Not worrying about picking out a different work-appropriate outfit every day and skipping a long commute are just two of the ways remote workers save time and reduce their stress in the mornings. But what are some other adjustments you can put to use to get your day started in the best way possible when you work from home? Here are 19 morning routine hacks to get your day going when you work remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-do-as-much-as-you-can-the-night-before\"><strong>1. Do as much as you can the night before<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best morning routines actually start the night before. The more you can do the evening before, the less you\u2019ll have to face in the already-hectic morning. Making kids\u2019 lunches, packing backpacks, and laying out school clothes the night before can go a long way in making your mornings smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-unbusy-your-brain\"><strong>2. Unbusy your brain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the busyness of the day, sometimes it can be hard to calm your mind to the point that you can fall asleep easily and get restful sleep. One of the best morning routine hacks is to do a brain dump the evening before so you can get everything out of your head and get a good night\u2019s sleep. It doesn\u2019t have to be anything elaborate \u2014 just take a piece of paper and write out anything and everything that comes to your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can include things the kids need to take to school with them the next day, forms that need to be signed, groceries or school supplies that need to be purchased, appointments that need to be scheduled or rescheduled, or projects that you need to focus on at work or around the house. The trick here is not to get wrapped up in the planning of the items on your list \u2014 instead, just get them out of your head and onto a piece of paper so you can fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-get-enough-sleep\"><strong>3. Get enough sleep<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one can be tricky, as we all know. There are only so many hours in the day, and trying to fit everything in can be challenging most days. But getting enough sleep is one of the most important morning routine hacks \u2014 if not <em>the<\/em> most important \u2014 when you work from home. It can be tempting to stay up an hour later just to get some quiet time after the kids are in bed, but the more sleep you can get, the easier it will be to wake up in the morning, and the better you will feel as you get your day going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_c457b3db-4699-4777-85fe-054ba55212e7\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-1024x536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-1024x536.png\" alt=\"transformative tips for moms with wah jobs facebook image\" class=\"wp-image-552964\" style=\"width:467px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2023\/11\/30TransformativeTipsforMomswithWAHJobsAndThoseWhoWantOne1200-628.png 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/remote-working-tips\/30-transformative-tips-for-moms-with-wah-jobs-and-those-who-want-one\/\">For all the super moms out there, we\u2019ve got 30 transformative tips that promise to simplify, enrich, and revitalize your work-at-home journey<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_d6ba6785-712c-48c8-ba0b-7847c230b9e3\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-wake-up-earlier\"><strong>4.

Don\u2019t hit snooze<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it can feel good to just rest for five more minutes before you need to get up. And if using that time is your version of meditating or starting the day with a mindful moment, then maybe it\u2019s worth it to you. But don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that hitting the snooze button actually allows you to sleep more because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/snooze-button-sleep-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all it\u2019s really doing is confusing your brain<\/a>.

It\u2019s such an easy way to start your day with a win. In fact, this advice became a viral sensation after <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jflUvxQLkgs\">Admiral William H. McRaven spoke about it during his commencement address<\/a> at the University of Texas at Austin that it became a bestselling book soon after. As Admiral McRaven said, \u201cIf you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-don-t-check-your-phone-or-work-email-first-thing-in-the-morning\"><strong>7. Don\u2019t check your phone or work email first thing in the morning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us are victims of habit, and this is one of the worst ones. Since many of us use our phones as our alarm clocks, it can be easy to pick up the phone to turn off the alarm, and then jump right over to email or social media and start scrolling. But this is also the easiest way to derail your productivity before your day even begins. Turn off your alarm and then keep your phone silenced and out of your hand as you go through your morning routine. Those work emails will wait until you\u2019re on the clock, and the social media updates can wait until you need a quick brain break later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_091c18f1-4499-4330-8ef6-b8c76afcdbef\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-1024x436.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-300x128.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-768x327.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-1536x654.webp 1536w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-2048x872.webp 2048w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-260x111.webp 260w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-383x163.webp 383w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-1024x436.png\" alt=\"Learn how meditation can benefit you as a remote worker.\" class=\"wp-image-288872\" style=\"width:552px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-1024x436.png 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-768x327.png 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-1536x654.png 1536w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-2048x872.png 2048w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-260x111.png 260w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/01\/MeditationBenefitsandGuideForRemoteWorkers-383x163.png 383w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/telecommuting-survival\/meditation-benefits-remote-workers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Remote work will not solve all of your problems.

Take a mindful moment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to break that phone habit first thing in the morning is by replacing it with something else. Instead of scrolling for five to 10 minutes, use that time to begin your day in a more mindful way. It can be as easy as doing a quick five-minute guided meditation you find on YouTube. You can also just close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and visualize your successful day ahead as you listen to the birds sing outside your window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-drink-a-glass-of-water\"><strong>9.

Before you dive into that pot of coffee, quench your body\u2019s thirst by drinking a glass of water.

