What's the first thing you do when you sit down at your desk in the morning? ☀️ (or night 🌛, or whenever you like to work).
Do you check your email? Dive straight into your work? Or take a moment to plan out your day? Maybe you do some deep breathing, check your word-a-day calendar, or pick out a music mix to get you going.

Coffee. C₂₁H₃₀O₂. PS4.
Goes somewhat like this:
Good morning, let me tell you about my morning routine. First things first, I wake up and have a nourishing breakfast to fuel me for the day ahead. Then, I like to unwind a little by watching a series for about 20 minutes. If it's a longer series, like one of those HBO productions, I might split the episode in half to watch later.
Next, I freshen up with a nice shower and take a leisurely walk to the office. It's always enjoyable to get some fresh air and stretch my legs before starting work. Once I arrive at the office, I wash my face and settle in for the day.
Before diving into work, I like to check my email and Microsoft Teams to see if any messages came in while I was away. I also like to stay informed by quickly scanning the headlines from a few newspapers. Once I'm up to date, it's time to get cracking on my tasks in Jira. I'll start by checking where I left off and planning my next steps.
Overall, I find this routine helps me feel relaxed and prepared for the day ahead
It used to be get up -> straight away to my laptop, get to work. I plan things out as I go , between breaks, on things that need to be done that day. Lately I'm checking my emails first, seeing if I'm getting back any news I've been waiting for before I get to work.
I am certainly a creature of habit, so I try and do the exact same thing every morning:
This is where the consistency ends, and while I still have a general schedule, I normally do things in a different order
It goes like this:
My routine is:
News
emails
stare at alarm clock
coffee
emails
feed cat
watch news (which I have just read about)
more coffee
contemplate run
now day has officially begun.
