This story isn’t going to be a productivity guide.

I’m paraphrasing a line that goes something like this: “The quality of your morning decides the overall performance of your day.” This means if your morning goes well, there is a high possibility that your overall day will go well too.

But it’s so easy to ruin your morning and thus the overall day. Wake up. Grab your phone. Open Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube — watch and doomscroll unless you don’t feel hungry. Eat breakfast. Watch Tv. Read newspaper. Take a nap. That’s how you ruin your morning and the overall day.

You do nothing important.

So if you don’t do anything important in the morning it’s so obvious to feel unproductive or unmotivated to start the momentum of doing something creative like doing your main work.

So what should you do in the morning to make your overall day effective?

Well, it depends on person to person. But I can safely say that the answer would be the same for all professionals — whether you’re a student, writer, programmer, coder, or YouTuber.

Here’s what you need to know:

Do your main task first in the morning.