Before you know it, it\u2019s four hours later and you have to rush to get your teeth and hair brushed before your video call starts in five minutes. Take care of basic hygiene as soon as you wake up and you won\u2019t be caught off guard if someone wants to hop on a quick call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-11-put-on-real-clothes\"><strong>11. Put on real clothes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, one of the many benefits of working from home is being able to wear whatever you want, whenever you want \u2014 including pajamas. But one of the best morning routine hacks for remote workers is to actually get dressed in real clothes. Just like dressing students in uniforms at school can positively impact their behavior, dressing in \u201creal\u201d clothes can help you feel more professional and ready to get to work. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to wear clothes that you would wear to a regular office job, but definitely get out of those pajama pants and see what it does for your productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_22b8f5f7-23a7-429c-9a20-bb729ea2136b\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-1024x536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-563463\" style=\"width:486px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2018\/06\/HowtoReduceSedentaryHealthRisksfromSittingataDeskAllDay28120062829.png 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/telecommuting-survival\/reduce-sedentary-health-risks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How sedentary work affects your health and how remote workers can prevent and reduce potential health risks<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_68b6d8ca-689f-4873-b5eb-5d80340757d2\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-exercise-or-just-get-outside\"><strong>12.

If you\u2019re a morning exerciser, go for your walk or run before sitting down to work for the day. Or, if you prefer working out mid-day or in the evening, schedule it in your calendar so you make sure to take the break. Or simply take a moment to water the flowers, walk the dog, or enjoy your coffee on the front porch.

First, try not to make different meals for everyone in the family \u2014 make the same thing for everyone. (Easier said than done with kids, we know!) You might even try batch cooking over the weekend so you have breakfast options, like burritos or egg and potato muffins, ready to reheat and eat on the go if needed.

For the rest of us who spend our mornings gathering shoes, backpacks, hats, mittens, and school library books from all corners of the home, creating a staging area for these items can save a lot of time and frustration on busy mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A staging area doesn\u2019t have to cost a bundle or take up a lot of space \u2014 it can be as simple as two wall hooks for each family member with a basket or bin on the floor below it. This way, each family member can hang up their bag and coat then place any shoes or accessories in the basket the night before, and everything is right where you need it in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_349f70fa-64ee-45a5-ae5f-460d335a6185\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-80x80.webp 80w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-559070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2024\/01\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_HowtoStayOrganizedDuringYourRemoteJobSearch_WatchtheRecording1080x1080.png 1080w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/remote-career-center\/overview\/how+to+stay+organized+in+your+job+search+%26+in+your+remote+job-151\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Staying organized during a remote job search and how to continue those good organization habits once you have been hired<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_7db78eb9-349a-409e-b37c-0aafff611c29\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-16-connect-with-your-family\"><strong>16. Connect with your family<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know mornings are hectic. And that some people are not morning people. But connecting with the people we love first thing in the morning can be the best way to get your day off to a great start. The more connected you feel with others, the more fulfillment you will feel as you go about your days at school and work, and the more you can look forward to being together again at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-17-connect-with-your-coworkers\"><strong>17. Connect with your coworkers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use Slack or another messaging app for your remote job, take a moment at the beginning of your day to check in with your coworkers. If you need advice or assistance on a project, you can give a coworker a heads-up at the beginning of their day so they can plan better. Or you can simply use it as a team-building moment to check in with others and see how they\u2019re doing today. Working from home can be isolating, so take time to connect with your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-18-make-a-list-of-3-5-goals-to-accomplish-that-day\"><strong>18. Make a list of 3-5 goals to accomplish that day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first sit down to work in the morning \u2014 or even at the end of your workday the day before \u2014 create a list of the next 3-5 things you want to accomplish. You might already know in your head what you need to get done, but writing them down will help you keep your focus throughout the day. Plus, you\u2019ll get the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment from crossing those items off your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-19-do-the-hardest-thing-first\"><strong>19. Do the hardest thing first<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you work from home, one of the best morning routine hacks is to do the hardest thing first. Crossing that major project off your list first will not only get it out of your way but also give you the boost you need to tackle the rest of your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, tips like these can feel more overwhelming than helpful \u2014 like when you read articles about successful leaders and the multiple hours they devote to their complex morning routines. Those routines might not always work for those of us who have families to take care of before we even get our day started. So just remember to create a morning routine that works for <em>you<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lemon water and staging areas for backpacks can be helpful, but if it doesn\u2019t work for you, forget about it and try something else. Take a look at your morning routine and see what areas are a constant source of frustration for you \u2014 and if a little change might help. Those little things \u2014 like making your bed \u2014 might just be the small change you need to improve your mornings and change the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:32% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-80x80.webp 80w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-406657 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2021\/10\/WorkingfromHomeMindfullyCourse.png 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Ready to transform your work-from-home mornings from mundane to magical?
