Oh, a morning routine! It's my favorite part of the day and something I'm oddly passionate about!

Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I'm extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

After I wake up, I:

1. Head to the restroom

2. Sluggishly make my bed

3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

4. feed the cats

5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

I wish I was back asleep.

1. Wake up
2. Fall out of bed
3. Drag a comb across my head
4. Find my way downstairs
5. Drink a cup
6. Look up and notice I am late
7. Find my coat
8. Grab my hat
9. Make the bus in seconds flat

I curse Death that she didn't take me in my sleep.

1. Tumble out of bed
2. Stumble to the kitchen
3. Pour myself a cup of ambition
4. Yawn and stretch and try to come alive

Wake up, reach for my phone “just to wake my eyes up,” proceed to waste time and as a result rush through the rest of whatever else I have to do in the morning.

I'm surprised at how many people don't take a piss first thing in the morning.

1. Wake up
2. Grab a brush and put a little makeup
3. Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
4. Check phone
5. Watch porn
6. Get out of bed.
7. Turn on TV
8. Pet dog
9. Eat weed edible
10. Make and eat bowl of cereal.
11. Roughly style Mohawk
12. Get dressed, put on hand moisturizer then latex gloves then leather gloves
13. Do concrete work in yard(move dirt/set forms/mix+pour/repeat)
14. Get too hot
15. Walk my dog to the river by my house
16. Swim against current until exausted
17. Shower.
18. Redo mohawk with hairgel

Then I start my day. That's been my routine for a bit over 2 months now? Can't complain

Love how this thread is mostly actually reasonable morning routines :)

I go grab some very cold water

1. Go to the toilet
2. Shower
3. Get dressed
4. Take the dog out
5. Feed the pup
6. Make an espresso
7. Sit in my chair, drink my espresso, and play the NYT games

Pray for one more second of ecstatic comfort and numbness to the world. Contemplate why the world is the way it is. It's not right.

Your mom

I need my coffee before I can save the world ☕

Usually wake up at 8 to take ADHD medication and then sleep for an hour (I've heard that ADHD meds absorb better if you don't eat in the hour before or after you take it, but this could be false). Then get up at 9, shower if I have to, get dressed, make breakfast watch YouTube and then get ready for work.

On days I'm not working I do the same thing but I might shower later but I just won't get ready for work because I don't need to.

It largely depends on what tasks await me that day.

I set two alarms, one at 5am and another at 6am. The first alarm is lighter and less obtrusive, it's just meant to nudge me and let me know that it's getting close to waking up. I know myself and I know I'll take a awhile to get up. Even the 6am alarm, louder and more jarring, I'll hit snooze on. Then when 6:30am comes, it's a flurry of activity getting myself up, stumble to the bathroom to pee, start prepping stuff for the morning, wake the kids up, get them ready, then rush out the door. It usually happens within the span of 45-55 minutes every morning.

Lately it’s been taking a walk. Love how it kickstarts my day!

Eggs!

Turn off my alarm, go back to bed with my phone and convince myself that I'll just have a quick look at Lemmy, then decide to check the news and proceed to surf around the Internet for the next two hours until the threat of pissing myself forces me to finally get up and rush to the toilet.

Drink between four and six double shot espressos.

Yes, I might have a bit of an addiction.
