Intro Gwen, have you ever woken up totally confused about what day it is?

And then accidentally spent an hour doom scrolling TikTok in bed?

Leo, that sounds like the most chaotic way to start Monday.

Wait, Monday?

I thought today was Sunday.

Sunday.

This morning I watched a guy cook ramen with Coca-Cola.

Let me guess, you open just one video,

then another, and another, and suddenly, boom, an hour's gone.

Exactly.

By the time I looked at the clock, it was 9 a.m.

I hadn't even brushed my teeth,

but I did know how to make a seven-layer matcha pancake.

That's why daily routines are so important.

Without them, it's so easy to lose time doing things that feel fun,

but leave us feeling kind of empty later.

But hold on.

Are you saying I have to wake up at 5 a.m.,

run 3 kilometers, and drink celery juice to be healthy?

Such perfect routines are not for me.

Not at all.

There's no one-size-fits-all.

The best routine is the one that works for you.

What matters is that it works for you and helps you feel like you're choosing your day,

not letting your phone choose it for you.

Wow, that sounds kind of deep.

So today, we're talking about our daily routines.

The good, the bad, and the messy.

Yeah, and what it's really like to follow those habits.

You'll hear some ideal habits,

and some very honest, very human ones.

Some might even call them Leo-style routines.

routines.

Not perfect, but definitely entertaining.

That's the spirit.

And we'll go through each part of the day.

Morning, work time, afternoon, evening, and bedtime.

Let's jump into it.

So let's start with the morning.

My morning routine is, well, a little detailed.

I wake up at 6 a.m no snoozing.

I do 10 minutes of meditation,

write in my journal, and then I have a healthy breakfast,

usually oatmeal with fruits or a smoothie.

That sounds like a self-help book.

Meanwhile, I hit the snooze button like three times.

Then I finally open my eyes,

grab my phone, and scroll.

Instagram reels, food videos, funny fails,

and those oddly satisfying cleaning videos.

The internet is dangerous in the morning.

But seriously, your morning affects your entire day.

There's science behind this.

When you start your day with calm and focus, your brain works better.

You're more productive and less stressed.

I've heard that before, and I want to be that kind of person.

But honestly, those videos are the first thing my sleepy brain wants.

I tell myself, just one video,

but suddenly, it's 40 minutes later and I haven't even gotten out of bed.

That's super common.

One simple tip, put your phone far from your bed.

That way, you have to physically get up to turn off your alarm.

Hmm, so I'm tricking my lazy self.

I like that.

Another idea is giving yourself something small but nice to do in the morning,

like playing music you love while brushing your teeth or opening the window to feel the air.

Something real, not digital.

I could try that.

Maybe play my favorite playlist while pretending I'm not 30 minutes late.

It's not about being perfect.

It's about starting better.

Even one small change can shift your whole day.

Alright, one small change.

Maybe tomorrow I'll scroll after brushing my teeth instead of before.

Baby steps, right?

Exactly.

Baby steps are still steps forward.

Okay, now let's talk about work.

For me, I like using time blocks.

I plan what I'll do in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

I also use a system to decide what's important and what's just… noise.

You mean you actually sit down and plan your work?

Yep, it helps me stop feeling overwhelmed.

And I take breaks on purpose.

Short ones.

Not accidental one-hour snack breaks.

Oh, so that's where I went wrong.

My five-minute break usually turns into a scroll through three social apps,

two memes, and a video of someone organizing their fridge.

That sounds oddly specific.

It's always the fridge videos.

Why is it so satisfying to watch strangers clean their shelves?

I don't even clean my own fridge.

Your brain loves that quick dopamine hit.

But after too much, it actually gets tired and harder to focus again.

That's why I set a timer.

I work for 25 minutes,

then take a 5-minute break.

I've heard of that.

100

The Pomodoro thing, right?

101

I tried it once.

102

It worked but then I forgot to keep doing it.

103

That happens.

104

Want another tip?

105

Make your workspace feel like a focus zone.

106

Clean desk, comfy chair, maybe a plant.

107

Keep your phone far or use apps that block distractions.

108

So you're saying no TikTok breaks, no fridge videos?

109

Exactly.

