As the leaves start to change, marking the unmistakable shift into fall, many of us feel an inherent pull to refresh, reboot, and reset. If you’re anything like me, you sense the need for change every time the season turns—a fresh slate, a chance to reassess and re-energize your daily routines. This past fall, I found myself in a rut, stuck between the busyness of work and the monotony of everyday life. That’s when I decided it was time for a reboot—a reset not with sweeping life changes, but with micro-habits that gently nudge my flow into a more productive direction.

I firmly believe that a great day begins with a great morning. Back in the hustle and bustle of my work-from-home setup, I used to wake up just in time for meetings, a coffee cup perpetually in hand to mask my grogginess. The frantic start left me feeling like I was constantly trying to catch up. Something needed to change. That’s when I stumbled upon a simple yet transformative solution—a 7-minute morning routine designed to build momentum for the entire day.
