About this routine

The Joanna Gaines morning routine centers on taking early solitude in the garden before running a design empire and managing family life. Taking time outdoors first thing gives her space to process thoughts, check on plants, and start the day with quiet intention.

Gaines has frequently spoken about her garden as a place of rest and restoration. Before her kids wake up, she walks through her raised garden beds, checks on young seedlings, waters her plants by hand, and tends to her greenhouse and coop. This quiet sequence helps her settle her mind before project demands begin.

Anyone can adopt this approach by stepping outside first thing in the morning without screens. Spending 45 minutes outdoors following a timed morning routine with coffee, plant care, and simple chores creates a calm buffer before daily demands take over.

Why this routine works

Provides quiet outdoor solitude before family and work obligations start
Encourages screen free presence at the start of the day
Connects daily focus to physical work and outdoor care
