Remember being told not to check your phone first thing in the morning?

Grabbing the phone, checking calendars, responding to emails – all of these have been blamed for causing a poor state of mind to start to day, but I don’t think it’s as clear cut as that.

Constantly hitting snooze on your alarm clock.

Overwhelming yourself with tasks .

It’s time to start getting your day off to the best start, so figure out the most effective morning routine for you, and say goodbye to those toxic habits!

Here are the highlights from this episode:
