Or, do you have trouble making the most of your time because you struggle to stay alert during the day?

Whether it’s due to a lack of sleep or your mind being overly preoccupied, many of us wish we had more energy and concentration to get through our day.

Some of us choose the coffee route, downing cups of coffee throughout the day to stay alert and productive. Others choose to sleep the weekend away in hopes of ‘recharging’ our bodies.

But what if I told you that these are all temporary, if not ineffective, ways of boosting energy?

Starting Your Morning on the Right Note

Instead, if you truly wish to be more productive on a day to day basis, you need to find a sustainable way of renewing your body’s energy levels daily. And it’s actually really simple.

It starts from the moment you wake up. That’s right, did you know that starting the morning on the right note will determine how productive you are for the rest of your day? Yet, many people don’t see the importance or need to have a morning routine.

Most mornings, we wake up likely still feeling tired from the night before, and we may even struggle to get out of bed. If you hit snooze, you end up rushing when you finally wake.

To many, getting up and out of bed is really all that is needed every morning. But how you wake up each day and your morning routine or lack thereof, dramatically affects your levels of success in every single area of your life.

Introducing the Morning Routine

Hal Elrod, ultramarathoner and author of The Miracle Morning says that focused and productive mornings carry over to successful days, and ultimately successful lives. This is because having a routine creates structure, eliminates distractions, and eventually forms a habit where it becomes automatic, so that you don’t even have to think about it. Another great reason to create a morning routine is to avoid mental fatigue.

We often struggle to get through the day because we only have a certain amount of energy and willpower when we wake up each morning, and it slowly gets drained away with decisions as the day goes by. This is especially true if you’re making hundreds of small decisions in the morning that will affect how you make decisions for the remainder of the day. It’s no wonder you’re struggling to focus in the office by 4pm. So, with this in mind, try and have the first hour of your day vary as little as possible regarding routine.

Next, I’ll show you how to implement an ideal morning routine that will allow you to systematically get through the morning quickly and effortlessly. It’s a framework to help you plan and prioritize different actions that will help you to feel energized and conserve as much energy as possible for the rest of the day (where the real action takes place).

But bear in mind, it’s not a schedule. Instead, it’s about finding the best order to do different actions, that will help you feel more energized throughout the day to give you maximum productivity.

Prepare Your Body

So let’s start with the first part of the morning routine – preparing your body. Preparing your body in the morning means jump starting your body’s engine so that the energy that you have accumulated from your sleep is ready to be unleashed for the day ahead.

A common belief is that if you get enough sleep you will automatically feel refreshed the next morning. But, I’m also sure that many of you are aware this isn’t always the case.

So what I want to show you is that there are other concrete steps that you can take every morning to get your body and energy levels started.

Take a runner for example. Before a race, a runner usually warms up, maybe with a leisure run or something to get their muscles and body ready for the actual competition. So similarly, after a good night’s sleep, our body has a build up of energy that is ready to be used for the new day. But, if we don’t ‘warm up’ or jump start our engine, we will not be able to effectively use that energy.

The benefits of preparing your body when you awake are that you become more alert, your body’s metabolism starts kicking, and you are able to use your energy more effectively. We’ve condensed 7 key actions that you can incorporate into your morning to awaken your body for the day ahead.

1. Wake up on time

The first is to wake up on time everyday. This helps you to regulate your sleep cycle with your body’s internal clock.

2. Open your curtains

Next, open your curtains the moment you get up. Natural light exposure helps to kickstart your body’s internal clock.

3. Make your bed

It’s as simple as that! Making your bed not only ensures you’re out of bed, but it also demonstrates discipline and order.

4. Rehydrate your body

The fourth action to take, an important one that is often neglected, is to rehydrate your body with at least 2 glasses, or 16 oz of water, the first thing after you walk out of your bedroom. Staying hydrated not only helps to kickstart your metabolism, but more importantly, after 6-8 hours without any liquid your body needs to rehydrate.

5. Do some light stretches

Once rehydration is out of the way, next do some light stretches or a quick 10 minute workout. Morning stretches or a light workout helps to wake you up from grogginess and limber up. A little physical activity also improves mental health, and reduces tension or body aches that might have developed from the days before.

6. Hop into the shower

Once you’re done with your light workout, it’s time to hop into the shower! I know this may sound almost redundant, but you’ll be surprised to find that some people do not take showers in the morning! Instead, they may take them at night before bed.

Taking a shower in the morning helps your body to wake up and it’s always good to start the day feeling and smelling fresh!

7. Have a good breakfast

Last but not least, before you leave for work, it’s important to have a good breakfast. Eating a nutritious breakfast will no doubt help to give an added boost to your energy levels.

