We love a morning routine and setting intention for the day, the simplest things have the power to set you up for a positive day. We asked friends of AOL the first thing they do when they get to the office, get ready to be motivated for the week ahead, after all your future lies in your daily habits.

I have a strong coffee and I check in with my team. In order to get the most out of each day, communication is essential. I love our En Gold family, everyone comes to work everyday contributing to a common goal in building this brand together. We are extremely collaborative and close. - Steffanie Bell, EN GOLD

I make some fresh Chai Tea with Oat Milk! - Elise Pioch Balzac, MAISON BALZAC 

Connect with my team, open my to do list and get stuck into the day. - Olivia Moon, NODI RUGS 

Light a candle & put music on. - Abbey Ginns, HUSKI STUDIO 

Coffee in hand I map out my day, I’ve tried to make this a digital thing but am always drawn back to pen and paper, there’s something tactile and visual about it that makes it seem real and manageable. - Edward West, POHO FLOWERS

I used to be straight in, head down to crack on with work but now I start the day chatting to the team catching up on all happenings professional and personal – it’s exciting to talk to adults after a morning of baby chatter! Then I deep dive straight into my emails. - Montarna Pitt, THE AUDIENCE AGENCY
