## Resource

In this episode, Tidy Dad reflects on his own journey of adjusting his sleep schedule to wake up early. He outlines his current morning routine that allows for self-care and productivity before the chaos of the day begins. He encourages listeners to find what works for them, rather than trying to replicate his exact routine. Three key principles that guide his morning routine: * I give myself the first fruits of the day, before I’m “on.” * I look for progress I can repeat, not perfection I can’t sustain. * I rely on a simple sequence of tasks, not an overwhelming set of rules. He shares specific details about his morning activities, from gentle yoga and cleaning to preparing breakfast and engaging with his children. But this conversation isn’t about waking up earlier. It’s about deciding when YOU get to be a person. You don't need a perfect routine. You need one that fits YOUR season of life. What fuels you? Follow Tidy Dad on Instagram! This is a public episode.
