Why Morning Routines Matter

Before we dive into the routines, let's talk about WHY mornings matter.

The Science:

Your brain is at its best in the morning. After sleep, your willpower is at maximum. Your focus is sharp. Your decision-making is clearest.

Studies show:

  • Morning routines reduce decision fatigue

  • Consistent rituals lower stress

  • Starting strong creates momentum for the entire day

Translation: Win the morning, win the day.

What Successful People Know:

They don't wing it. They don't scroll Instagram for an hour. They don't hit snooze five times.

They have a SYSTEM.

And coffee? It's not just caffeine—it's the anchor. The ritual. The signal that says: "Let's do this."

Morning Routine #1: Maria - Tech Entrepreneur, NYC

Who She Is:

Maria, 32, runs a tech startup in NYC. She's raised $2M in funding, manages a team of 12, and still finds time to work out and see friends.

Her Morning:

5:30 AM - Wake Up (No Snooze)

"I put my phone across the room so I have to get up. No negotiations."

5:35 AM - Hydrate

"First thing: 16 oz of water. Your body is dehydrated after sleep."

5:40 AM - Workout

"I do 30-45 minutes. Either a run, gym, or YouTube workout. Non-negotiable."

6:30 AM - Shower & Get Ready

"This is when I'm thinking about the day. What's the ONE thing I need to accomplish?"

7:00 AM - 787 Coffee

"I walk to 787 Coffee. Every. Single. Day. I order a hot latte with oat milk. I sit for 10 minutes, drink my coffee, and plan my day in my notebook."

Why 787?

"The vibe. The energy. It gets me in work mode. Plus, the coffee is actually good—I can taste the freshness."

7:15 AM - Deep Work

"I get to the office or a coffee shop and do 2 hours of deep work before meetings start. This is my most productive time."

Why It Works:

"I win the morning BEFORE work even starts. By 9 AM, I've already worked out, planned my day, and made progress. Most people are just getting to their desk."

Why This Phrase Resonates (Especially With Coffee Drinkers)

You might be thinking: "What does this have to do with coffee?"

EVERYTHING.

Coffee Culture = Hustle Culture

Think about who drinks coffee:

  • Entrepreneurs building empires

  • Students grinding through exams

  • Athletes pushing limits

  • Creatives making art

  • Professionals closing deals

Coffee drinkers are ambitious. They're hustlers. They're NOT delicate.

They're bebesotas/bebesotos.

The 787 Coffee Customer

Our customers are:

  • Starting businesses

  • Leading teams

  • Crushing goals

  • Making moves

  • Taking risks

They don't want to be seen as "bebesitas"—cute, small, soft.

They want to be seen as "bebesotas"—powerful, confident, unstoppable.

This shirt IS them.

The Common Threads: What They All Do

Let's analyze what these successful 787 Coffee customers have in common:

1. They Wake Up Early

Average wake time: 5:30 AM

Not 9 AM. Not "whenever I feel like it." Early.

Why: More time. More focus. Less distraction.

2. Coffee Is Part of The Ritual

100% of them drink 787 Coffee in the morning.

It's not just caffeine—it's the SIGNAL. "Time to work."

3. They Have Systems

None of them "wing it." They all follow a routine.

Why: Routines eliminate decision fatigue. You don't think, you execute.

4. They Move Their Bodies

Most of them work out, walk, or do some form of movement.

Why: Physical activity wakes you up and improves mental clarity.

5. They Plan Their Day

Journals. Notebooks. Mental review. They know what they're doing BEFORE they start.

Why: Clarity = productivity.

6. They Win The Morning

By 9 AM, they've already accomplished more than most people do all day.

Why: Momentum. Once you start strong, you keep going.

Step 5: Plan
