How to Create a Morning Routine (and Stick to It Long-Term)

If you want to build some structure into your day, try building a morning routine. In this video, I'll share what's worked for me for both creating one and turning it into a long-lasting habit.

Here's a look at my morning routine in 2019! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHKlmoaBhtqArLM

[@frankbassoff]

Bookend your day

[@hermanndelatorrew583]

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

[@hermanndelatorrew583]

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

[@quickscopedmofo]

Hey Thomas, how has your morning routine changed since this video?

[@Annitaahwanjiru]

@@frankbassoff 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

[@inFamousBeatbasher]

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.

[@ameera.manjoo]

ANTI V15T Habitica , coupled with a strong will power is definitely life - changing ;)

[@BellaAtkins]

ANTI V15T be very wary of burning out, especially if you've taken it all on at once. Novelty very quickly wears off.

[@9Nikko8]

Your comment inspired me. Thank you and best of luck to you!

[@Toffnm]

ANTI V15T i hear it takes 21 days to form a habit. keep at it, we believe in you!

[@Thomasfrank]

Nice work! Glad you decided to make a change - now keep it up!

[@gokk99]

Watching this at 3 AM, first point: wake up early. Nailed it.

[@cheaire]

Watching in 2AM here lmao (Almost because It's 1:53)

[@mollyfrog]

Yep it’s New Years and 2:53 I’m doing good in life.

[@aims2137]

2:00am 🤗🤗🤗

[@ridhavasingh4362]

Maybe y'all didn't sleep

[@salvahedplays]

4:02 here...

[@davidjung3145]

Didn't realize it was Thomas for the first five seconds, no wonder Clark Kent never gets found out--- it's always the glasses

[@Thomasfrank]

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!

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

supermans identity is super well protected

[@alexmga9303]

Thomas Frank I saw that video lol

[@WillBlacksilver]

Wait... what?

[@freezsmjeremydeguzman2521]

HAHAHAH lol.

[@farzana6924]

Lmao I found the beginning funny

[@americanaairlines1489]

Farzana Chowdhury i thought it was real at first.

[@paigec5017]

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

[@hijack69]

Farzana Chowdhury And the 6hrs of meditation

[@Mayramuffin]

And bulletproof coffee 🤣🤣

[@FilAlexa]

and mediclorians in the coffee... are we in Star Wars 😂

[@Duarte_martins]

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

[@olirmsa]

I think, number 3, building a routine is the most important

[@Thomasfrank]

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 :)

[@VENUEATHENS]

Thomas Frank Mel Robins has some nice content on this topic, with her 5 second rule, how the brain works within that context.

[@bc7570]

Please fix it... OCD going cray

[@ahmadalkhateeb5992]

Excited for it 😍👍🏽

[@Thomasfrank]

Can't be fixed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@user-ul3ew2su7m]

despite that, I've noticed that the overall quality of your videos is really improving .. keep it up !

[@wellwithmeri8222]

Has vegan protein bar company.... eats all the meats for breakfast. lol XD

[@jamesgarlick4573]

Hey, just because he caters to the vegan community doesn't mean he has to be vegan lol!

[@rebeccasperring1747]

Lol was just about to comment this! So funny!!

[@Real.Pocahontas]

Keto breakfast 👏👌😋

[@itsamaniarts]

I was wondering if anyone was gonna say anything lol

[@shanicemccormick7886]

Thought it was a joke

[@FreedominThought]

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 !

[@tabone888]

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 KZbin 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.

[@saww8713]

" I run 14 miles, and then I read 2 books..."

[@heyyou3609]

Ikr that was funny 😂😂

[@Thomasfrank]

You're not putting enough butter in your coffee. You need at least a kilogram

[@alexdattel2757]

You know why? KNOWLEDGE

[@hatyer3308]

Alex Dattel 😭😂😂😂😂 that reference

[@mojo5093]

plus he's ceo of the happy gorilla vegan bar :D

[@rachellynmara]

I wasn't looking at my phone as the video was loading and I thought the beginning was an ad 😂

[@The_-mk6mt]

Me too

[@thecookiegirlgamer8851]

Sammeee

[@RajveerDhanak]

Yes, Midichlorians are good for you, but don't FORCE yourself into consuming it.

[@fillemonhaufiku2091]

G

[@lmtt123]

I knew you were going to type that before you woke up

[@jaysonterry5978]

Guess if I wake up earlier I could learn how to have the high ground!

[@Painfulwhale360]

Rajveer Dhanak Do you mean mandalorians?

[@Alpha-ob2nv]

GG Dude.... GG....

[@MrRaitachi]

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.

[@Ruby-zj2zf]

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?

[@parth8486]

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!

[@FreedomKingdom]

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

[@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892]

Impressive! I for one should just not look into the mirror every morning and just trust that I'm there then! Right.

[@bratzandanimelover]

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. :)

[@Thomasfrank]

Glad it helped! Good luck on those exams :)

[@ronirony2122]

Ioana Georgiana senioritis...

[@atwom5686]

How was the exam after 4yrs

[@Dude0413]

PERFECT TIMING. Been planning mine for the past week. Thanks!

[@Nobodydu77]

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 !

[@aminulislamishmam5607]

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!!

[@notofficiallyriver]

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 :)

[@katrobinson4137]

River Jn that's awesome!!

[@Thomasfrank]

Mission accomplished! :)

[@tabbywarrior]

I like it actually.

