Woke up at 5:20 am today and got ready for the gym. Yes I am that guy with a morning routine. I didn’t develop a routine until I was 25. It feels good that everyday the first thing I do is wake up at the same time and go to the gym (except Sunday). That takes care of my first task of the day.

☑️Wake up 5:20 am and kick ass at the gym! 💪

Before I ever watched this video on YouTube. I wouldn’t take my morning routine seriously. I was constantly waking up late and never being accountable for missing the gym. When I got out of bed I would complain that I didn’t want to go to work. I pretty much felt lazy. Well those days are long gone. I remember when I saw the video it inspired me to make a morning routine and keep following through. Done with one task on to the other and so on. Once I kick ass at the gym I head home to eat, shower, and get ready for work. How ever since today is Saturday I didn’t quite go to work. Instead I went to work on my home. A couple weeks ago I broke the switch for the light in our living room. Its a dimmer and the only way to turn it on is you had to stick a small object in the gap and drag the switch by the base to the top. Well I added it to my list and finally got to it. Plus it looked super dangerous, so I moved it to high priority.

☑️Go to Lowes and buy a new light+fan switch 💸

This is my first home I ever bought and I decided that if I were to ever own a home, I would DIY everything I could. So after buying the parts and tools from Lowes we went home to DIY install the light+fan switch. This is definitely something I have never done before. Well with the help of YouTube and content creators. I was able to find a video to help me install it the right way. It was a success! I finished my next task and already I accomplished so much this morning. I must keep the flow going.

☑️Install light+fan switch and don’t get shocked ⚡😵

So on to the next task. Help wife clean our bedroom fan and install two light bulbs. I say help my wife because originally this was my task, but she got motivated by me being productive and she took charge. She climbed to the top of the latter and wiped down every nook and cranny on it. When she was threw there was a pile of Clorox wipes all black and filled with cob webs. She took out the old light bulbs and replaced them with two new ones. Let there be light!

☑️Clean bedroom fan and replace the lights 💡

Today has been a productive day! Its far from over, but since I was expecting company later, I had to finish everything before they came. Next few tasks on my list are not as interesting as the above. I will list them instead because its just simple chores like cleaning and more cleaning.

☑️Clean Dishes

☑️Clean Kitchen Floor

☑️Clean Side of House

☑️Install Toilet Paper Dispenser

☑️Learn to Code

Just start with one task and do another and another. Eventually you will be very productive and feel accomplished. That feeling is so awesome I can’t describe it. You must try it to experience it. Plus I got to blog again today. I have to keep going.


If you’ve felt any sensation at all and want to let me know. Give me a clap 👏.
