Here's a look at my morning routine in 2019! ruclips.net/video/nABiSKQuMvQ/видео.html
Bookend your day
Hey man I don't know if it happen just for me but there is a repetition or some kind of failure in min 6:34
Hey man one question, now I'm in exams. So I was wondering if you change your morning schedule, so you can have more time studying
Hey Thomas, how has your morning routine changed since this video?
@@rileyboff is the consistence I've ever seen in the world and the world has a a lot more to say about about it and how you feel about the world and how you feel about the world of the day
Watching this at 3 AM, first point: wake up early. Nailed it.
Watching in 2AM here lmao (Almost because It's 1:53)
Yep it’s New Years and 2:53 I’m doing good in life.
2:00am 🤗🤗🤗
Maybe y'all didn't sleep
4:02 here...
I was in the depths of procrastination and my grades in school got worse, never did any excercise, and this week I just said to myself, you have to change now or you'll never will. Now I managed to get up at 6, run for 20 minutes, have a cold shower and eat breakfast every day this whole week, made a plan and scheduled every part of my day, started reading again, started using habitica, and I'm really so much happier now and it's just been a week. Thanks for all the blog posts/videos, they really gave me the motivation to actually make that choice.
ANTI V15T Habitica , coupled with a strong will power is definitely life - changing ;)
ANTI V15T be very wary of burning out, especially if you've taken it all on at once. Novelty very quickly wears off.
Your comment inspired me. Thank you and best of luck to you!
ANTI V15T i hear it takes 21 days to form a habit. keep at it, we believe in you!
Nice work! Glad you decided to make a change - now keep it up!
Didn't realize it was Thomas for the first five seconds, no wonder Clark Kent never gets found out--- it's always the glasses
I think Henry Cavill actually went around NYC wearing glasses around the time Man of Steel came out, and not many people recognized him either. It's a surprisingly good disguise!
supermans identity is super well protected
Thomas Frank I saw that video lol
Wait... what?
HAHAHAH lol.
Lmao I found the beginning funny
Farzana Chowdhury i thought it was real at first.
Farzana Chowdhury omg I love how he said I'm the CEO of 150% vegan bars and talks about how he eats meat in the morning
Farzana Chowdhury And the 6hrs of meditation
And bulletproof coffee 🤣🤣
and mediclorians in the coffee... are we in Star Wars 😂
Has vegan protein bar company.... eats all the meats for breakfast. lol XD
Hey, just because he caters to the vegan community doesn't mean he has to be vegan lol!
Lol was just about to comment this! So funny!!
Keto breakfast 👏👌😋
I was wondering if anyone was gonna say anything lol
Thought it was a joke
Lmao, the beginning is on point. 🤣 for my morning routine I just write/animate for 2 hours and maybe grab a tea in the middle. Good video tom !
TL;DW
1. Don't snooze
2. Start small + Quantif using an app
3. Water, meditate, cardio exercise and breakfast, leave out email, social media, im etc.
4. Evening Routine
I think, number 3, building a routine is the most important
Whoops, looks like my editing program had a rendering hiccup that I didn't catch near the end of the video. If you didn't catch it , basically it just said next week I'll be putting out a video on my exact morning routine :)
Thomas Frank Mel Robins has some nice content on this topic, with her 5 second rule, how the brain works within that context.
Please fix it... OCD going cray
Excited for it 😍👍🏽
Can't be fixed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
despite that, I've noticed that the overall quality of your videos is really improving .. keep it up !
Your bedtime routine is a very important step to your morning routine.
Tip 1:
Commit to a regular bedtime every night and make sure you commit to it.
Tip 2:
Prepare everything you need for the morning. Eg: Clothes, Shoes, Bag, Breakfast anything you need to do/find in the morning. So you don't have to rush around looking for your socks....
Tip 3:
Take a notepad/pen ti bed with you. Write down atleast 5 items that want to get done tomorrow.
Prioritize them from1 to 5.
Now circle the first 3 items you wrote and only focus on them for tomorrow.
Tip 4:
Once you are ready to choose your eyes for sleepy time, go on RUclips and choose video from the (subliminal messages) list. I prefer the rain sound. Choose the messaging that will help you for where you are right now and commit to it for 7 straight nights.
