Success Starts Before 9 a.m.

Ask any high performer their secret, and you’ll often hear the same thing: “It’s my morning routine.”

The way you spend the first 60–90 minutes of your day sets the tone for everything that follows. It’s not about waking up at 4:30 a.m. or copying someone else’s exact schedule—it’s about creating a repeatable system that primes your body and mind for success.


In this blog, you’ll learn what successful people actually do in the mornings, the science behind those habits, and how you can design your own routine using the ThisIsMyEra 90-Day Planner.

What High Performers Do in the Morning

Here are a few staples you’ll find in the routines of leaders, athletes, and creatives:

Hydration: Drink water before coffee to rehydrate and wake the body.

Mindfulness: Meditation, prayer, or journaling centers the mind.

Learning: Reading, listening to a podcast, or studying sparks creativity.

Movement: A workout, stretch, or even a short walk activates energy.

Nutrition: Eating a light, balanced breakfast fuels both body and brain.

Planning the Day: Reviewing goals and priorities before emails set the focus.


These aren’t random habits—they’re keystone actions that multiply your productivity throughout the day.

Why Morning Routines Work (Science-Backed)

Morning routines aren’t just trendy—they’re backed by science. Starting your day with intention...


  • Reduces Decision Fatigue : High performers automate the start of their day to save mental energy.


  • Habit Stacking: When you connect small habits together (hydrate → stretch → journal), they become effortless.


  • Builds Momentum Effect: Accomplishing something early builds confidence for the rest of the day.

Step-by-Step: Create Your Own Morning Routine

1. Decide Your “Why”

Ask yourself: Do I want more focus? Energy? Calm? Your “why” determines what you include.


2. Choose 3–5 Keystone Habits

Pick a few that fit your lifestyle. Examples:

  • Journal gratitude (3 minutes)

  • 10 pushups or yoga flow

  • Review your top 3 daily priorities

  • Read 10 pages


3. Time-Block It

Your routine doesn’t need 2 hours. Start with 20–30 minutes and expand over time.

4. Write It Down in Your Planner

The 90-Day Planner has space to log habits and track your morning wins daily. This makes your routine visible and repeatable.

5. Review & Adjust

At the end of each week, ask: Did this routine energize me? If not, swap or shorten.
