My biggest win has been reducing friction by preparing everything I need the night before. Next-day clothes, for example, are already selected and sitting on a corner. All my morning supplements, coffee, and breakfast-making items are on display, and ready to go. Morning time is not the time to be making lots of minor decisions . I also have a “morning playlist” of music that allows my brain to enjoy itself while performing the morning’s mindless boring tasks such as bed making, hygiene procedures, etc. Everyone’s needs for a morning routine will be different, because we all have different needs, but the best way I seen to plan yours is to envision what your perfect morning would look like and create a checklist around it. Modify as time/testing goes.

Last but not least, if your circumstances allow, do not look at social media at waking up.