This week im focusing on (enjoy working hard).
Tip 5:
As you close your eyes, listening to the subliminal sounds, imagine walking up to the alarm tomorrow morning feeling energetic and ready to go. Imagine getting out of bed straight away (no hitting the sleep button). And visualize yourself going through the morning routine. Imagine yourself getting out of bed, standing up, walking to the coffee machine, going to the bathroom. You get the picture. Visualize yourself doing everything you are going to do. All the way until you leave the house or start working on your goals.
If you do this for atleast 7 days straight, you will be blown away how easy your morning routines will become.
I wasn't looking at my phone as the video was loading and I thought the beginning was an ad 😂
Me too
Sammeee
" I run 14 miles, and then I read 2 books..."
Ikr that was funny 😂😂
You're not putting enough butter in your coffee. You need at least a kilogram
You know why? KNOWLEDGE
Alex Dattel
😭😂😂😂😂 that reference
plus he's ceo of the happy gorilla vegan bar :D
Yes, Midichlorians are good for you, but don't FORCE yourself into consuming it.
G
I knew you were going to type that before you woke up
Guess if I wake up earlier I could learn how to have the high ground!
Rajveer Dhanak Do you mean mandalorians?
GG Dude.... GG....
The beginning is hilarious! I love my mornings quiet, when I have time I meditate for about 10 minutes and watch music videos of my favorite artists. The this you said about social media in the morning is true, you dont want to load your brain with unimportant information and negativity, it will affect the rest of the day
Impressive! I for one should just not look into the mirror every morning and just trust that I'm there then! Right.
My routine is I wake up at 8 am (at this point I am incapable of reading or doing any cognitive actions) turn off the alarm and go back to sleep. Then I wake up again 1 pm. Usually I don't remember waking up to turn off the alarm.
That sounds horrible lol. But also I wish I could go back to sleep if I get up that early... Maybe put the alarm on the other side of the room?
Thomas, I'm still doing that bloody cold shower challenge you set us and it's awful!! But I wake up every morning and - very perversely - kind of look forward to proving to myself that I have more discipline than I make myself believe :)
River Jn that's awesome!!
Mission accomplished! :)
I like it actually.
*runs a 150% vegan protein bar bussiness *eats only animal products for breakfast. XD
well done you got a joke
Lol
Welcome to the business world.
The way you include sponsorships in your videos is very impressive.
Wait, What sponsorship?
For 2 days now I am watching your videos. I am extracting the most useful techniques, information and tips that will help me build my own learning and study way, so i can start my time at the college with a new style of learning! Thanks for being an awesome mentor. Arigato!
I really love how you're explaining it all simply and nicely, with humour even ! You're sharing your experience, not judging your audience, or pushing it on us. You made me wanna try something different for my morning, but in a very " chill, no pressure, you're doing this for you " way, and that's awesome !
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm under a lot of stress right now because my high school graduation exams are coming up. I've strayed a lot from my usual morning routine and it's thrown me off my productive balance. Thank you Thomas. :)
Glad it helped! Good luck on those exams :)
Ioana Georgiana senioritis...
How was the exam after 4yrs
PERFECT TIMING. Been planning mine for the past week. Thanks!
When he said " I wake up at 3am" bruh I go to bed at 3 am😂😂 and when he said he meditated for 6 hours that just cracked me up😂😂
so he owns a vegan company and eats so many aminal products! lol . Great video dude!
I'm really happy you caught that joke. Most of the people I showed this to during editing didn't catch it :P
I thought the same :D
obviously... lol
Craig H. are you vegan tho?
I immediately thought "this guy is a douche*" when he said his bars were 150% vegan.
(* not the actual word I thought of, but translating for the benefit of Americans.)
Thomas Frank are you a vegan?
Hey Thomas just wanted to say that your videos always motivate me and make me strive to meet my goals. Keep up the great work!!
You got me with that beginning for a second...
Your vids help me tweak my routines and habits constantly and I always recommend your vids to my college students.
