"The morning is full of possibilities. Some of those possibilities include snoozing your alarm 10 times in a row, spacing out in front of your coffee maker, and getting back in bed just to lie down for five more minutes (which turns into two hours). You can also get up quickly and be productive, but that's very much easier said than done."
"The "no sitting" rule isn't new or attributed to one specific person, per se, but it was recently discussed in a popular Instagram Reel by content creator Sophia Lee. In the video she shares how she started using the "no sitting" rule about a year ago, and how this mindset shift has made her "so much more productive in the morning.""
"Instead, she strips her bed, starts a load of laundry, makes tea, chooses an outfit for the day, sorts through dry cleaning, and opens a package without taking a break between each short task."
Mornings present choices that often lead to snoozing, lingering by the coffee maker, or returning to bed for more rest. Getting up and being productive feels difficult for many people. A simple approach called the "no sitting" rule encourages starting the day by immediately doing short, practical tasks instead of sitting down to rest or check a phone. The approach originated from observing someone who "doesn't sit down" and keeps moving from one task to the next. Typical no-sitting actions include stripping the bed, starting laundry, making tea, choosing an outfit, sorting dry cleaning, and opening packages. The rule allows occasional sitting when needed but prioritizes momentum.
