What is one thing you would change about your daily routine?

One thing I would change about my routine is being too busy to meditate in the morning. As of late, being so focused on work has had me not able to do so in the morning. Carving out a simple 15 minutes can greatly increase your productivity throughout the day. Looking to slow things down top this holiday season so I can implement this routine again in my mornings come the new year.

If I could change one thing about my daily routine, it would undoubtedly be cultivating more mindfulness and being present in each moment. Although I know this sounds incredibly cliche, stopping to appreciate moments as they occur can be life-changing; it shifts the focus from being constantly busy and absorbed in thoughts about tomorrow to being truly present for today. Even on the days when being present is difficult, taking a few moments to fully immerse myself in my surroundings never fails to make each day just a little brighter.

recently, I noticed how dependent I on my phone I am. I'm bored, I will be on my phone, I have free time, I will be on my phone. It's something I have no control over, one thing leads to another and I've spent hours on my phone on the internet. So one thing I'm looking forward to changing is the time consumption on my phone.

Hey there, I'm in a relatively busy stage of my life so I have to make some decisions about what to prioritize. I used to implement 30 minutes of hobbies that can be described as more creative (for example learning Japanese) in my daily routine when I had more free time. Setting aside a time block like this is something I would change in my daily routine if things get less busy again. Besides just being relaxing, the creative hobbies also give the satisfaction of progressing in certain skills. Regards, Matt Claes Founder of Weight Loss Made Practical

As we grow up, we fall into routines, sometimes without realizing it. While I do not particularly want to change my daily routine, I would love to incorporate one thing - reading. I used to be able to finish a 300-page novel in a matter of hours. Now, I feel grateful if I can read a few pages before I sleep. I believe with time - I started prioritizing other things and forgoing my habit of reading. I spend a huge chunk of my day interacting and working through different screens. I have read that too much screen time can adversely affect your mental and physical health. I am slowly reducing my screen time and choosing to read instead. I am hoping it ends up becoming a habit and a hobby again.

Despite being in a managerial position, it was only recently I learned the effectiveness of breaks. I was previously used to short breaks for doing anything other than work. Instead, I how doing something that interests me can not only contribute to my work but also to general health. Like I started reading more books, this is a habit I wanted to follow for extended periods. Starting with the non-fictional kind, I moved onto more fictional choices, and scientific ones. Exploring the lifestyle genre gave me many tips to apply to my daily lifestyle. Picking up small habits or even huge thought-out life challenges can actually cause profound changes.

If I had to choose one thing I would change about my daily routine, it would be starting at 5:00 AM instead of 8:00 AM. That might seem crazy, but it's more doable than you think. By beginning at 5:00 AM, I could get a jump start on the day and start any big projects or events early when I have the most energy. Plus, starting so early means I have time for a cup of coffee and a seven-minute yoga session before everyone else awakens! Switching up my start time offers many benefits that standard 9-5 hours can't, along with its challenges, but in the long run, it would give me more control over how productive I am.

Ever since my baby was born I have started a habit of drinking a couple of energy drinks every day. Having a newborn I was exhausted and needed some caffeine to help me get motivated in the morning. It has escalated to one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is something I plan on changing out of my daily routine now that my daughter is older and I am getting better sleep. I know energy drinks can’t be that great for you. I plan on just cutting back to 1 a day at first, then with the plan of no more energy drinks completely.

Adding walking to my daily routine has majorly improved my life and has the potential to keep me independent well into my senior years. Since the beginning of COVID-19, many of us have been trying to find ways to elevate our moods, stay safe, boost our immune systems, and prevent the detriments of a sedentary lifestyle. Walking is an incredible way to accomplish all of the above in a low-injury-risk way that many of us can accomplish across a range of ages and with various levels of modifications and assistive devices.

One thing I’d like to change about my daily routine, specifically mornings, is to go screen-free for the first hour of the day. While my usual routine consists of me checking my emails about 15 minutes after waking up, I’m realizing that this is just shocking my nervous system before I even brush my teeth or make breakfast. Instead, I've been trying to take a morning walk or listen to music before staring at a screen. To others with busy schedules, try avoiding the screentime immediately after you wake up. I promise all the emails will still be there in an hour.

