Ah, my Monday morning routine is all about setting the vibe for the week! Here’s how it usually goes:
Rise and hydrate: I drink a big glass of water first thing. It wakes me up faster than coffee and gets my brain in gear.
Quick stretch or walk: Just 10–15 minutes to move around, shake off the weekend sluggishness, and clear my head. If I’m feeling ambitious, I might even do some light yoga.
Review and prioritize: I spend 10 minutes looking at my to-do list, calendar, and emails. Then I pick 2–3 must-dos for the day. This keeps me focused and avoids the “Monday overwhelm.”
Coffee and motivation: Coffee is non-negotiable. Pair it with a good podcast or a quick article that inspires me for the week ahead.
Morning power hour: I dive into the hardest or most creative task first. My brain’s freshest in the morning, so it’s my golden hour for deep work.
And since I work on pdf to pdf.ai, I sometimes check if any big feedback or fun projects popped up over the weekend—users can be so creative with how they use the tool! That little touchpoint reminds me why I love what I do.
What about you? Do you have a Monday routine that gets you fired up for the week?