Also, you won’t be famished when it’s near lunchtime which means you will have better control of not overeating during lunch.

Organizing Your Mind

What we’ve just gone through are ways to prepare your body physically in the morning. But there’s a little more that you can do to ensure you get the most of your day without feeling sluggish or exhausted. And that is learning to organize your mind–thoughts, actions and outstanding plans, so that your energy is prioritized for the day.

A common mindset that many people have is to just take things as they come, or wing-it throughout the day. But did you know that simply taking an extra 3-5 mins every morning to do intentional reflections and planning for the day can save you hours later in the day?

It also gives you motivation and additional drive to do more with the day ahead. Every minute spent in planning saves as many as ten minutes in execution. So if it takes about 10 to 12 minutes for you to plan out your day, this small investment of time will save you up to two hours in wasted time and diffused effort through the day.

1. Start by doing a 5 minute reflection.

This can be done while you’re having your breakfast if you want to save on time. Reflecting helps you to clear your mind, and allows you to think about the long term goals that you’ve set for yourself. Use this time to ask yourself if you’re nearer to achieving those goals.

Write down your thoughts if need be, as it’s a stream of consciousness of whatever is on your mind, and essentially a brain dump on ideas for business, life, and other decisions. Whatever you want to clear your mind of will get your brain working and thinking more creatively.

Once you’re done, the next thing to help clean up in your mind, is to look over your to-do list. If you have a digital to-do list on your mobile device, scan through it to see what are the tasks that you need to accomplish today.

Are there any existing errands or tasks not yet complete? Prioritize them so you can see what is most urgent. This will only take a minute or two to declutter.

2. When that is done, you can now plan out your day.

Always put the most important task first so that you ensure it gets done. Try not to book any meetings or appointments until late in the afternoon if possible, as your mornings are usually the sacred hours of peak productivity.

You want to be able to use the full bar of energy you have, and the morning caffeine (if you drink coffee) towards the most important tasks.

3. Once you’ve completed the sorting and organizing, it’s time to do some leisure reading.

This can be a quick 15-20 minutes of catching up on the daily news, browsing articles online or reading a book. By doing some reading in the morning, you’re fueling your mind with knowledge and inspiration.

Reading books on mindset, personal growth, and business for example, can also give you inspiration and gets your creative juices flowing for the day.

If you don’t feel like you have the time to do this at home, try doing it while commuting to work if you take the public transport. If you walk or drive to work, you can try listening to podcasts or audiobooks as an alternative.

4. Before you leave the house, pack healthy snacks to take to work.

As trivial as this may sound, being prepared is part of organizing your mind to ready yourself for the day ahead.

Having snacks at the office will help to fill in your pre and post lunch gaps, and that will help ensure you have a constant supply of energy throughout the day and avoid afternoon slump.

5. Lastly, leave plenty of time for your daily commute.

Leave room for potential traffic delays or transportation breakdowns so that you don’t come in to work feeling flustered or rushed, as that will dampen your mood, which is a big energy sucker.

Kickstart Your Day with the Right Routines

I hope you’ll agree that having a morning routine is the best way to kickstart and ensure that you have a constant flow of energy to help you stay productive throughout the day.

With every new routine takes practice and time, you may want to do a little bit of trial and error with the suggested routine to get comfortable with it.

Having a constant flow of energy is vital to help you stay alert and in control throughout the day. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to do more just because you’re lacking in energy or concentration.

Besides having a morning routine, there are other routines that you can try throughout different times of the day that will help you to generate or conserve energy.

As your productivity is closely associated to your energy levels, it’s important to find new ways of keeping your body energized. If you’d like to learn about the other routines, why not subscribe to our newsletter today?

  • Your financial situation is ever-evolving.
  • But there are certain ages in life when you’re most likely to reach a peak related to spending, saving, and earning money.
  • For example, the average American woman earns the most money of her career around age 40.

Your financial situation is ever-evolving — just like your happiness.

But like your state of mind, your finances are bound to peak at certain times in your life.

To find out what that timeline looks like for the average person, we’ve gathered some research on how Americans spend, save, and earn money.

The graph below pinpoints the age at which you peak at everything in terms of your money.

BI Graphics_the age you peak at everything financially

Keep reading to learn more about the five financial peaks:

Age 25: You spend the most money you don’t have

Anyone, regardless of age, can be guilty of overspending. But for the average American 20-something, the propensity to do so is often the greatest.

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a 25-year-old’s average pre-tax income is $ 31,000, while their annual spending is about $ 33,000.

That means they’re most likely racking up debt — or getting help from Mom and Dad — to cover their expenses.

Living beyond your means is a bad financial habit to adopt, but entry-level salaries, expensive rent, and student loan debt aren’t helping millennials spend less and save more.

