 I'm really crushing it. I'm really exhausting myself. And when I'm working during that hour in the morning, I'm really mentally into it. I'm really putting a lot of effort in. Here's everybody, Ricky Kruth here. Welcome back to my channel. So today I wanna talk about my new morning routine through the week. Okay, so I'm always trying new things when it comes to this. And I just wanna share, as I go here, you can go back and see other videos where I talked about morning routines and how I'm doing this and how I'm doing that. But I wanna tell you today what I'm doing right now, okay? And I've been doing this for maybe a month now. Okay, a little more, maybe five weeks. And I really like this one, okay? So I'm always changing it up because I'm always looking for the one that fits me perfectly and I just haven't quite found it yet. Okay, so that's why I'm always changing it up. And until I find something that I feel like it really just fits me, I'm gonna keep searching and we keep trying new things. And normally when I try something, I give it about 90 days, okay? And then at the end of the 90 days, if I feel like it's not exactly doing what I want it to do or accomplishing what I want to accomplish, I'll change it up and I'll look for something new. Okay, so I really like this one right now though. I really feel like it's something that I could really dig my feet in with and stick with for a long time. But here it is, okay? I'm getting up at 4.30 in the morning. Now I've been doing that for a long time. Okay, 4.30 has been a thing for me for maybe a year now. So I get up and I work during that 4.30 to 5.30 period, that extra hour, okay? That's five extra hours a week, okay? That's more than a half a day. That's really a whole day. I'm getting a whole extra day in my week than most everybody else because I'm working an extra hour every morning. Okay, so think about that for a second. Really, really, really powerful. Okay, so 4.30, work, okay? Then I go to the gym. All right, I'm at the gym by six or so. I'm riding my bike there. I'm working out and riding my bike back, okay? Then I hit the office. I'm there by eight. I have a 30 minute meeting with myself, a little meeting with my assistant and then boom, I'm off to the races with whatever the priorities are for the day. Making phone calls, following up, showing property, listing appointments, podcasts, traveling to speak, whatever the case may be. Whatever's on my list, I'm executing, okay? But we're not talking about that. We're talking about my morning routine. So as soon as I get up before 30, I drink a bottle of water, okay? While I'm making my coffee. So I got a bottle of water and then the coffee while I'm working, okay? Then I have a pre-workout drink, okay? Before the gym. So then I go to the gym. When I get back, I have breakfast, okay? Breakfast and then I drink a protein shake, okay? So by the time I get to the office, that's where I'm at. And then I make a huge glass of water as soon as it gets to the office, okay? And I'm gonna sip on that glass of water till it's done while I'm working all morning and then I'm gonna fill it back up. I'm gonna refill and I'm gonna keep that glass of water full for the entire morning till lunch, okay? So I'm trying to stay hydrated. I'm trying to keep the hydration on because the dehydration is what hurts most people and they don't even realize it, okay? They just get busy, they don't think about it. They're not drinking water and then they get tired, they're mentally fatigued, they're making bad decisions, they're not as motivated, they don't know what's wrong. It's because they're not drinking enough water, okay? Around 10 o'clock I have a little snack, okay? Then I do lunch, okay? So that's my morning routine. Now, my morning routine through the week, okay? So 4.30 is really early, okay? And I really grind because when I go to the gym, I'm really crushing it, okay? I'm really exhausting myself and when I'm working during that hour in the morning, I'm really mentally into it, I'm really putting a lot of effort in and so I'm really burning a lot right there. So at nighttime, I stay up till 10 or so, so I'm getting some good sleep hours but not necessarily as much as a lot of people would think you need, okay? So what I've started doing is catching up just a little bit, about an hour catch up on Wednesdays. So 4.30 Monday, 4.30 Tuesday, 5.30 on Wednesdays because I'm gonna take a break from the gym on Wednesdays. So I'm working out, I'm working out Tuesday, I'm taking a break on Wednesday, okay? And then Thursday, same as Monday and Tuesday for Thursday and Friday, 4.30, the whole nine yards and then Saturday, I'm gonna sleep in a little bit and go to the gym. That's where I'm gonna make up my fifth day. I've been doing this for, like I say, five weeks now and I really like this rhythm, okay? Because think about it, whenever you work out Monday through Friday, then you have two days off in a row, okay? If you take days off, you have two days off in a row which is what I have done in the past but doing it this way, when I take a day off in the middle of the week and then just on Sunday, I'm only taking off one day, you know, the two days that I'm taking off aren't in a row, right? And so I like that and I like the fact that I get a little extra sleep in the middle of the week, okay? I get a little extra sleep on Saturday and Sunday to kind of catch up to whatever sleep I'm missing, okay? And then I just feel really energized. I feel really rejuvenated. I feel really recharged, okay? So that's how I lay out my week right now. It's really working for me. I'm really liking this and we'll see. I have another month and a half of this and we'll see what I think about it at the end of this 90 days. So I just thought I'd share this with you. Give me a thumbs up and comment below. Let me know what you think. I know a lot of you, because every time I post something about a morning routine or something, a lot of you say, well, you should do this and you should do that and you should try this and that and I like those comments because it gives me a little perspective on different things and it might give me an idea on what the next thing I'm gonna try is. So definitely leave me your opinions and what you think and let me know what videos you want me to make. If there's a certain kind of video you want me to make about anything, just comment below and I'll work on it and I love you guys. We'll talk to you soon.
