Today, I wanted to share a little secret that’s made a big difference in my life:

Having a solid morning routine.

There’s something magical about starting the day with a sense of purpose and clarity. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a quiet cup of coffee, or some journaling time, setting a positive tone in the morning can make the whole day feel more manageable and productive.

But here’s the kicker—this morning routine mindset isn’t just for getting your day off to a good start.

It’s also the perfect inspiration for tackling bigger tasks, like tax prep.

Just like a good morning routine sets you up for daily success, having a weekly tax organization rhythm can help you stay on top of your tax preparation.

Imagine this: every week, you set aside a little time—maybe it’s a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon —to review your receipts or organize your expenses. It doesn’t have to be a huge chunk of time, just a consistent, dedicated slot where you focus solely on your tax-related tasks.

By incorporating this into your weekly schedule, you’ll find that tax season becomes a lot less stressful.

No more scrambling for documents or trying to remember what that mysterious expense was from six months ago. Everything will be neatly organized and up-to-date, making the whole process smoother and more efficient.

So, if you haven’t already, give it a try!

Head to this week’s YouTube video to see the four things I do for my weekly tax organization rhythm.

It starts with a morning routine that gets you focused for the day, but transitions to a rhythm that makes tax season less stressful. Trust me, your future self will thank you.
