“I used to dive straight into emails, Slack, and bug reports the moment I opened my eyes. I thought that’s what hustle looked like—until I realized I was burning out.”
Lately, I’ve been working on rewiring how my day starts. I’ve always believed in pushing boundaries—whether it’s through app development, building digital businesses, or exploring literature. But the truth is, all of that suffers if the foundation (my mind and energy) isn’t stable.
So, I made a change. Here’s what my new morning routine looks like—and how it’s helping me perform better in code, creativity, and client communication.
🌅 1. Digital Sunrise, Not a Digital Storm
Instead of checking my phone first thing, I give myself 30 minutes of digital silence. I do light stretching, drink warm water, and write three things I’m grateful for. It’s cliché, yes—but it works.
Clarity before code. That’s the rule now.
📖 2. Spiritual Grounding via Literature
Running the sanatani_sahityakar page isn’t just about posting. It’s a reflection of my roots. Reading a short Sanskrit shloka or a piece of Indian poetry in the morning gives me spiritual and cultural grounding. It reminds me why I do what I do.
💻 3. First Hour: Building, Not Reacting
Whether I’m working on my enhanced calculator app or drafting UI for the parking app, I block 60–90 minutes of deep work. No notifications, no emails—just creation. Mornings are gold for focused problem-solving.
☕ 4. Mindful Coffee + Business Checks
After coding, I step into “CEO mode.” I review dropshipping sales, check messages from Wolt clients, and plan my blog/Instagram content. Doing this after deep work helps me feel accomplished and centered—not overwhelmed.
🧠 5. A Gentle Reminder: You Don’t Have to Do Everything
I’ve started delegating small tasks, using automation, and accepting that rest is also part of progress. That’s a big mindset shift. Success isn’t speed—it’s sustainability.
✨ Final Thought
If you’re juggling roles—developer, businessperson, student, creator—don’t wait for life to slow down before taking care of yourself. Design your mornings so your day doesn’t design you.
