Currently, especially on weekdays, I roll out of bed, get dressed and ready for the day, and go. But surely I can fit more in? And on the weekends, I have plenty of time.<\/p>\n

So I decided to ask ChatGPT<\/a> to help me redesign my morning routine, hoping to bring some productivity to my day.<\/p>\n ChatGPT\u2019s morning routine<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Anastasiya Vragova \/ Pexels)<\/p>\n I prompted ChatGPT \u201cI’m struggling to be productive in the morning. Design me two morning routines \u2014 one for weekdays, between 6:50 and 7:50, and one for the weekends – between 8-10 when I have more time.”<\/p>\n ChatGPT responded with the very supportive \u201cYou\u2019re not lazy \u2014 mornings are a systems problem. If the system is vague, motivation collapses. Below are two clear, realistic routines designed to remove decision-making and build momentum, not perfection.\u201d<\/p>\n So, how does my new day look? On the weekdays, it is split into small increments. First, for 10 minutes I get out of bed (with no phone scrolling), I drink some water and I open a window.<\/p>\n Then, some light movement for another 10 minutes, before getting showered and dressed and listening to a podcast.<\/p>\n Finally, I finish up with a \u201csimple, repeatable breakfast\u201d and ten minutes of reading, journaling or planning.\u201d<\/p>\n That is certainly much more productive than my current efforts of bare minimum. I decided to try it out and, as much as I hate to say it, it has made my mornings much more enjoyable, who would have thought!<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Stepping things up<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n My weekend morning routine was almost exactly the same, just longer. Do all the same sorts of things, but with 20-30 minutes set aside for each.<\/p>\n I gave this same one a go, but I just couldn\u2019t help but feel like I should make the most of the weekend, lying in and doing nothing for longer.<\/p>\n Yes, I felt more productive but it wasn\u2019t for me. So, I asked ChatGPT to try again, making it slightly lazier without wasting the day.<\/p>\n It adjusted, giving me longer in bed, allowing me to use my phone if I wanted to. It suggested making a tea or coffee, and starting the day gently, with a quick bit of movement.<\/p>\n Then, 20-30 minutes of \u2018pleasant absorption.’<\/p>\n Why you should try asking ChatGPT for help too<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Shutterstock)<\/p>\n Do you have to start your day exactly how ChatGPT tells you to\u2026?
