It can be very hard to find time for yourself on a busy day but lifestyle blogger Monica Beatrice says this is key to a successful day.

Prioritising yourself doesn’t have to be selfish, says the podcaster. By setting yourself up for success, she says you’re more able to help others. We all know sleep is important but few of us prioritise it enough. Monica Beatrice tries to align with circadian rhythms, the natural sleep cycles that are unique to everyone. 

Once up, she ignores her phone until after she has filled out her gratitude journal and made up some micro and macro to-do lists.
