💡 How to use this worksheet: Duplicate this page into your own Notion & start dreaming 😜

Step 1: Setting the foundation for your dreams

List out every single habit you've ever tried regardless if it was in the mornings. Think back to your childhood, high school, college, pre-covid days, and everything between—write it all down

Habits I've tried:

Example
📌
Bonus: Next to every habit, add a "+" for ones that sparked joy & were impactful, "=" for ones that were not amazing but not bad, and "-" for ones you can live without

Step 2: Dreaming big dreams

Using the above as reference, write out your ideal morning routine. 🤓 This is your DREAM morning routine so dream big & be as detailed as you can

My ideal morning routine:

Example
☁️
Remember: You don't need to squeeze in every single "+" impactful habit in the morning. You could space it out throughout the day, or do it in the evening

Step 3: Turning dreams into reality

Copy & paste your ideal morning routine below, then highlight your non-negotiable aka "must-haves" for your mornings

My "must-have" morning routine:

Example
Once you've identified your "must-haves" for your mornings, the rest are your "nice-to-haves." Start working on your must-have morning routine. You can start adding the "nice-to-haves" once you’ve gotten a good hang of your new ~ideal~ routine 😉

Step 3.1: Finalizing your dream morning routine ✨

Type out your routines with only your highlighted must-haves.

My morning routine:

Example
🥳
Congrats! This is your new morning routine!

Step 3.2 (optional): Giving yourself options

Option 1: Creating 3 routines depending on your energy

Low Energy Routine

Mid Energy Routine

High Energy Routine

Option 2: Creating "levels" for non-negotiables

ie: my non-negotiable is movement 💪🏻💦

  • Level 1: Jumping jacks & crunches
  • Level 2: Youtube workout video
  • Level 3: Youtube workout video + run

Option 3: Setting systems for your morning must-haves

Habit: I want to wake up by 5:30...

System: Must start winding down evenings at 10pm

Habit: I want to work out in the morning...

System: Set our workout clothes the night before

Habit: I want to skin care every morning...

System: Leave out all the products on my sink