I would reduce the amount of coffee I drink. I have one giant cup of coffee in the morning to wake me up and then multiple cups more throughout the day. Coffee is a great way to start the day, but if consumed in high doses, it can lead to some negative effects on your health, including increased stress levels and anxiety. I would try to stick to one or two smaller cups of coffee per day and see if that makes a difference in how I feel physically and mentally.

Exercise can do the body and mind wonders. It'd be great If I could add a a bit more recreational exercise to my daily routine. I'm not talking about just hitting the gym, or working out at home. It's more about getting outside, walking or running or playing sports. This sort of light and free-form exertion can really work wonders on your mood, even on a particularly stressful day. It'd be in everyone's best interest to try and get more exercise during their week. There are huge benefits to gain for both your physical and mental health.

My daily routine revolves around a very tight schedule encompassing activities from morning to late afternoon, but it's never smooth sailing. My phone notifications always disrupt my routine. All it takes is one tone alert, and I'm glued to my phone screen for not less than an hour. This tendency always leaves me disoriented for and alot of time wasted. Keeping my notifications on "do not disturb" always allows me to focus solely on my tasks and routine and avoid distractions.

I want to manage my time and leave a space for my hobbies like listening to music and reading books. These were part of my daily routine in my graduation days which soothed my mind after a tiring day. I enjoyed my presence and added my knowledge. I used to get lost in the rhythm of music and the pages of the book I was reading which made me escape the world for a little while and live in serenity. Today my hectic schedule does not allow me to enjoy my presence which I want to change and want to relive those days of joy once again.

I want to add space for doing Yoga in my daily routine. In today’s world where there are widespread chronic diseases like cancer, no medicine or food can save you. The only thing that can help you is staying fit and performing Yoga daily. Yoga does not only make you fit but also helps you in fitting various health issues like obesity, thyroid, diabetes, etc., it also makes the chances of you getting a disease like cancer and boosts your immunity. The pandemic has made it very clear to all of us that we need to work on our bodies to live a long and healthy life and boost our immunity which I want to do.

A larger portion of my day would be dedicated to meeting new people and learning about ways to expand my website's reach. As the founder of a new gaming website, I recognize the value of associating with others who share my goals and values. I've established some online friendships, but nothing beats meeting someone in person. That's why I'm making an effort to fit more social and networking activities into my daily routine. This allows me to broaden my online circle and solicit suggestions for expanding my website's reach.

Repeating your next day's schedule in mind while sleeping is something you should avoid and not include in your daily routine. At the end of the day when we finish our work or leave some tasks unfinished for the next day, it should be left at that. Most of us have a habit of repeating our next day's schedule in mind or all the tasks that we have left unfinished while we are bed ready to fall asleep. Repeating everything will not only make you stressed about your work but also your mind will not be able to rest even while sleeping and you will be unable to take a good sleep to regain your energy.

I would love to leave my cell phone in the office during my lunch break. Many of us may feel like our lunchtime is a great opportunity to destress and scroll social media, but it never makes us feel better. If anything, it adds to the stress. I want to focus on the scenery outside, such as what color the sky is or how many cracks are in the sidewalk. We're stuck inside for so long, so it's essential to leave the office and pay attention to the little things. The mental break allows me to be more productive when I return and focus on the task at hand.

It's important to remember that you can always win your day. If your morning started off slow or you missed the 7am spin class, don't let it ruin your day. You can still win the second half of your day by scheduling another workout or going on a walk. Don't let one action impact the rest of your routine.

Being an early bird isn't just about getting up early. It would be great to be able to wake up in the morning without the grogginess that seems to follow you throughout most of the morning hours. A good breakfast can help, along with some morning routines like stretching or light exercise. Still, it doesn't compare to some people who seems to just be able to get up and be physically and mentally prepared for an early day in minutes. It's a truly admirable trait that I'm sure a lot of us wish we could emulate, at least top the point where we don't dread Monday morning. I'd definitely wouldn't mind being a better morning person if there was something i could change about my routine.
