How to Romanticize Your 9–5 Routine This Fall
We hope you're freshly caffeinated from a PSL while reading this because we have a lot of work to do on romanizing our routine.
9-5s get a lot of hate out there, but we are here to say that there are plenty of ways to make your 9-5 feel like the freelance life; it all depends on how you look at it. Here's how we would romanticize a 9-5:
Start in the Morning
Swap your regular coffee for something fun and seasonal - cider, that PSL we mentioned, whatever your local coffee shop's special is.
Light your fall candle while you're getting ready
Play your fall playlist
Pick out an outfit that makes you feel confident
Try a fall makeup look or a new fall perfume scent
FALL in Love With Your Workspace
Add seasonal touches (fall-scented candles, mini pumpkins).
Keep a cozy throw blanket or fun new fall mug
Change Up Your Lunch Breaks
Take a walk outside.
Pack fall-inspired meals: soups, harvest salads, apple crisps.
Binge a fall show or movie while you eat your lunch.
Make The Most of Your Commute
Listen to an audiobook, cozy podcast, or fall playlist
Carry It Into Your 5 to 9
Cook seasonal dinners with fall ingredients
Walk through the aisles of Trader Joe's for fall-themed flowers and snacks
These might seem like small shifts, but embracing the seasons is a great way to add variety to your routine. Fall is the perfect time to "fall" in love with your routine again.
So, which of these are you trying first?
