I’m no stranger to working from home. I used to do it a lot working at my last job and being a digital entrepreneur, my home is my headquarters. Now that this is our new normal (for the moment) and I can’t go sit down in a coffee shop to work, it’s still best to stick to a routine. Sticking to a routine helps with productivity and makes you feel somewhat normal in these uncertain times.
7:00am
Naturally, I’m an early riser. In order to have a productive morning, I make it a point to get up and get ready as if it was a normal day. I make my bed, drink, water, take vitamins, shower, and do my skincare routine.
Shop skincare
Around 7:30-7:45am, I will pick out a comfy outfit to work in and apply light makeup since I will show my face on Instagram stories and vlogging for YouTube.
Shop my easy beauty routine
8:00am
Now I set up my computer, make my coffee and get to work. If I published a blog post the day before, I will approve and respond to comments, check emails, and write a to- do list. Coffee is much needed during this time so I’ll either make coffee in my Keurig or order Starbucks to go.
9:00am
Once I get my to-do list done and other obligations out of the way, I will make a quick breakfast. I have been making breakfast tacos using Siete Almond Flour tortillas, air fryer bacon, eggs, and salsa.
10:00am-12:00pm
After I eat my breakfast, I will block out a couple of hours to dive in the work. I will pitch and/or follow up for potential projects, plan my content calendar, draft blog posts/plan videos, and work on back office things for my website. Then I will make lunch and continue to work for the rest of the day!
During this time of being at home, I like to use this time to be as productive as possible. I do have days where I felt like I didn’t work to my full potential but there’s always the next day.
What’s your WFH morning routine? Let’s chat in the comments!
This sounds very familiar to my morning routine! Morning is my favorite time of day to get things done. I like to use the afternoon to get a work out in and do other self-care and home tasks. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a good schedule! Having a good routine like this is key in staying successful during this quarantine!!

It’s great that you’re keeping a routine! I’m an early riser too and my day feels way better if I can have a good schedule/routine in the morning.
Love your morning routine! It is really great to get started and be productive! I want to try the Ordinary skincare you linked! I heard so many good reviews
I’ve been working from home for almost 5 years – and my routine is pretty simple. This is mainly due to the fact that I don’t get up early. My chronic illness makes mornings particularly challenging, so I sleep til 8 and I don’t usually even leave my bed until 10:30 or 11. I work in bed, get up and shower and/or get ready, make coffee and drink it with my husband, have breakfast, and go right back to work again. Pretty chill haha!
