Dreamed up by Michael Xander and Benjamin Spall, with editing help from Michele Boltz, My Morning Routine is a retired independent online magazine that published a brand new, inspiring morning routine every Wednesday between December 2012 and July 2019.

During those six and a half years, we published 341 routines, and sent a total of 2,214,300 emails to our newsletter subscribers.

In May 2018 Portfolio/Penguin published My Morning Routine: How Successful People Start Every Day Inspired, in which we interview sixty-four of today’s most successful people about their morning routines—including three-time Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Soni, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, and General Stanley McChrystal—and offer advice on creating a routine of your own.
