Start Your Morning Out Right, Part 2

If you have decided to become a serious sports bettor, you have embarked on a journey which can be rewarding in more way than one, but it can be a taxing one too.  Conducting the kind of ongoing, detailed research and analysis that sports betting demands can really eat up a lot of your time each day.  Trying to get through all of those tasks each day so you can place smart bets can be a challenge even if you are betting fulltime.  But if you are also trying to work a day job somewhere, you have double the challenge.

This makes it essential that you have a productive morning routine!  That way you can start out your day right and get everything done (or at least as much of it as possible).  These tips should help you out!

• Don’t spend a lot of time on pointless choices in the mornings.  Figure out what you will wear the day before, or keep your wardrobe simple with only a few options.  Eat the same breakfast each day.  This frees up time and mental energy to make choices relating to betting instead.

• Eat a healthy breakfast.  What time you eat is up to you based on what is best for your body (for some people, eating first thing in the day is best, while others do better getting some work out of the way first), but make sure that you get the nutrition and energy you need each morning.  Get plenty of protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

• Have a morning ritual.  Unless you are one of those lucky people who are really awake when they wake up, you probably need a few minutes to get your brain and body into full gear.  Try to come up with a routine that helps you do this quickly and efficiently.  That way you can start working on your betting sooner rather than later.  Drink a cold glass of water, eat a healthy meal, work out for a few minutes, go on a walk, meditate, listen to music, watch the sunrise, or just sit for a few minutes.  When you find something that works, stick with it!

• Figure out when your productivity windows open and close and use them.  Odds are there are specific times when you tend to be more or less awake, alert, and productive throughout your day, especially in the mornings.  If you can figure out when your windows are, you can set up your schedule to use them to their fullest advantage.

All of these morning routines will help you to wake up and get the most out of your time.  It isn’t easy trying to work a day job and also bet on sports profitably, since you are basically working two full-time jobs.  If you want to be successful, you have to become a productivity expert along the way.  Be sure to read Start Your Morning Out Right, Part 1 for even more great tips and tricks!
