Whatever your morning routine was before the pandemic, it may be a little rusty after months of working from home.
Many people also rush through this key time without putting much thought into how it might affect the hours to come.
Fall is the perfect time to reinvent the start of your day, says Liz Baker Plosser, author of the new book, "Own Your Morning."
Begin by setting a special wake-up time. For Plosser, it's 5:17 a.m. because her lucky number is 7. The key is to pick a number that's special for you and avoid the generic 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. wake-up time.
"There's just a psychological energy to starting the day with a number you chose that matters and is important to you," she said. "I am much less likely to press the snooze button when I set my phone alarm to an odd number."
