3 Reasons why you're unable to maintain your morning routine

The routine isn't right for your life right now Some morning routines are made popular by books and influencers. Tim Ferriss, Arianna Huffington, and Andrew Huberman are thought leaders with large followings who are known for their multi-step morning routines, but that doesn’t mean they’re right for you.

As a unique human being with a variety of priorities and obligations, it might work better to take a pre-set morning routine and customize it to fit your needs. Whether it’s by shrinking the duration or replacing one action item with another – take what works and leave the rest!

It’s too complicated Have you ever written out the perfect morning routine for yourself only for it to crumble when you actually wake up to do it? When we're feeling really motivated, we get ambitious and tell ourselves that we are going to achieve big goals. But, when we wake up in the morning, we often don't have as much will power as we did when we committed to the routine.

The best way to make a goal achievable is to make it small enough for it to be possible for you to do, repeatedly. Simplify your routine to set yourself up for success by not getting stuck on what it “should” look like.

You’re on your own Humans are social animals and often motivated by expectations from other people. But when it comes to morning routines, most of the time you’re on your own. Which means it’s really easy to give up on practicing your routines when it gets even a little bit inconvenient to follow through.

Try buddying up with someone to practice your morning routine together and hold each other accountable!

Steps to activate your morning routine

Let's get started!

Pick a routine Which one of the four has inspired you the most?

Try it once Copy/paste the routine and try it as soon as you can. If possible, put time on your calendar to make sure that your other tasks aren't pulling you away. Remember, your morning sets the tone for your whole day.

Team up with people One of the obstacles of sticking to a morning routine is that you’re only accountable to yourself, and it’s easy to push it off when seemingly more important things come up. You can find an accountability buddy, or try something like Flow Club – a video-based co-working service where you can join a session of other committed people to do what you said you were going to do.

Sign up for a time slot that fits your morning routine schedule, show up to the session online, and share with a small group how you’re going to start your day. At the end, celebrate setting your day up how you wanted to!

Customize your morning routine After trying out your routine once, reflect on how it went. Do you want it to be shorter or longer? Did you feel high-energy the rest of the day? What would make the routine more enjoyable? Reflect, change the items in the list, and then do it all over again.

Now let's get started!

How Flow Club Works

Debrief & Celebrate

Your session host will check in with you and bring the positive vibes. Not everyone hits their goals, but everyone made progress. We celebrate that.

Start doing

When the timer begins, the host will play focus-inducing music while everyone begins the muted, deep work segment. The music is optional, but doing your best to knock out the task at hand is not.

Share your goals

The simple act of sharing what you're going to do with someone else sets up external accountability and increases the likelihood that you'll get it done.

Show up

Willpower is overrated. Instead, draft off the energy of other people who also care deeply about their work.

Book a session

Research shows that you are more likely to achieve your goals when you pre-commit to it.
