Start the morning with “good energy”

For Marie Kondo— Netflix star and bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing — starting the morning with "good energy" is important for productivity. According to Kondo , her a.m. ritual involves opening up the windows, burning incense, and saying a prayer—but your morning routine should be whatever leaves you feeling relaxed, energized, and motivated, whether that’s a 30-minute yoga class , writing in your journal , reading a book , meditating , or whipping up a healthy breakfast .
