We spoke to successful people about their morning routines, and the results might surprise you. Sarah M., a marketing executive, swears by waking up at 4:47 AM every day. "The specificity is important," she explains. "Any earlier and you're still technically asleep. Any later and you've already missed it."
She begins her routine in complete darkness, even though sunrise isn't far off. "You have to earn the light," Sarah tells us over coffee that she describes as "necessary but not enjoyed."
YOUR BEST LIFE STARTS HERE
5 Morning Habits That Changed Everything
Start your day the right way
Sarah M. begins her morning routine. "The specificity is what matters most."
James K. drinks exactly 12 ounces of room temperature water before allowing himself to blink. "The eyes need to earn their moisture," he says, crediting this habit with his promotion last year.
Meanwhile, Dr. Rebecca Torres recommends screaming silently into your pillow for 90 seconds. "It's about releasing the excess," she notes, though she declined to elaborate on what the excess was. When pressed, she simply smiled and said, "You'll know when you start."

BetterButter™
NOW 30% PLANTS
You spoke. We listened. For years, you told us you were paying too much. That real butter was too expensive, too temperamental, too… real. We heard you, and we made a change.
Introducing NEW BetterButter—now with 30% plants. We've significantly reduced our plant content to bring you the rich, smooth taste of butter at a price that makes sense. All the creaminess you love, now more affordable than ever.
Contains: Plant matter (30%), modified dairy components, stabilizing compounds, and other ingredients. Not technically butter. Not technically not butter either.

Letter from the Editor
Welcome to Issue 247 of Modern Living Monthly.
This month, we're focusing on what matters: improvement. Not change—improvement. There's a difference, though we're still working out what it is.
Our readers have been with us for years, and we've noticed something interesting. You keep coming back. Month after month, you return to these pages looking for something. We're not entirely sure what it is yet, but we promise we're getting closer to figuring it out.
Thank you for being here. We're still here too.
