Adrienne Finch
The number 1. successful women’s morning routine on Youtube is Adrienne Finch’s. Adrienne Finch is a coach and the host of the podcast “The Self-Made CEO”. She has around 400k followers on her YouTube Channel. I’d call that successful.
- She tries to wake up every morning at the same time.
- Right after waking up, she drinks a cup of water against dehydration.
Tip.: In her video, she had the cup right beside her bed. I guess she prepared the water in advance the night before. (Since I am worried about drinking mosquitoes when I am too sleepy to notice, I recommend a water bottle and a cup.)
- Then she meditates for 30 minutes and looks at her vision board.
- After that, she writes 5 minutes in her journal and jots down what she is grateful for.
- After that, she washes her face and gets dressed. (She said she dresses to feel well!)
- Moreover, she tries to go to the gym every day to work out.
- In order to avoid decision fatigue, she eats something similar every day
- She sits down at her bike desk and works on the tasks she wrote down on her planner. ( Yes, a bike desk! How awesome is that. She can work out while working! Tho, since we haven’t tried the product, we won’t link it there).
Decision Fatigue:
When you are forced to make many decisions in the morning, it gets harder to choose well during the rest of the day.
