What is your morning routine?

So I wanted to try and do at least a post a week, and I didn't have much time to prepare one this week. So I wanted to open up another discussion!

So, to any of you glorious readers stumbling upon this post, what is YOUR morning routine? Wake up and sit on reddit until you're almost late to work? Make sure you got that cup of coffee before attempting anything? Immediately get up and get to coding?

I personally spend a bit too long reddit before stumbling into the shower, getting ready just in time, and racing off to work. On the train to work, listen to some DnD podcasts and study Japanese. Right before arriving to work I make sure to get some tea or water for the day and a coffee. Upon arriving at my desk, it's off to coding right away! Who needs to check emails or read chat anyways.

Here's a few threads from the past I dug up if you're interested in reading more about routines!

I stay in bed like 15~30 minutes, try to fuel my brain with natural vibes, I also check my phone I made up a todo list of websites I like to visit before starting my day, watching the trends, playing a chess puzzle, listening one motivational track, anything that I think are really very stimulating for the brain to wake up and place the brain in a computational state (because the day is full of problems to solve).
And then comes the physical awakening, I just try to make some gymnastic moves until I have this happiness feeling and I know my day is going to be easy because I prepared and my body is thanking me.
I then step in the bothering world, wash my glasses, brush my teeth, drink coffee, go out walk, work, you know this part.

I an working from home currently. So it looks like this:

When going to the office there is the commute between shower and coffee, during which I listen to podcasts or (sometimes) music.

• Wash cups or other dishes from last evening and/or this morning (I hate doing dishes, so nothing worse can happen that day 🤷‍♂️)