Age 40: You buy a home

The typical US homebuyer is 40 and purchasing a home for $ 200,000, according to Zillow Group’s 2017 housing report.

But 42% of all homebuyers are part of the millennial generation — people between 18 and 37 — and becoming homeowners for the first time.

And many aren’t doing it alone. Nearly 70% of all homebuyers are married or have a partner and earn a median household income of $ 87,500.

Age 40: Women make the most money of their careers

Het Nieuwe Instituut/flickr

Women’s salary growth outpaces men’s up until about 30, when they start having children, then slows down considerably within the next decade, according to research from PayScale cited by CNBC.

College-educated women hit their peak earnings around 40, when their typical salary is about $ 60,000.

PayScale found that the most common jobs held by American women were registered nurse, elementary school teacher, and human-resources administrator.

The whole nation goes into overdrive as soon as a royal wedding is announced.

The hysteria was so extreme in the build-up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement that one Norfolk-based company had thousands of mugs and tea towels emblazoned with the couple’s faces ready to sell before the engagement was even definite.

Business Insider has compiled the one most iconic photo or painting from 26 of the 33 recorded royal weddings throughout modern British history.

Scroll on to see the royal weddings, in order from oldest to most recent, that have warmed the hearts of the British public throughout modern history — and to see how much fashion has changed since King George IV married Caroline of Brunswick back in 1795.

The first cousins’ marriage was not illegal at the time because the dangers inflicted on an incestuous couple’s offspring weren’t fully understood.

The Queen’s white dress was unusual at the time. It was more fashionable for brides to wear colourful dresses — especially gold. In the 19th century, a white wedding dress was actually a symbol of wealth rather than purity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mysterious health attacks on the American diplomatic community in Cuba continued as recently as August, the United States said Friday, despite earlier US assessments that the attacks had long stopped.

The US increased its tally of government personnel affected to 19.

The new US disclosures came the same day that the union representing American diplomats said mild traumatic brain injury was among the diagnoses given to diplomats victimized in the attacks. In the most detailed account of the symptoms to date, the American Foreign Service Association said permanent hearing loss was another diagnosis, and that additional symptoms had included brain swelling, severe headaches, loss of balance and “cognitive disruption.”

At the State Department, spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the US was continually revising its assessments of the scope of the attacks as new information was obtained. She said the investigation had not been completed.

“We can confirm another incident which occurred last month and is now part of the investigation,” Nauert said.

US officials had previously said that the attacks, initially believed to be caused by a potential covert sonic device, had started in fall 2016 and continued until spring 2017. Last week, Nauert had said at least 16 Americans associated with the US Embassy in Havana had been affected, but that the “incidents” were no longer occurring.

The evolving assessment from the US government suggested that investigators were still far off from any thorough understanding of what transpired in the attacks, which officials have described as unlike anything the US has experienced before.

Moreover, the fact there was an incident as recently as August indicated the attacks continued long after the US government became aware of them and ostensibly raised the issue with the Cuban government. That revelation created further uncertainty about the timeline of the attacks and who was responsible.

Notably, the US has avoided accusing Cuba’s government of being behind the attacks. The US did expel two Cuban diplomats, but the State Department emphasized that was in protest of the Cubans’ failure to protect the safety of American diplomats while on their soil, not an indication the US felt that Havana masterminded it.

US investigators have been searching to identify a device that could have harmed the health of the diplomats, believed to have been attacked in their homes in Havana, but officials have said no device had been found.

“We can’t rule out new cases as medical professionals continue to evaluate members of the embassy community,” Nauert said. She added that the embassy has a medical officer and has been consistently providing care to those who have reported incidents.

Asked for further details about what the US had learned about the cause or culprit in the attacks, the State Department said it had no more information to share.

But in Canada, a government official said that the Canadian government had first learned in March 2017 that one of its citizens had been affected by the attacks. Ottawa had previously confirmed that at least one Canadian diplomat was involved, but had not revealed any timeline for when it occurred or came to light. The official wasn’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity.

It’s unclear whether Canadians were intentionally targeted or whether there could have been collateral damage from an attack aimed at Americans, given that diplomats from various countries often live in the same areas of a foreign capital. US officials have said the Americans were targeted in their homes in Havana, not in the Embassy.

Canadian officials have been actively working with US and Cuban authorities to ascertain the cause. A Cuban attack deliberately targeting Canadians would be even more confounding, given that Canada — unlike the US — has long had friendly ties to Cuba.

The American Foreign Service Association, in describing the damage to diplomats’ health, said it had met with or spoken to 10 diplomats affected, but did not specify how many of the 10 had been diagnosed with hearing loss or with mild traumatic brain injury, commonly called a concussion.

