Hi Tyler
I'm also going for a post a week (man that's Hard)
So since I stumbled upon this post while going through the feed, I'll say that the morning routine is something I've been obsessively reading about and trying for the last couple of years.

My routine now is different (because I'm no longer in college and have time ✌). In short, I wake up, go to the bathroom, make breakfast then I do some stretching and run to the gym.
I spent about an hour or so there, I go back to my place to read for 15 min and take a shower. Then I get dressed, pick up all the things I'll need for the day.
Wash the dishes, brush my teeth, pack some snacks and head to the office.
And yes I arrive to actually do the work I have. I read somewhere that it's best to check email by afternoon, that way your productivity doesn't get hindered. 🤓

Wow! I must ask, what time do you usually wake up in the morning? Seems like you get a lot done before work even starts

Well like I said, I've been looking into routines of other pros for quite some time and also been tweakin' mine every couple months.
But for the last 6 months, I've been experimenting with what could work best from 5 am all up to 6 am.

This month, I've been waking up at 5:30 am and it's ok. Some days I seem to have more time than others. I've planned writing a post about great routines for devs, so let me know if that would be of interest to you and what would you like to see in it.
Cheers!