I love how your videos have been evolving! I've been watching you for years, basically since I started college and I'm a senior now! ❤️
I am definitely going to give morning routines a try. A lot of times I wake up 3-4 times before the day breaks. Funny thing is that I check my mail each time I wake up. I just started working out daily 3 days ago but I think I will incorporate waking up earlier, meditating, working out, and then reading a book. Thanks Thomas.
i genuinely thought the begining was real XD Glasses change everything
Me to and then I was like Ooooooo no he tripping !
Videos getting shaper , engaging and fun .
Awesome video, I've had some recent success with my own morning routine and this video confirms my own thoughts. I also started a nightime routine to fit in things I had no room for in my morning routine such as stretching, it helps!
I must say I'm a BIG FAN to your channel ❤
this is super great speaking about our daily issues in a funny / scientific way & the whole quoting thing is AMAZING .
you keep hitting imp topics every time .
I'm a med school student & somehow I feel related to your videos ...
keep up !!!
you and your advenced tips
Can you make a video on how to stop loosing matching socks?
This is a serious issue for me because I lose many hours of my day looking for matching black socks.
Easy solution - never put your socks anywhere other than your hamper when you take them off, and always check the washer/dryer for missing socks. People lose socks because they take them off and throw them all over the place.
I loved that you answered this, haha
Amarantha Bowl my dogs steal my socks
I'd would also recommend by the same brand of sock in bulk
Amarantha Bowl same!
during the small sad period of my life, thanks to the help of your sincere and awesome videos, I was able to get my mind back together!!! Thank you for being so real Thomas!!!!
How did you know this vid would be so perfect for me right now??
Thanks for the consistent, useful, quality vids Thomas. u the man 👍
im not usually awake in the mornings
שירה עמיר ישראלים😂😂😂😂
Lionel Akram all u need 2 do is get over here then...
Watching this at night with a surity of not waking up next morning.
Mr IY same here
Wow "surity" is that actually a word? I learned a new one anyway 😬
Your videos always inspire me to do better! I need to get rid of my phone addiction... especially in evenings and mornings
This man is a college students super hero. I am a junior in college and I have been struggling with sticking to a routine, and now I know it's only cause I'm trying to do everything at once. I need to start with small changes and build up...why didn't I think of that lol!!! Thanks for sharing Tom your the best
Consistently Useful Content! Fantastic Work
Aloha Thomas. I am a sleep technologist, been studying sleep medicine (listening to people's morning/night habits) for nearly 14 years, in hopes of getting my Phd in sleep. I can tell you that your habits truly make or break your health, which correlates to your success in life as you agree. I appreciate your content. I'm all about tweaking my own habits. One thing I highly suggest is to invest in a light therapy box to be by your bedside table. When you get up, turn it on. It sets your circadian rythm. I have it on for at least 15 minutes while I meditate in bed and when I write at least one gratitude sentence in my journal. I also will do a five minute stretching yoga near my bed in the morning (I have a yoga mat layed out near my bed that's permanently there). Yes, OCD routine but to its what works for me and for my patients as they too have incorporated my routine. Using red light therapy is one that I'm incorporating in my routine as well. Have you tried it? Much health benefits. Keep up your work as you inspire me to try new things as well. Mahalo.
Your lighting is soooo good... honestly... great content by the way... thank you
I really like the tweaks you made to the video's style in comparison to the rest of your videos. :) I love your channel! It has helped me to be more organized in my life and to create habits that will help me in the near future. Keep up with the hard your Thomas!
Thomas Frank I loved the comedy sort of thing in the beginning.
The front part was ridiculously hilarious. And I was wondering what kind of company name is that (?!)
The most hipster company name I could think of :P
Thomas, thank you for all of the helpful content.
I love the style of content. Casual yet serious and informative. Thanks Tom, keep it up!
I am spoused to wake up early but that one player keeps kicking my ass
Sadiq Basim omg best comment ever
is it Chadwick Zimmerman?
Is it David Goggins?
I was soo close to clicking out of the video when I heard 6 hours of meditation😂😂😂
Thanks for the video!😉😁
@Thomas Frank MAN your editing in this video is on point! loved it! the humor and everything!
I'm watching this while thinking I should go to sleep to wake up early. Am I the only one?
Seeing that you've been making content for 2 years now,
Is there any video that you made in the past that you don't agree with now?
btw 6:33 editiing mistake
Eldy Russian Intervention?
I don't get the connection. ?
ooo... good question!
