How do you start your day?
Coffee and dxp these days…
I am not a breakfast person. Then I take care of my hygiene, shower, makeup, etc. Then I decide what to do with my day. Every day is different.
Posted by ScorpioDreamsMy work day doesn’t start until 8, but I wake up at 5:30. I usually get a shower, get the cats fed and taken care of and then I have my morning coffee and breakfast while doing some reading or watching a show, listening to music etc. before starting my day. It’s nice to have that quiet me time to get me in the right mindset before the busy day begins. If I don’t get that time, my day normally doesn’t go well. Lol
I like this. It’s sounds relaxing for a morning routine. What time do you go to bed?
Take my meds, eat breakfast, shower, shave, style my hair up (sorry I gotta keep up my appearance). Once I'm done with all that I kick back and unwind usually if I'm not going nowhere.

It honestly varies depending on how tired I am. Usually anywhere between 9pm and midnight.

Wow. Midnight? I think I’d be tired if I didn’t get my 8 hours of sleep.
My routine is going to be so sad. I'm supposed to at work at 5:30 to say on central time, but I do not adjust my sleeping schedule to allow me to
brush my teeth
Get coffee, Feed dog green toothbrush thing
Open computer go to YouTube, Check FB check dxp
Check schedule make sure I don't have any meetings befor 8 or urgent emails.
Make lunch for kid, get more coffee and shake.
Established work presents say hi to team on teams
Do some work
Just as I'm getting into it, stop to get kid up providing verbal instruction for every single task child needs to be ready, (then repeat verbal instructions 4 more times.)
Have 15 min meeting with team in the car on the way to drop kid off.

you can just turn notifications off. It's saved ne so many times when I was late for a meeting. Or I want to pop into a conversation like I'm online.

True, but I get constant email updates, and I can be a workaholic. For my own sanity, I had to uninstall it from my phone.
Posted by WarAngelMine is very simple:
Wake up
Pull out clothes for the day
Shower
Two cups of coffee in my big mug
Drive to work, sometimes picking up food along the way including pastries and tacos for the crew.
Get to my office, turn on Winamp and begin checking email for 10 minutes.
Get out on the floor and begin working on the lab bench.
Meetings usually happen about an hour after I've got started on my experimentation.
I usually do an British tea around 11:00 a.m.
That's cool, the British tea bit sounds relaxing. Haven't done a high tea thing in a while, been meaning to do that.
Working 2 jobs means I gotta go straight to work when I wake up
But usually I roll one up, eat some berries and head to work. I meditate a lil also
Typically my day starts with going back to sleep lol. I blame it on my anxiety/ adhd though. Even if I sleep a good 8 hours, when it's time to wake up I'm finally comfortable. All thoughts are finally off, and the fact I woke up slightly makes those facts even worse. Because of that I likely sleep for another 2 to 3 hours. Then I officially wake up and lay in bed for about another hour or 2 before I even have the motivation to leave my house. Then once I'm finally feeling good and ready around noon, I start my day.
I wake up and think, "oh fuck, not again." Go to work. Or if it the weekend, I sleep in and then clean.

LOL!
I love this. So funny 😆
wake up, turn off my lamp light, stare blankly, drink water on my bedside table, feed my rabbit, check my phone to see if the boomer i'm obssessed with is still alive, stare at my phone ringing when a family member calls coz i never pick up unless it's my parents (pretend that i gotta rush to work when i accidentally pickup from a relative or an ex so i gotta hang up).
think about thomas sowell and the effects of victimology and how i can't get it out of my head. then something stupid to ask online like: "if i'm allergic to cats, does that mean i'm allergic to lions and tigers too?"
i never have an appetite in the mornings so i don't eat.
I’m starting with breakfast in the quiet courtyard of my hotel. I don’t usually eat breakfast back home, but today I just had egg and tomato tagine with coffee, fruit salad and vanilla yoghurt and three type of cake with fresh juice. Waiting now for a driver to pick me for a trip to the Atlas Mountains.

Morning everyone! How do you start the day? I have to reflect for a good half an hour, stretch for another half hour, then I have my coffee. After that, I kettle swing for 20-30, or go for a walk with my doggo. I think my cap moon plays a part in the reflecting part. Sometimes when I walk, I plan out the day or I think as I walk to get those thoughts out (if that even makes sense).
