How I ACCIDENTALLY became a "Morning Person"

EDC Maurice > Self Help Guru Maurice

& I’m the first comment so far so you know I ain’t a hater. I’m just explaining that your know-it-all style feels incredibly helpful when it comes to EDC reviews & annoyingly grating when it comes to life advice.

I’m sure some people glean something from the life advice stuff but it just feels hollow, lacking of depth. While the edc stuff might be the best on the web. Just my two cents and not said with any hate. I have my notifications on, for goodness sakes!

Edit for clarity: Not counting note taking tips as life advice. I view those as part of the every day carry informational / how-to stuff that you’re great at.

Just to counter one of the comments – I do find these kinds of videos helpful. I don't think they have a 'know-it-all' style. In any case, people who don't like these types of videos can simply skip watching them. I, and undoubtedly many others, appreciate them.

When you have children all the morning calming routines (or any calming routines for that matter) are all gone for good 10-15 years.

@MauriceMoves Thank you for another brilliant video. Your wisdom far surpasses your years.

A 5 year journal is a great idea. I started my A6 Hobonichi 5 Year January this year and I haven’t missed a day. I do mine in the evening though and have my TWSBI Diamond Mini dedicated to it.

After a few kids, your morning routine will change.

Great video!! Thank you for sharing all of this.

I thought about that 5 year diary a few times, but I never convinced myself to get it as I don't even use my normal diary daily. xD

I've always been a morning person, even on my days off including vacation I always wake up around the same time if not earlier than my work clock alarm. IF I wake up around 8am (on vacation/day off), I've slept in.

I'm going to rewatch this video... there's some good tips here. Thanks!

Love how you reframed the topic by focusing on outcomes, rather than actions. Made it specific enough to be useful, but general enough to be applicable to a wide range of lifestyles and needs. Cheers from a fellow canuck (west coast tho).

This video is really, really good. Excellent way to think about this topic, Maurice!

All these parents saying kids ruin calm in the morning. Just do what I do, wake up at 4:30am

Man, I love your stuff. Your style of breaking down your points is great and this one is one of my favorites of yours.

How to make your kids know you better:
Maurice: Write a Journal.
Ted: Spend 10 years telling kids the story of how he met their mom.

omg finally something that gets to the principles of morning routines, instead of saying something like "yeah just take a cold shower and microdose some yerba mate"

Self-love/care is not selfish. Taking care of yourself first then you can take better care of others.

Firstly, thanks for this very nice video I'm a big fan.
Secondly, for me, I feel like if I woke up early, brewed some turkish/arabic coffee, journaled and brainstormed with my most prized possession (my car) near me that I would achieve these 3 outcomes easily.

Love your videos. Maybe share how to journal, there is so much stuff out there and non makes to much sense to me.
Thanks for sharing.

Great Video again mate!
But wait?… you play Smash?!
Whos your main? It says a lot about a Person 😂

Btw: Joker Main

I'm not in debt, but I am so incredibly grateful for your ebook. This is very refreshing in the era of sold courses everywhere. Please never change, you're a dose of genuine humanity out there and this is precious.

Congrats! So great to see your channel grow. Cheers to your happiness

Plz make day in a life video.

Making eggs and drinking green tea best way to start the day. The earlier the better

Only recently subscribed, I found this video very insightful and now purchased the 5 year diary I'll start this in Jan :)

Actually, your three things you do ARE close to mine🎉 Grinding coffee beans 🫘 is very relaxing for me, looking at my Hobonichi Weeks planner and starting on my 8000 + steps daily ( I’m 67 with health problems). And using one of say…5 coffee cups makes the start of each day very grounding! Now I’m going to chop on my to do list and start with three most important things because you’re right, most days I just end up staring at it and getting little done! Thanks for the free “ Debt Sucks” ebook too🎉 Have a great day Maurice‼️

clicked cause i saw the alpinist

😊after watching several videos, as a woman, I really enjoy the way you think. I really like your organisation and the way you prioritise.

I respect and appreciate your openness about your loss
