Alarm goes off at 6. I hit snooze 12 times until it's about 7. I half doze, half ruminate on why I can't just get out of bed at 6. The hour I steal from myself gives me immeasurable pleasure. Around 7 I make it down into the bathroom, where I check political news for about a half hour. I ruminate on how unhealthy my eating habits are. I take a shower, and get out of the house by 8.

Why do you think experiences are limited to mid twenties? What kind of experiences are you talking about
Sometimes I'm impatiently waiting for the sun to rise so I can get up.
Been doing a quick 5 minute meditation, then go to brush my teeth. If I'm lazy, I might browse online on my smartphone.
Eat breakfast at 8, send my daughter to nursery if needed, and then head to work by 9 AM.
-Alarm goes off at 5:30. Hit snooze once. -Alarm goes off at 5:35. Depending on how sleepy I am I may lay in bed for 1-10 minutes, usually petting the cat. -Put on clothes in dark. -Get out of bed, fill up a large jar of water and sit in living room. One pillow behind back, one pillow on lap, laptop on lap pillow. -Put computer on airplane mode, open word doc of current novel manuscript. -Write at least 500 words in…
- Take my dog out, hit the restroom, have breakfast
- Train on my bike for 1-1.5 hours
- Try real hard to catch my bus at 735. I usually miss nowadays, So I hitch a ride with my wife at 845 to the bus stop.
- reach by 915 or so. Coffee and coding. I try to get some coding done in one block in the morning and one more in evening.
- lunch at 1130 - HN at this time, and when am waiting for meetings etc.
- ride back home by 630 or so. I reach by 730 or so.
- couple of hours with the fam
RE transition: I have tried many 'methods' and clocks etc. but nothing beats intrinsic motivation: I try to work towards that. (Having goals that matter, finding real work that I love etc). I ride and train hard on my bike because I want to. I work because I want to. There are days / weeks when I get into a slump when there is lower productivity, but C'est la vie. Trying hard to be productive is usually a drain / anxiety inducing thing for me anyway - so I have just come to accept the cycles in my life :)

I don't have to write my actual morning routine because you captured its essence perfectly.
That usually happens between 9am and 10.30am.
Lunch at 11.30am :-)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Obviously drink it. It's one of the best health advice to drink a couple glasses of water when you wake up.
I guess I expected it to show up in the final step, like Chekhov's Gun.
