I say a prayer and reflect on all the things I am grateful for, calling out specific accomplishments on the evening before. I do not exercise but that is something I want to work on because it is important.
Quickly describe your morning routine.
My morning routine consists of prayer and good music. I review my to-do list and get to work!
How often do you change your morning routine?
Every morning, depending on what I have to do that day. Some days start with a conference call, an event, a meeting, so I prepare accordingly. On days I know I will be on the go, I wake up earlier to get through my administrative task. This way I am not too far behind when I get back into the office.
Do you use an alarm or a specific app to help you wake up?
I usually just wake up, but if there is an early time I have to get up, I set up my phone alarm.
Do you eat breakfast in the morning, if so, what do you typically have?
Yes. Sausage, egg and cheese on a roll with a flavored orange juice from the deli.
What is the first drink you have in the morning, and at what time?
I enjoy the flavored Tropicana orange juice by 8 AM with my breakfast.
Do you exercise in the morning and/or meditate in the morning?
I say a prayer and reflect on all the things I am grateful for, calling out specific accomplishments on the evening before. I do not exercise but that is something I want to work on because it is important.
How soon after waking up do you check your phone? [Check/send emails, social media]
Honesty to soon! lol I sleep with my phone next to me. I hope those reading don’t make the same mistake because it is important to disconnect. I don’t feel like I do that often.
What are the most important tasks you complete in the morning?
My emails and scheduling my clients’ social media.
What is your bedtime routine?
I usually fall asleep working! Laptop in bed and everything except for weekends.
Are you able to keep the same routine when you’re traveling or in a different environment?
Yes, I do! It is very important to maintain my routine so it doesn’t throw my business off when I return home.
Do you stick to your routine on the weekends or do you tweak it?
I tweak. The weekend is my down time! To wake up late and stay out.
Do you see a change in your day if you forget/don’t to follow your morning routine?
Yes, I don’t feel on track and fall behind in emails.
What project(s) are you currently working on which adds value to your life?
Currently, I am executive producing an Indie movie and it is such an empowering process because my best friend wrote it. I also work with various elected officials in New York City on their public relations strategy. It makes me feel good to know I am promoting a good cause.
