I think I'm going to try out James Clear's morning routine. I read a Medium article on it here: https://medium.com/illumination/i-followed-james-clears-morning-routine-for-1-week-here-s-what-i-learned-1bd19f7c5e10 and thought it was really interesting.

James Clear's morning routine is pretty simple, though I can't do some of the items in it. It is:

1. Prepare for the next morning the day before

2. Don't set an alarm

3. Drink a glass of water

4. Write three things you are grateful for

5. Meditate for 2-minutes

6. Read 20 pages of a book

7. Do your most important thing first

8. Create when your creative energy is high

9. Don't check email until noon

10. Leave your phone away from you

11. Work in a cool space

12. Sit or stand, don't lay down while working

If you know me at all, you know I have five (almost six), kids. You know I wear hats and love to be around people. Right now, I’m writing this from my kitchen table, locked in a house with my wife and five kids, and loving it.
