Academia 4: My 5am Morning Routine
Hello my beautiful friends!
For the past week I have been waking up at 5am inspired by the YouTuber UnJaded Jade, who I mentioned in my previous post. I started waking up at 5am in September when I began Sixth Form; however, this phase quickly failed. This time I hope to stick to this routine.
Waking up at 5am does cause me to feel more tired towards the end of the day, but I enjoy having additional time to study really productively during the morning. Previously, I found it difficult to study productively in the evenings because I would feel tired and unmotivated. Additionally, at 5am in the morning your phone is not a distraction because you are (probably) the only teenager awake, which really contributes towards productive revision. Although I try to avoid the distraction of my phone during a study period, sometimes it is too tempting!
Here is my morning routine for a Sixth Form day...
5.00am: Wake up and meditate - I use the app 'Stop, Breathe & Think' for meditation and I find it helps massively with my mental health. If meditation does not suit you, you could try yoga, exercise or writing to set you up for the day.
5.10am: Study - I use this time in the morning to do really focused studying.
6.10am: Shower - After an hour of revision I shower.
6.20am: Phone time - At this time I check my phone for 10 minutes to rid myself of notifications, send my Snapchat streaks, etc. This is the first time I look at my phone in the morning (discounting for my meditation app) because I am currently trying to reduce my social media intake due to the negative influence social media often has on my life.
6.30am: Breakfast time and getting ready for school - Usually I have porridge made with almond milk and with fruit on top for breakfast. I also make my lunch, put my makeup on and get dressed.
7.30am: Leave the house
I hope this post has given you a further insight into my life. Getting up early does not suit everyone and some people are more productive during the evenings. Nevertheless, I hope I have inspired some of you to try this routine because I emphasize the benefit of waking up early for mindfulness and doing additional studying.
I wish you a fulfilling morning regardless!