Yet the confirmation that at least diplomats suffered brain injury suggested the attacks caused more serious damage than the hearing-related complaints that were initially reported.

Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, typically results from a bump, jolt or other external force that disrupts normal brain functioning, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Short- and long-term effects can include changes to memory and reasoning, sight and balance, language abilities and emotions.

Not all traumatic brain injuries are the same. Doctors evaluate patients using various clinical metrics such as the Glasgow Coma Scale, in which a numerical score is used to classify TBIs as mild, moderate or severe.

“AFSA strongly encourages the Department of State and the US Government to do everything possible to provide appropriate care for those affected, and to work to ensure that these incidents cease and are not repeated,” the union said in a statement.

Citigroup is staffing up for the robotic revolution.

The New York-based financial services giant has plastered online jobs boards advertising roles at a new automation center that will deploy new robotic technology throughout the bank.

Mark Costiglio, a Citi spokesperson, declined to comment on the matter.

The so-called Smart Automation Centre is looking for staff in at least five cities including Tampa, London, Singapore, New York and Budapest.

“The Smart Automation Centre will be responsible for partnering with our businesses and functions across Citi to ensure all the elements are in place for the rapid deployment of Robotics and other related technologies,” according to one ad on the firm’s talent search engine.

The bank is seeking talent spanning the seniority spectrum from junior engineers to senior vice presidents. The positions require varying levels of tech expertise, but the bank wants the center’s employees to fit a very specific cultural mold. 

“Must be entrepreneurial, and thrive in environments with a blank canvas that will allow you to flex your intellectual muscle to contribute to building a strategy from the ground up,” one job ad said. 

The firm is looking for at least two senior program managers to serve as a robotic “catalyst” who will partner with divisions across the bank to identify new technologies and lead their development from the use-case stage to full scale production. The senior program manager would also work with various groups within the bank to familiarize them with robotics and automation.

The bank is also looking for program engineers to support the “catalysts” in identifying automation opportunities.

A recent report by FIS, the global financial technology provider, identified automation as a critical growth lever for Wall Street firms.

“Driven by margin pressures and regulatory changes, institutions across the financial services industry have been working to deepen the automation of the transaction lifecycle for the last few years,” the report said.

Business Insider’s Oscar Williams-Grut recently visited UBS’ London office where they are developing a software program that automates some “boring” aspects of trading.

“These are all tools that belong to 2017 and beyond,” Beatriz Matin-Jimenez, chief operating officer of the UBS’ investment bank and the UK region, told Business Insider.”We believe this is the way banks are going to be more than ever.”

JPMorgan, which is spending big on technology as it looks to cut costs and increase efficiency, last year launched a predictive recommendation engine to identify those clients which should issue or sell equity. And now, given the initial success of the engine, it’s being rolled out to other areas.

And at an event in January, Goldman Sachs’ deputy chief financial officer Marty Chavez said the bank was focused on automating investment banking tasks. He said that the bank has mapped out 146 distinct steps in the initial public offering process, and that many of these are “begging to be automated,” according to MIT Technology Review.

Spaeth wrote in Coming Motherhood in 1907. “The index and middle fingers are placed, one on each side of this organ, and firm, moderately hard pressure is made against the bone with the direction of the pressure upward toward the abdomen; this is done by the attending physician, the nurse, or by the woman herself.

JOHN KASICH: See I think organizations work well when they have a leader that has a vision to take that organization to a better place. And then you have followers in that organization that buy in. Now if the leader gets off track why are the followers blindly following? They shouldn’t. And there are leaders within the followers, right? And somebody should have said something, not just in that, but in so many things. You know, Wells Fargo, there’s a perfect example, opening phony accounts. Now there were people inside that organization that complained,  but the managers didn’t listen. So, I think what we need to do is realize that values matter, that the virtues good … anybody who talks about these kinds of things can be hoisted on their own self-righteous petard, that’s, you can google that. Here’s the thing, we’re all hypocrites. We all say one thing and do another but why don’t we try to do what we say more than what we don’t. And so, when I look at United, I see a break down throughout that company but not just a guy at the top, but I think also the people that were there that day saying “you know, that’s not the way to treat a human being.” My wife says that the problem is John when you ask people to speak up and they have mortgages and kids it’s tough, and it is tough, but maybe that’s why the managers and leaders within an organization need to stand up. And the reason why this went viral is because people feel like nobody cares about them right? “Oh I’m just a passenger on a plane, I’m a widget they’re going to yank me off” you know and people are now saying “that’s not right.” See, if there is a growing sense in this country that this being disconnected is not good and there’s also some people that are staying in their silos who don’t want to come out but we have to pull them out and we have to pull ourselves together again.
