MY 5AM MORNING ROUTINE | realistic habits for a productive and cozy early morning

[@Katie.Callaway]

Peep that cute little surprise in my morning routine around 27:55 🥜

[@ToniSturrs]

I just want to say, I am so grateful that this is SO realistic. You haven't given up all sugar, your clothes aren't perfectly free of pet hair, even your shoes are normal human person shoes, that have actually been worn. So many of these routines I watch and just know if I even attempted it I'd just feel like a failure. This feels real and attainable. Thank you ❤

[@bkobular]

Okay but why did that little squirrel interaction make me tear up?!

[@trevinoc7795]

Girl i am OBSESSED the the digital calendar thanks so much!!!!!

[@kirahvi2766]

Finally found morning routine where the vlogger really take the dog out and keep it free instead of cage! You have 1 new follower :)

[@helibloo3867]

Love your little squirrel friend, I have them come every day in my garden, they always make me happy 😊

[@elainahinton]

This is so refreshing to watch because we’re literally so similar. I’m a huge morning person but my husband doesn’t get up till 6 or 7 (only because he has to haha), I thrive on to-do lists and journals, I often equate my mood and my day based on how much I got done (which I know is bad but I kinda can’t help it). I also work from home, so your comments about having a clean space are SO accurate. So funny to see someone who is saying all these things I can relate to. Love your videos 💗I subscribed

[@SugarBerry_Crossing]

I love this. I appreciate how realistic your morning goals are and how you put yourself first. I feel these are “guidelines” that I could easily apply to my own routine! Thank you Katie!

[@verodg2820]

I really enjoy how you make everything so aesthetically pleasing while at the same time being very real and authentic and also reminding that this is what works for you and it may not work for everyone. My routine is largely dictated by the kid’s routine. Sometimes I wish I could be an early riser and have some time for me in the morning before the whirlwind of the routine with the kids (during the school year… in the summer it’s different), but I am not an early bird at all and so I try to make time for me in the evening. The issue is, however, that since my kids are getting older and so go to bed later and later, it shrinks down my me time. So maybe waking up early is something I should try. But also the thing is, I have a lovebird and if I get up before everyone, he’s gonna start chirping very loudly and wake everyone up!

[@emm.crossing]

I love how real you keep it 🤍

[@luciannedemarco6296]

Hi Katie - I just found your channel while I was looking for "daily routines". I'm 58 and (sadly) have not perfected my life routine. I find so much inspiration from how others do their life / routines. I also noticed your coffee cup. WHAT? War Eagle. My son graduated from Auburn in 2021. We are from Chicago. I will definitely implement some of your ideas. I think my biggest take away is having some non-negotiable routine items in my day. Thanks so much! All the best :)

[@danielaconti2431]

I vibe with you so much. The waterpik, thr water drinking, the pets….. wow

[@sarastilleke]

This is such an approachable morning routine, thank you for sharing! And your fur babies are adorable ❤

[@rubioflondon7945]

You really inspire me. Thank you!

[@maxielove1957]

I downloaded your planner and really enjoyed using it

[@julietlovett]

Hi Katie 🌼 I usually never leave comments, but I've been listening to your island tours while working on my new house (yes, only listening, because just your comments and reactions are super comforting to me!) and I just now discover your lifestyle channel!... Life has been tricky and difficult for me lately but this video really calmed and inspired me so thank you! Thank you just for being you & sharing it 💕

[@Katie.Callaway]

Thank you so much, Juliet! Sending you all the love 💚

[@franziskagrasso4956]

Great tip with the coffee incentive for drinking water ❤

[@jessyskehan1696]

First time watching your videos. I’m also an early riser. Starting my morning with everyone still sleeping and the quiet eases me into a productive day. I added Atomic Habits to my reading list…and I also have a squirrel, a little red one, I’ve called Squirelly. No hand feeding, but I make sure it has peanuts to eat on our deck. (I also feed the birds, including a Hairy Woodpecker I’ve called Woody who has visited the feeders for 2 years now.)

[@lightandlovewithjess]

I love it. The first video I've ever seen with an actual realistic morning routine. I loved it. Thanks for making this video.

[@Katie.Callaway]

Thank you so much, Jess! :))

[@lubitemazuba6814]

I love your journaling. Definitely took some notes.

[@susyminaya9559]

Thank you for sharing! It was so nice to meet Stanley too lolzz!

[@Itsrachelmccarthy]

I’m here for the squirrel. 😂

[@kelli5339]

I also LOVE an early-morning routine for me time before the hubby is up!! Hehe. Love this video and all the recs!

