stress. I do things like get distracted, by an unexpected assignment or shift change, and forget to wash my face or drink water in the morningā¦ Then I feel out of whack.
So ya, what do you guys do to make your morning routine the way it is to set up your day?

just started a new routine where i have to go make myself a tea/coffee before i'm allowed on my phone in the morning. it really makes sure i'm awake and will hopefully help me spend less time doomscrolling, cuz the morning is always the worst time of day for me

during the week, my alarm goes off at 6:00 AM, somewhere between 6:00-6:30 is when I actually get out of bed depending on how up and at em Iām feeling.
Once iām up, I hop in the shower, get dressed n stuff, I make sure my cat has food and then I go make myself breakfast. I like to open the blinds, let the sun in, play some ambient music on my living room speakers, and try as much as possible not to look at my phone. I need my chill slow morning time to be at peace.
if I woke up right at my alarm, Iāll brew fresh coffee (french press) and make a nice egg scramble with an english muffin. If Iām in a hurry Iāll do moka pot or just get the extra coffee from the last time I brewed a batch from the fridge and have greek yogurt with granola. while I eat, Iāll sit at my kitchen counter and have some dedicated screen time on my laptop to check socials so Iām not tempted to be scrolling on IG the rest of the day. trying to leave bad screen at home.
after I have breakfast, if I have time iāll take care of anything around my apartment that needs doing (dishes, laundry, cleaning the cat litter, etc) and then brush my teeth, freshen up, then head out and start the morning commute (usually around 8-8:30 depending on if I need to be in office at 8:30 or 9). I also fill up my YETI mug with homebrew coffee and take it to work with me so Iām not buying coffee out all the time.
the morning commute is when I put on some more energetic music to hype me up, or if Iām in a rush Iāll play some calmer music to not stress about traffic to. whatever the vibe I need. then I get to the office and wage slave for 8-9 hours, but at least I got a good nightās sleep and a good morningās breakfast to get me through šāāļøšāāļø

Whenever it comes to friend hang outs, putting the whole day aside to spend time with each other is so essential.
