Revamping Your Morning Routine: 15 Minutes for Productivity

Chapter 1: The Unexpected Productivity Booster
Initially, I never considered endorsing television as a beneficial activity. For years, I held strong opinions against it, claiming:
- No TV. It’s just a distraction.
- No TV. It will dull your intellect.
- No TV. You won't achieve your aspirations.
However, in a surprising twist, I now advocate for a small dose of TV in the mornings. What prompted this shift in perspective?
After realizing that watching TV could enhance my productivity, I felt compelled to share this newfound practice, which I refer to as TEM. While I can’t cite any scientific studies to back it up—aside from some vague references to dopamine and adrenaline research—it’s more about my personal experience.
Let me illustrate with a brief anecdote.
One morning, about half an hour after waking up, I decided to turn on the TV. This was unusual for me, as I typically avoided it altogether. Simultaneously, I began a light workout. Nothing extreme—just a few minutes of yoga followed by some basic cardio and ab exercises.
As I exercised, I found myself engrossed in the show. I absorbed the visuals, sounds, and even the subtitles, which helped quiet my previously chaotic mind.
In that moment, I felt an unexpected calmness. There were no racing thoughts, no worries—just silence.
What was happening?
After contemplating this experience, I dismissed it as a fluke. Yet, to my astonishment, this tranquility lingered throughout the day, significantly boosting my productivity. Tasks that once seemed daunting felt manageable, and I accomplished more than I had in days.
What was the secret formula for this mental clarity?
TV + Exercise + Morning = a tranquil mind = enhanced productivity
Naturally, I wanted to share TEM with others. And no, there's no envy involved.
So, here I am, penning this brief article for those who constantly juggle numerous thoughts, possess boundless energy, and struggle with focus and task completion.
Though I still face challenges in accomplishing everything, my experimentation with TEM continues to evolve.
Section 1.1: My Personal Formula for Success
I’ve discovered that 15 minutes of TV paired with an empty stomach yields the best results. Additionally, selecting content that is mildly engaging works wonders. It should be captivating enough to maintain interest without being so engrossing that I lose track of time.
Interestingly, TEM doesn’t trigger the typical dopamine or adrenaline responses; instead, it offers a unique kind of soothing stimulation. It’s not about excitement or joy, but rather a gentle nudge that helps my brain enter a productive state for the day ahead.
