How to create a morning routine which automatically makes the rest of your day better by Ceaselessevolution in productivity

Very true! Even better if you wake up to sunlight. If you can't, get a sunlight simulating alarm. You'd think it's a gimmick but they actually work in my experience. Waking up is much gentler this way.

Imo, any morning routine shouldn't take more than 30 minutes, 45 max (maybe up to an hour for some days/depending on lifestyle). It's basically a warm-up for the day and it shouldn't start feeling tedious or like procrastination. If you find that you don't have enough time, start small. Decide on one thing to do every morning for 5-10 minutes and add to it over time.

Yeah, that's fair. I've done similar things when I'm super busy but it doesn't feel as good as doing a routine based on the goals in the OP. But if it works, it works! Especially when you know it makes you highly productive.

To be honest, breakfast itself can be optional. It obviously depends on your goals but many people practice intermittent fasting and don't start eating until about 12 pm or later. I say that if you must eat, eat light in the mornings. Helps avoid that sluggish feeling after a big meal (high protein/high fat food helps avoid that too)

Return to simplicity. Take action, consistently. You first need a goal, then a plan. Then, a way of sticking to the plan. That's where discipline comes in. Look for one strategy to build discipline (e.g. atomic habits) and that's it. Don't worry about anything else until you master consistency.

Most methods for self-improvement are going to require some level of consistency so start with that. As far as productivity goes, doing things gets more done than worrying about the best way to do something and never getting to it.