[@heathermccoy7246]

I love your island tour videos so I’m so freaking excited KZbin recommended this video to me! Can’t wait to watch more of your routine videos! ❤

[@mireyaocadiz3775]

Hi!! New here!! I love your videos!! Please share more, like an evening routine!!! Take care!!

[@nadiasdays702]

Beautiful morning routine, what a cute squirrel 🐿️🥺

[@nildasuzette2]

thanks for the planner. I love it!

[@BamBabyBrenda]

Yes! Someone else that consumes an insane amount of water! Lmao, I always freak people out when I show them how much water I drink in a day

[@dianegeee]

Love the realness of this 5 am routine! Awww Stanley! Love the close up ❤

[@gaablove8054]

Literally subbed right after the intro

[@Dermatillomaniac]

New sub here 🌿 This was in my recommended and I'm so glad it was! I felt like I was chatting with a friend. Can't wait to watch more!!

[@amoremusica]

I truly enjoyed this video! Can you share what pens, markers and journals you used? Thanks in advance

[@anneculler5625]

My morning routine is rolling out of bed and getting to the computer to work within 5 minutes of being up lol I always wish I had me time, maybe I should start at 5am like you

[@missis_minette9481]

I am the worst at having a morning routine. I have none. I like that yours doesn’t involve going to a gym. I live going for a run, but not early in the morning 😆. Also: I need a squirrel in my life.

[@Larzaparz]

I love this.

[@viktoria_t-ko]

Hello! you have a very nice style of making videos 😍. good luck in the development of the channel!

[@AnggiSahamCantik]

The squirell is the best part of the video 🤣

[@astronimiche4436]

Im out here seeking 5am motivation and you would not believe how many videos are carbon copies of the same process down to the products and even scripts! No shame or shade just an observation. But above all else, thanks for being genuine and true to you. You really stand out, make sense, and have a nice personality. Wishing you the best on your endeavors!

[@iris4736]

Thank you for your realistic routine! Can I ask which app you use on your tablet (iPad?) to write on your planner?

[@Katie.Callaway]

Hi, Iris! :) Absolutely! I use the app called "GoodNotes".

[@iihotcocoaii5786]

Love the video it’s so aesthetically pleasing but on a side note make sure to trim your candle wicks🤍

[@Katie.Callaway]

Thank you!

[@_thehappyhomemaker_]

I really loved your video and I'd love to see an evening routine :) new subscriber xx

[@jenerin75]

What are those gold sticks that you light? Ive googled all kinds of different ways and can’t find anything close. I’m new to your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos. New subscriber!

[@MattsTechToolBox]

[@MyreloKing]

Hi Katie! Are you willing to reshare your digital calendar that is linked in this video???

[@shyliewoods]

A quick hello from a newbie follower in Tasmania :o) "When your day goes to sh*t" made me laugh out loud. Really enjoying your videos.

[@mrsjacobtiner]

[@elin_ostad]

Hi, Katie! I stumbled upon your channel by accident, and then shortly noticed something very familiar about your voice.. best regards from a fellow ACNH player!!

[@Aacas06]

I go to bed from 12 to 2 am, so a 5 a morning routine is not for me. And is something that not a lot of people talk about. To wake up early you have to go to bed early, it's a must

[@inspirasievirdienasie9628]

Your hand is so beautiful. I love your nails...

[@jousselinmata1046]

Love the ring can i have the link

[@ilsa7081]

I don’t think that 5 am is realistic but I really enjoyed your video😍😍

[@adriannasantillan7070]

I have been debating the hatch alarm clock forever! But I’m worried it will wake my husband up too???? Does anyone have any experience with this or have any recs? Does this wake y’all’s husbands up!?!

[@Katie.Callaway]

That's exactly why I LOVE it! It doesn't wake my fiancée up as long as I keep it on my own nightstand that's closest to me - But I guess it totally depends on your husbands sensitivity to light, but for me it works perfectly. :) Thanks for watching, Adrianna!

[@southernbelle2478]

In the morning im trying to wake up not relax lol. I get up shower turn on all the lights eat and leave

[@brittanydemenuk3213]

Good morning.

[@TheImperfectReader]

That's funny I've made half of a bed before lol haha

[@alexismiller9578]

[@ParkorPlays]

I’m only 5 minutes in but I have to comment on how much I LOVE my waterpik! It was such a game changer for me, one of the best investments I’ve ever made 🙌🏼