There's the one on changing test answers. My initial position is still better than the opposite (not changing answers), but I made an updated video called "Exam Brain Hack" that updated the answer with a more nuance position. But that was because of Justin Couchman's research on confidence tracking, which hadn't been done yet when I made the original video.
Otherwise, I can't think of any videos I straight-up disagree with. There are certainly things I've talked about that I don't do anymore myself (like using Beeminder to wake up), but I still think they're useful since everyone is going to use different techniques at different stages in their lives.
Awesome content Thomas! I certainly will use this advices to become even more stronger!
Thank you!
What a great video. Thanks, Thomas. I like to clean and straighten up the house a little too.
step 1 Acknowledge that your morning routine doesn't have to fit anyone else's routine. If you wake up at 5 pm because you're on night shift, fine. If you prefer to sort your mail when you wake up then reheat last nights left overs for munchies, that's fine too. Step 2 Do what comes naturally to you when you wake up. Everyone has a baseline. Just pick around until you find what comes most naturally to you, If you like waking up 15 minutes before you head out to your day, that's your thing. Don't let anyone tell you that's wrong. Step 3 repeat these morning activities like you probably already have until you feel like you've accomplished a routine. The ugly truth is, waking up at the butt crack of dawn and forcing yourself to do stuff you hate isn't the secret to success. The secret is not giving up on your goals no matter how much you fail. If your goals aren't making you happy and eager to pursue them, reassess your goals.
Are you suggesting that struggling against our natural inclinations is what throws us off, and that if we find what is natural and do it mindfully then we are more likely to have a good morning?
FMA and Sailor Moon posters +100 cool points
Morning routines did change my life. I wake up at 5 since 2 months now, and I'm Totally loving it!
My search history 3 days ago "Morning Routine Thomas Frank" and found nothing, got a notification and here is the video 😍
Hi Thomas! First of all this intro made me laugh so hard. This is my second favourite video with I dont feel like it is additude for amateurs. I have 2 suggestions for video topics: 1. How to meditate!!! There are so many ways of which most of them are boring. Which model do you use?
2. How to make a habit of audible? I tried it and I just can make it a habbit.
Meditation is actually VERY boring for me, but I still do it in order to improve my ability to focus. I'll make a video eventually, but in short I just meditate for 5 minutes, breathe slowly, and try to only focus on my breath.
As for making a habit of listening to audiobooks - I think once you find a book that truly draws you in, you won't have a hard time making it a habit. But you could also try adopting a complementary habit, like going for a walk every day.
That would be awesome! I'll try it again this summer. At last I can listen for 7$ whole year if I come back. :P
Thank you for your answer! Keep making us kick asses! :D
You're the one that suggested I try doing cold showers! Let me tell you, I don't miss warm showers tbh!
Also what is the app called? You said it like it's super easy to spell or look up, sorry haha great video man keep up the good work!
Habitica :)
Such a cool app, Thank you for sharing this gem! Subscriber for life!
Every video I've watched of yours....shows wisdom much greater than your years....PROPS...and THANKS
Been watching your videos for a long time now and they are always worth it!
Thank you again!
SMOL
Love your Videos Thomas... Keep it up!!
I needed this so bad. Thanks Thomas. Oh, and that skit, in the beginning, was great.
Great video! The skit was so perfect :)
P.S: There seems to be an audio skip at 6:34, it could just be me though...'
It's not just you - looks like Premiere had a rendering hiccup that I didn't catch. I don't think it's bad enough to pull the video down - basically it just said next week I'll be putting out a video on my exact morning routine :)
Oh man, I wasn't expecting a reply...Now I feel bad :( Still love your content though. Keep up the good work!
No worries!
This lama with the thug life glasses and the music reminds me so much of 21 jump street the scene with the different phases of the drug kid who films himself... does someone know what I'm talking about? :D
this is a BLESSED channel thank you for bringing such helpful content
This is a great thing I just woke up to! I just woke myself up early to start myself on a new wake-up routine because I'm tired of lolligagging so hard and squandering time in the morning when I try and get ready. Viola! This video popped up on my recommended! haha. Also, my friend and I had the habit-making conversation a few weeks ago and I told her 21 days, so I'm glad I can reference this video and tell her 66 days. Maybe the first three weeks is the hardest part mentally? Either way, thanks for your informative videos as always. They never claim to be overly enriching based on promises of a super me(like how I've seen on Quora or other blogger videos), but they show me how I can step up my game and thus closer to my goals.
