Reviewing the Top Breakfast Cereal Options: Best Rice Flakes on Pakistan

A Breakfast a Day Keeps Unproductivity Away 

My morning starts with a glass of warm lemon water. Afterward, I do some meditation exercises and yoga. One of the most important habits out of all this productive routine is having breakfast every day. No skips!

Oh, another thing about me is that I am always short on time, and managing a start-up is hectic. I have long working hours, and with a healthy breakfast in the morning I can be assured that my day will go productive and I will not be drained out of energy mid-way, running from meetings to meetings. 

So, how do I manage to stay fit, healthy, and always on the go when I have close to zero time to cook?
