"I start my days incredibly optimistic about tackling all of my duties, but by 10 a.m., I often find that I've already veered so off course that I'm left wondering if it's even possible to check off everything on my to-do list,still log off in time for a workout class and dinner, and somehow go to bed at a reasonable hour. That anxiety of being behind can ruin my days, and I'm tire of it."
"But I don't want to solely focus on squeezing the most out of every minute. I want to start my days intentionally and with a bit more joy rather than just rushing and then realizing I'm behind. So, the obvious person to chat with about my morning routine and what I can do differently is the happiness expert herself, Gretchen Rubin. I've devoured every one of Rubin's books over the years, from The Happiness Project to The Four Tendencies"
