Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning will hit your body and brain with a ton of energy that will sustain throughout the day. Lemon water also helps your stomach absorb nutrients throughout the day. After drinking, try doing a short work out that’ll help get your metabolism going and make you feel like you’re starting the day with the right foot forward, boosting your productivity. Research demonstrates that morning workouts increase productivity and self-control.
Don’t Use Your Phone Until After You’ve Had Breakfast
Try not to check your emails and social media sites after you’ve had breakfast. It will make your morning more efficient and less distracting. Meditate, have some coffee, or work out, and you’ll start the day off with a positive and relaxed attitude.
Set Goals For The Day
Having concrete goals will make you feel in control, and the more specific the goal the better. By sprinkling a lot of detail in your objectives of the day, you’ll know what you have to do and how to get there, which is already half the battle.