[@kyraocity]

Your vids help me tweak my routines and habits constantly and I always recommend your vids to my college students.

[@Lmaotfbro]

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! ❤️

[@clementsaudu8751]

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.

[@nash5262]

The way you include sponsorships in your videos is very impressive.

[@sophisticatedserpent1512]

Wait, What sponsorship?

[@TheWeddle93]

Videos getting shaper , engaging and fun .

[@apurbabiswas7218]

I love the style of content. Casual yet serious and informative. Thanks Tom, keep it up!

[@thabodennis]

Your lighting is soooo good... honestly... great content by the way... thank you

[@Waleed-nj1ob]

Consistently Useful Content! Fantastic Work

[@craighamilton4189]

so he owns a vegan company and eats so many aminal products! lol . Great video dude!

[@Thomasfrank]

I'm really happy you caught that joke. Most of the people I showed this to during editing didn't catch it :P

[@TheVeganFreediver]

I thought the same :D obviously... lol

[@mairaaris8945]

Craig H. are you vegan tho?

[@andrewdwilliams]

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.)

[@KimBirdwondersChannel]

Thomas Frank are you a vegan?

[@Stevenuge]

love the new editing and direction. you're growing as we learn from you

[@CMSchlenke]

Thomas, thank you for all of the helpful content.

[@taylormaclean5834]

*runs a 150% vegan protein bar bussiness *eats only animal products for breakfast. XD

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 👍

[@KailashG]

@Thomas Frank MAN your editing in this video is on point! loved it! the humor and everything!

[@dr.aydingoksin]

you and your advenced tips

[@trebturner]

You got me with that beginning for a second...

[@DJPrestPasta]

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!

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

Great video man! Been binge watching your content for around a week at this point, seriously good stuffs!

[@auntiemichelleoutdoorsygir9909]

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.

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 !!!

[@manualdoandroidyt]

Thanks for the video!😉😁

[@ishbanyadav]

Watching this at night with a surity of not waking up next morning.

[@rizvankhan7801]

Mr IY same here

[@APokeInTheEye]

Wow "surity" is that actually a word? I learned a new one anyway 😬

[@amaranthabowl2708]

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.

[@Thomasfrank]

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.

[@ladyecks613]

I loved that you answered this, haha

[@rhiannapendergrast7259]

[@BuisnessBacca007]

I'd would also recommend by the same brand of sock in bulk

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.

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

I was soo close to clicking out of the video when I heard 6 hours of meditation😂😂😂

[@soundninja99]

I needed this so bad. Thanks Thomas. Oh, and that skit, in the beginning, was great.

[@georgegeorgakopoulos4305]

Love your Videos Thomas... Keep it up!!

[@lovacsnova]

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.

[@Thomasfrank]

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.

[@lovacsnova]

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

[@mmouse]

FMA and Sailor Moon posters +100 cool points

[@j045ua]

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!!!!

[@lacremadelalucha4587]

Awesome content Thomas! I certainly will use this advices to become even more stronger! Thank you!

[@21EpicFail]

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!

[@the6ammeowmeows372]

So many good tips!! 😻 Thank you Thomas for sharing!!

[@CDeruiter5963]

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...'

[@Thomasfrank]

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 :)

[@CDeruiter5963]

Oh man, I wasn't expecting a reply...Now I feel bad :( Still love your content though. Keep up the good work!

[@Thomasfrank]

No worries!

[@ZenLeee]

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?

[@ZenLeee]

btw 6:33 editiing mistake

[@americanaairlines1489]

Eldy Russian Intervention?

[@ZenLeee]

I don't get the connection. ?

[@glowfishin1]

ooo... good question!

[@Thomasfrank]

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.

[@serenarussel5164]

Love your videos like always

[@johncabrera9954]

Great advice 👍 Thank you!

[@BellaAtkins]

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!! 🍳🍳

[@ninestepstohome8699]

Just a dose of protein and fat, no carbs til afternoon.

[@njoinvisablegirl]

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.

[@ninestepstohome8699]

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?

[@jimmcbroom8845]

Thank you this video was lots of help.

[@15welcometomyworld]

The image quality in this video is so pro! Looking forward to next week video Thomas (:

[@MurphyMosby]

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

[@Mehrathon24]

6 hours tutionsand 6 hours selfstudy. Bhai tu toh iit crack karega.

[@Thomasfrank]

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.

[@sizzlinsj8135]

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.

[@danianceb]

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 : )

[@ninestepstohome8699]

What a great video. Thanks, Thomas. I like to clean and straighten up the house a little too.

I think haircut

[@grrrgrl101]

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.

[@storieswelove4048]

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 :)

[@wordsofwisdom3617]

It's said that some personality types don't like routines

[@LymariSantiagomusic]

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...

[@BaniElena]

Awesome video as always!

[@Luqas808]

Thank you, I love your channel

[@quintym7090]

I snooze my alarm clock on purpose, I just set it 10 minutes earlier. is that failure too?

[@vn01208503]

nah, it just your way to wake up

[@letdein]

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

[@Thomasfrank]

Why interrupt your sleep early? You'll get better-quality sleep if you just wake up when you intend to wake up.

[@letdein]

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?

[@alskndlaskndal]

How do you listen to a podcast while showering??? Doesn't your phone get wet???????

[@Thomasfrank]

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.

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!
