Research from the World Economic Forum shows that successful people put their mornings to good use. The researchers have listed 14 things that successful people do in the morning before the first meal of the day. These things include exercising, spending time with the family and working on a personal hobby.

    The research suggests that we don't have to do all the 14 things every day. We can choose some of them to start the day. Here are some examples.

    Get up early. According to Laura, 90% of CEOs wake up before 6 am on weekdays. PepsiCo CEO(首席执行官) Indra Nooyi, for example, gets up at 4 am and is in the office  no later than 7 am. At the same time, Disney CEO Bob gets up at 4:30 to read, and Twitter and Square CEO Jack gets up at 5:30.

    Drink water instead of coffee. Drinking water in the morning makes you more active and speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢).

    Make your bed. This leads to a happier and more productive day.

    Exercise. Exercising in the morning helps reduce stress.

    Make a plan for the day. Using the morning to make a plan for the whole day can help you decide what you will do first.
