Rethinking the Morning Routine: A Realistic Approach to Success
The Myth of the Early Riser
We’ve all seen those articles claiming that successful people start their day at the crack of dawn, perfectly coiffed and ready to tackle the world. But let’s be real – mornings can be brutal. Who says you need to be a Type A personality to achieve success?
Embracing the Night Owl Lifestyle
As someone who loathes mornings, I often wonder: does my aversion to early risings doom me to failure? Absolutely not! Here are 10 morning habits that successful people also practice – and they don’t involve waking up at 5:30 AM.
The Snooze Button is Your Friend
- Press that snooze button as many times as you need. You stayed up late getting things done, and that’s okay.
Workout When You Want
- Cancel that morning workout class and switch to an evening session. Why not exercise after work when you’re more energized?
Prioritizing Sleep Over Sex
- If you wake up with someone next to you, you might think about sex, but let’s face it – you’re too tired. Nighttime is the new prime time.
The Shower Struggle is Real
- The thought of showering and getting ready can be overwhelming. Just acknowledge the horror and move on.
The Bed-Making Conundrum
- Don’t bother making your bed. You’ll just mess it up again at night, so why waste the effort?
Morning Chaos
- Run around like a headless chicken trying to get ready for the day. It’s a rite of passage.
Lunch on the Fly
- Skip making lunch and hit up the local salad bar instead. You can always use the extra time.
The Universe is Against You
- Miss your train or get stuck at every red light. It’s not you, it’s the universe conspiring against you.
Caffeine is Life
- Drown yourself in coffee because, let’s be honest, you’re nothing without it.
Late but Productive
- Get to work up to 15 minutes late and still manage to get everything done. Because, yes, morning haters can be successful too.
Point proven.
