273. The psychology of routines

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Morning, weekly, day-time and night routines are something that successful people swear by. Whether it's a 5am wakeup followed by 45 minutes of meditating, or a structured skincare and journal routine, exercise and eating blocks, routines seem to provide what the modern world can't: certainty within the chaos. 

In today's episode, we break down the exact psychology behind why routine is so powerful, including: 

  • Why routine makes us so productive
  • Why routine makes us happier 
  • The psychological and neurological impacts 
  • The famous routines of 5 successful people 
  • How to create a routine that actually works 
  • Why we can't forget the need for spontaneity + more 

Listen now to create your greatest morning or night routine!
