Morning Ritual: How to Use Routine to Increase Productivity
If you find yourself hitting the snooze button until you have mere minutes to head out the door with a banana in hand, your morning routine is in dire need of a reboot.
When your day starts rushed, you will likely spend the rest of the day trying to play catch up. All the while, your energy will dwindle and you’ll never feel truly productive and on top of your day.
Establishing a slow morning routine with a delicious cup of Organo coffee or tea is the transformation you need to feel confident, organized, accomplished, and ready to take on the day. Today, we’re sharing our secrets for increasing productivity!
Why Set a Morning Routine?
A consistent morning routine can be the difference between a bad day and a productive and successful one. Consciously choose to show up with a healthy mindset through a morning ritual. Most productivity coaches agree that how we start our day has a HUGE impact on how the rest of the day unfolds.
You don’t have to do anything and everything to have the “best” morning routine. This time should focus on establishing a sense of positivity. Starting the day with intention can help you efficiently complete daily tasks and handle obstacles without feeling overwhelmed.
We believe in the power of peace and calm (life can be too hectic).
Your morning routine doesn’t have to be ‘perfect’ for it to be incredibly effective.
Physical and Emotional Benefits
Stress in our personal lives and careers can be damaging to our health if not healthily managed. This, naturally, will decrease our productivity when trying to reach our goals. The emotional and physical benefits of a morning routine will help you brush off any stress thrown your way as you say, “not today!”
Feel good physically by incorporating movement such as stretching or a light jog
Develop a sense of peace by mindfully slowing down, reflecting, and visualizing
Improve relationships through greater overall wellbeing and positivity
Set a productive tone for the day by setting clear intentions for goals
Build confidence in our ability to complete tasks and remain resilient to setbacks
A consistent morning routine gives us time to ‘stretch’ our mindfulness, self-awareness, and inner sense of confidence as we prepare for the tasks ahead. We can clearly establish our goals for the day, whether personal or professional, and are therefore one step closer to achieving those goals.

Strategies to Live By
Although perfecting your personal routine can take some trial and error, these suggestions can set you off to a great start when creating your morning rituals:
Wake Up Early Enough to Avoid a Rush
A solid morning routine requires you to actually have the time to enjoy and benefit from your routine! This means you should avoid the temptation to hit snooze, even if you just want to hide under the covers.
Giving yourself 30 to 90 minutes will allow you time to slowly acclimate to the day and get in the right mental space. Remember though, a good morning routine starts the night before by going to sleep early enough. Plan ahead when you go to bed!
Get Your Blood Flowing
You may be used to reaching for your phone to scroll first thing in the morning. Allowing ourselves time away from our screens can give us moments to focus our attention elsewhere, such as getting our bodies moving.
By getting oxygen into our lungs and blood to our brains, movement provides the endorphins we need to face anything the day has in store.
Create an Organo Coffee or Tea Ritual
Mindfully taking time to prepare a nice hot cup of Organo coffee or tea can help awaken the senses and root you into all of the benefits they have to offer. Organo black coffee provides the energizing effect of regular coffee, but without all of the negative side effects such as jitters, digestive struggles, and anxiety.
Our nutrient-rich blends contain Ganoderma mushrooms, the “herb of spiritual potency” according to Chinese culture. This mushroom can help:
Boost immunity
Reduce inflammation
Relieve stress
Fight fatigue
Improve memory
Trust us, it’s a great way to jumpstart your days with peace, productivity, and plenty of energy. Grab some delicious Organo coffee today!
Practice Stillness
First thing in the morning is a great time to practice activities such as:
Meditation
Breathwork
Prayer
Visualization
Practicing stillness is equally as important as getting your body moving, as it can help you feel more grounded, focused, and efficient. Taking time to be still will help you stay present and in control, and therefore, decrease stress and increase productivity.
Power Up with Nutrients
A great day really does start with a great breakfast! Fueling your body with nutrient-dense foods is vital to sustaining your energy levels throughout the morning until lunch. A healthy breakfast will help your body regulate your energy levels and have you feeling more motivated throughout the day.

Envision Your Day
You’ve heard some say, create an intention. Before heading to work for the day, take a few minutes to look ahead at your plans for the day. This helps you feel aligned with your schedule and prioritize tasks. It’s good to be mentally prepared to avoid burnout & low productivity.
Be ambitious! But also, be honest with yourself about what you can realistically accomplish!
Creating Your Morning Routine
Remember when developing your routine:
Be flexible and let go of expectations for perfection
Be consistent and acknowledge that tiny steps over time can have dramatic results
Set boundaries with technology
Plan ahead and get enough sleep
If feeling rushed, rethink your routine & start fresh tomorrow!