110

Even a tiny change like putting your phone out of reach can help you stay in the zone.

111

It seems that you're right.

112

The few times I actually did all that,

113

no phone, clear desk, timer on,

114

I was like a machine.

115

A productive, happy, snack-powered machine.

116

That's the goal.

117

We don't have to be perfect every day.

118

But when we do follow our system,

119

it really makes a difference.

120

My only problem is remembering to follow the system.

121

Then let's make it simple.

122

Just choose one work tip to try tomorrow and write it on a sticky note,

123

then stick it on your laptop.

124

Great idea.

125

Tomorrow's sticky note.

126

No fridge videos before 3 p.m.

127

Progress.

128

Leo, proud of you.

129

All right, let's move on to the afternoon.

130

Ever feel like your brain just powers down around 2 or 3 p.m.?

131

Oh, yes.

132

That's when my brain goes into nap mode,

133

even if I'm still sitting at my desk.

134

That's totally normal.

135

It's called the circadian dip.

136

What's that?

137

Our body naturally loses energy in the afternoon, especially after lunch.

138

Ah, that explains it.

139

I always thought it was the universe telling me to take a break,

140

or that big bowl of noodles I had for lunch.

141

Maybe both.

142

But there are ways to handle that energy drop,

143

like eating a light, balanced lunch,

144

something with protein, and not too much sugar.

145

Ok, so I have to say,

146

buy the giant chocolate muffin followed by a second coffee?

147

That's a recipe for a sugar crash and a caffeine roller coaster.

148

Instead, try moving a little,

149

a quick walk, some stretching,

150

or just standing up and breathing deeply.

151

I usually just pour myself more coffee.

152

My third cup of the day is basically my 3pm tradition.

153

Caffeine can help, but too much in the afternoon might mess with your sleep later.

154

So you're saying I should walk instead of drink coffee.

155

What if I just walk to the coffee machine?

156

Not quite the same.

157

But even five minutes of real movement can wake up your body and brain.

158

Or if you're really tired,

159

a short nap, like 15 to 20 minutes, can help a lot.

160

I'm scared of naps.

161

I always wake up confused, thinking it's 2026.

162

That just means your nap was too long.

163

Keep it short and sweet, just enough to recharge.

164

Alright, maybe I'll try a walk tomorrow,

165

and if I pass the coffee machine on the way,

166

well, we'll see what happens.

167

Baby steps, Leo.

168

Baby steps.

169

So do our listeners.

170

No need to be on a hard-code mode right away,

171

just chill in an effective way.

172

And yeah, it's time to talk about a time that we need to chill.

173

Evening.

174

That moment when work ends and you can finally relax.

175

So what are we going to talk about that?

176

Well, at that time, it's important to set clear boundaries.

177

When work time is over,

178

I turn off my work notifications.

179

No more emails, no more messages, just me time.

180

Wow, that sounds peaceful.

181

Meanwhile, I'm over here answering emails with one hand and holding my phone with the other,

182

watching funny dog videos.

183

Oh no, multitasking during dinner?

184

Not even dinner.

185

I usually just order something,

186

sit on the couch, and scroll until I forget what I ordered.

187

That doesn't sound very relaxing.

188

It's relaxing for like 10 minutes.

189

Then I feel weird, like my brain is still in half work, half scroll mode.

190

That's why creating a relaxing evening routine matters.

191

After work, I like to cook something simple, nothing fancy.

192

Then I read a book or listen to music.

193

That actually sounds nice, but don't you get bored without screens?

194

Not really.

195

I use that time to let my brain slow down.

196

No screen, no pressure, just something I enjoy.

197

Maybe I need to start with one small thing,

198

like turning off my email after 7 p.m.?

199

That's a great start.

200

Or try eating dinner without your phone.

201

Even 10 minutes of no screen can help your mind feel calmer.

202

Okay, okay, I'll try.

203

Maybe I'll even cook.

204

Or at least boil water.

205

Every evening routine starts somewhere.

206

Now let's talk about bedtime.

207

My night routine is simple,

208

but it really helps me sleep better.

209

I'm listening, but I'm already yawning.

210

First, I turn off all screens one hour before bed.

211

No phone, no laptop.