While I don't get the whole morning routine hype (especially for people who aren't morning people, no routine is going to make them so) I'm really hoping a positive thing to come out of it will be younger people eating breakfast. When I was younger it was 'cool' not to eat anything until 12-1pm, at lunch time, and it was only when I actually started introducing breakfast did I realise how important it was to helping me learn and also regulating my weight in that difficult newly-pubescent phase. Eating breakfast is cool, kids!! 🍳🍳
Just a dose of protein and fat, no carbs til afternoon.
It's said that some personality types don't like routines
love the new editing and direction. you're growing as we learn from you
Great video man! Been binge watching your content for around a week at this point, seriously good stuffs!
I don't hit snooze, I wake at 3AM and turn off the alarm and keep sleeping. That's how I don't wake early...
I snooze my alarm clock on purpose, I just set it 10 minutes earlier. is that failure too?
nah, it just your way to wake up
Quinty M yeah that's failure, give yourself more quality sleep, as soon as you wake make your very first thought be about meditating or getting in a cold shower and go straight into it
Why interrupt your sleep early? You'll get better-quality sleep if you just wake up when you intend to wake up.
Thomas Frank The last month or two I've been getting a lot of quality sleep but last night I was out late and not feeling great today. Do you have any tips to make the most of off days like this/ to re sync your sleep schedule?
omg i loved the music between the section & the graphics are so funny - i am so glad i once followed the link on tumblr & found your channel - great tips as always!! greetings from Germany :)
When I was in college, I didn't have a nightstand or any table next to my bed to place my alarm clock on, so I had to place it on my desk. To shut it off every morning, I had to get out of my bed and walk across to my desk. I was already up so it was easier to get into my routine. Great content on your channel! Thanks for the video : )
Notification SQUAD
High five!
Thomas Frank
hey Thomas
I've a question
I'm a 11th grade highschooler from India
and I don't actually have any time for a long morning routine, after my 6.5hr long PCM classes and 6 hours of self study
so...is it necessary to have a long morning routine or a short routine of 1 hour is okay?
if yes, what do you suggest I should fit in that short time
6 hours tutionsand 6 hours selfstudy. Bhai tu toh iit crack karega.
Short it fine! Remember, what you do in your routine is up to you, and it'll partly be limited by everything else in your schedule.
Ek 01 I used to swim for 45mins in the morning rather than running. I used to feel energetic the whole day. Also In swimming, there are lesser chances of injuries.
he is so cute and smart
Omg Habitica is changing my life I love this thank you
Love your videos like always
like for AlphaM at the beggining of the video!
Matheus Schultz Teige hanley
Rub tiege hanely on- *SIGH* I'm late that meme is already dead
I watch Thomas when I’m procrastinating or feeling thirsty or both. Who else?
Lol u changed ur name
Quality is 👌🏻 absolutely love your stuff Thomas ;)
Great advice 👍 Thank you!
How do you listen to a podcast while showering??? Doesn't your phone get wet???????
I used to put my phone in a glass on the sink counter (which makes it louder). But that habit in Habitica is actually a NEGATIVE habit that will hurt my character if I do it. I realized a while ago that constantly listening to podcasts - while getting dressed, driving, showering, etc - was eating up all the quiet time in my life. And when I had no quiet time, I stopped thinking clearly - there was no time to do it. So I put that there to encourage myself to simply shower in silence.
wow your face looks completely different than before, you look much fresher than in your previous videos, I like it! is it because of the vegan bars? jk
I think haircut
So many good tips!! 😻 Thank you Thomas for sharing!!
Thank you this video was lots of help.
I wouldn't be sleeping if I wake up earlier
use teige Henley
I put it my car and now get 1,000 mpg
Wooow your video content seems to have some really good and perfect stuffs
Thank you, I love your channel
First!
oh, and #dankmemes
Thanks for sharing Tom! Considering your suggestions' I'm in a really good way.
The image quality in this video is so pro! Looking forward to next week video Thomas (:
