GETTING BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS

After a summer of longer evenings, holidays and more relaxed schedules, September can feel like a bit of a reality check. Early alarms are back, to-do lists are growing and suddenly there never seem to be enough hours in the day. If you’re searching for ways to get back to routine in the UK, the key isn’t necessarily to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight. Instead, it’s about introducing small, manageable habits that make everyday life feel a little easier. Something as simple as making time for your morning tea or coffee can help create a sense of familiarity and structure. It’s a moment that’s just for you before the day gets going. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.

START YOUR MORNING WITH A PROPER BREW

We all know the feeling. The alarm goes off, you hit snooze one too many times and suddenly you’re rushing out the door. But what if you gave yourself just five extra minutes in the morning? Rather than reaching straight for your phone or diving into your emails, start your day with a brew you genuinely enjoy. For the traditional tea lovers, our Change Brew Everyday Tea is the perfect way to kick-start your morning. Made using tea sourced from Kenya and Rwanda, it delivers that familiar, satisfying flavour you expect from a proper British cuppa.

Prefer coffee? Our Coffee with Chicory combines 70% instant coffee with 30% chicory for a smooth, balanced brew with less caffeine than our regular instant coffee equivalent. It’s a great option for anyone looking to enjoy their morning coffee while being a little more mindful of their caffeine intake. Whatever your preference, a few quiet minutes with your favourite mug can make those early September mornings feel much more manageable.

MAKE TIME FOR A MID-MORNING BREW BREAK

Once the working day gets going, it’s easy to find yourself jumping from one task to another without taking a proper break. But being busy doesn’t mean you have to skip those little moments of downtime. Whether you’re working from home, heading into the office or managing a busy household, a mid-morning brew break is the perfect excuse to step away from your screen and reset. Put the kettle on, stretch your legs, have a quick chat with a colleague or simply enjoy five minutes away from your to-do list. Building these little pauses into your day can help make your routine feel more balanced and manageable. After all, sometimes the most productive thing you can do is take a break.

A STEADIER APPROACH TO YOUR AFTERNOON COFFEE

We’ve all experienced that afternoon slump. It’s 3pm, your energy is dipping and you’re wondering how you’re going to make it through the rest of your to-do list. For many of us, the automatic response is another coffee. But if you’re looking to build steadier habits this September, it might be worth thinking about what you’re drinking and when.

Our Change Brew Coffee with Chicory offers a different take on your usual coffee. Made with a blend of instant coffee and chicory, it delivers a smooth coffee experience with a lower caffeine content than a comparable serving of regular instant coffee. Chicory also naturally contains inulin, a type of prebiotic fibre. It’s an easy way to switch up your usual coffee routine without giving up the taste and comfort of your favourite brew.

And remember, an afternoon reset doesn’t always need caffeine. Sometimes a short walk, a glass of water or a few minutes away from your desk is just as welcome.

SMALL HABITS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

When it comes to getting back into a routine, consistency is more important than perfection.

You don’t need a complicated morning routine, an endless list of goals or a complete lifestyle makeover.

Instead, focus on the little things that make your day feel good.

Start your morning slowly: Give yourself five minutes to enjoy your tea or coffee before the rush begins.

Take regular breaks: Step away from your desk and make time for a proper brew.

Find your favourite: Choose a tea or coffee that suits your taste and daily routine.

Create moments of connection: Share a brew with a colleague, friend or family member.

Keep it simple: Build habits that are realistic and easy to maintain.

Sometimes, it’s these small everyday rituals that help us feel a little more organised, comfortable and ready for whatever the day brings.