212

Then I take a warm shower and read a paper book.

213

A paper book?

214

Like, the ones with pages?

215

I haven't touched one of those in ages.

216

My bedtime routine is scrolling on my phone until my eyes hurt.

217

That's actually really common.

218

But phones give off blue light,

219

and that light tells your brain, hey, stay awake.

220

That explains a lot.

221

I always plan to sleep at 11.

222

But next thing I know,

223

it's 1am and I'm watching a guy make ice cream using snow and a hair dryer.

224

That sounds creative, but not very sleep friendly.

225

It's not.

226

I turn off my phone and just lie there,

227

wide awake, like my brain is still spinning.

228

That's what blue light and late night scrolling does.

229

It keeps your mind active,

230

even when your body is tired.

231

So what do I do?

232

Just lie in the dark and stare at the ceiling?

233

Not at all.

234

Try this.

235

Set a wind down alarm.

236

When it goes off, put your phone away.

237

Do something slow.

238

stretch, journal, or listen to calming music.

239

Hmm, I could try music,

240

maybe whale sounds, or rain, or soft jazz.

241

Whatever works for you.

242

The goal is to tell your brain, it's time to rest.

243

I'll be honest.

244

Changing this habit won't be easy.

245

That just one more video voice in my head is strong.

246

Start small.

247

Even 15 minutes of screen-free time before bed is a good step.

248

Alright, I'll try it tonight.

249

But if I end up dreaming about ice cream made with snow, you know why.

250

Sweet dreams, Leo.

251

Literally.

252

Okay, let's check out and learn some phrases appearing in this podcast.

253

The first one is scroll through.

254

It's to move through content on a screen, like your phone.

255

Example, Leo scrolled through Instagram for an hour without noticing.

256

That's called research, right?

257

That's up to you.

258

Okay, the next phrase is doom scrolling.

259

It's looking at lots of negative or endless content online.

260

It's not healthy to spend the night doom-scrolling news before bed.

261

Agreed.

262

Then we have run on autopilot.

263

The meaning of it is doing something without thinking, like a robot.

264

I used to be so tired and I ran on autopilot all morning.

265

Until you smelled coffee.

266

Alright, the next phrase is time block.

267

It's a scheduled period for focusing on a task.

268

Example, I will try to time block my day to stay on track.

269

Good start, Leo.

270

Here is the last phrase today, put something away.

271

It's to stop using something and store it.

272

Example, you should put your phone away an hour before sleep.

273

I know, I know.

274

Let's change the subject to answering the questions.

275

Since you start this session,

276

so you're welcome to ask me first.

277

Of course, why are morning routines considered important for the rest of the day?

278

Easy.

279

Because a calm and focused morning helps the brain work better,

280

reduces stress, and sets a positive tone for the whole day.

281

Well done, and it's your turn.

282

Why is it helpful to make small changes instead of trying to be perfect?

283

Because even one small habit shift can positively affect your entire day,

284

and it's easier to maintain than a full routine change.

285

That's correct.

286

So, what did we learn today?

287

That I probably need to stop watching fridge-organizing videos during work.

288

That's one part.

289

But more importantly, building good habits takes time.

290

You know, I'm just kidding.

291

Of course, I now this podcast's message.

292

And yeah, it's not about going from zero to perfect overnight.

293

Exactly.

294

It's about starting small.

295

Even one tiny change can make a difference.

296

Like brushing your teeth before scrolling TikTok.

297

Or turning off email notifications after work.

298

Or reading a book instead of watching someone make ice cream with a hairdryer.

299

Change takes time, no matter what it is.

300

Just remember to stay patient and keep going day by day.

301

The point is, we don't need perfect routines.

302

We need progress.

303

So if you're listening, choose just one habit to start tomorrow.

304

One small thing, nothing crazy.

305

Then tell us how it goes.

306

Drop a comment, share a funny story,

307

or just let us know you're trying.

308

Because trust me, no one gets it right every day.

309

No one has a perfect routine.

310

And that's okay.

311

What matters is that we keep going instead of focusing on what's not perfect.

312

So keep it chill, keep it real,

313

like you're chilling with this podcast.

314

And we'll see you in the next episode of PodChill.

315

Bye for now.
