In most places in the United States, the school year has ended. Whether or not you have school-aged kiddos, the end of the school year often signals a change to our rhythms and routines. Activities end. New ones begin. The sun stays up later. We move. Or go on a trip. Or just enjoy the change of pace.

But let me ask, what do you want out of this summer?

Because what you get out of this summer is up to you. And with a little intentionality, you can have a summer that moves you closer to your goals and dreams. (Yep, even in the middle of a crazy PCS).

Maybe what you’re after this summer is just the chance to rest. Or maybe you want to invest in your kids a little more. Perhaps you want to finally launch that business. Or find a way to be present with your kids, while still working from home.

If you want to be intentional and productive with your summer, then you need to carve out time for one thing…a morning routine.

In this episode we discuss why this routine is so important, and ways to structure it to give you the desired outcome you are after. A morning routine does not have to be rigid, but carving out time for this routine might be the difference-maker between a summer of joy and a summer of exhaustion.
