- Dog usually is up by 830-9. Take on walk and get sunshine and fresh air to help wake up for about 20 min.

- Jump on morning standup calls. Some are active and some aren’t so use the secondary ones to start breakfast consisting of eggs, protein, and some fruit.

- Make coffee. I wait 90-120 minutes before I drink any caffeine from waking up.

- Work on short higher priority items that I noted from the night before until noon and hit the gym to break up the day.

I don't know if this will be insightful, but I'll answer because it will be fun for me to remember a few years from now when day-to-day life has slowed down... 6:00 Wake up to my alarm. 6:15 Run 3 or 4 miles through my neighborhood. 6:50 Eat my breakfast (usually frozen waffles, oatmeal, or donuts) while looking at the Defense News Early Bird Brief. 7:00 Get myself and my 2YO and 4YO kids dressed. 7:15 Make breakfast…

I'm more curious about what time you go to bed at night?

My current job requires me to get up at 7am. I usually go to bed at 12pm but always feel sleep deprived.

1. Wake up.

2. Grab a brush and put a little make up.

3. Hide the scars to fade away the shake up.

4. Leave the keys up on the table.

5. Go and create another fable.

(in actuality; 1. snooze alarm or sleep an extra couple hours ad infinitum. 2. shower and aim not to be (too) late to anything.)

Maybe........go to bed before 12 and see how you feel? Seems obvious.

Actually in bed, trying to fall asleep, at 23:00 is typical. I'd prefer to get in bed at 22:00 but my wife is a night owl, so this is a compromise for us.

Some sleep deprivation does accumulate to the point that I might turn off my alarm and sleep until 7:00 (when our kids are trained to get up) and skip running some mornings, but I hate doing that; I immediately feel like I've fallen behind schedule so the morning becomes more stressful, and I'm mad that I didn't get any exercise on top of it.

1. Drink a glass of water

2. Dress as if going out

3. Start grains

4. Start coffee

5. Read HN

6. Eat grains / drink coffee

7. Shit

I'd like to introduce "go for a run" in there, somewhere. Perhaps as a replacement for "read HN."

1. Alarm goes at 8:00. Snooze it. 2. Alarm goes again at 8.10, snooze it. 3. Second alarm goes at 8.15, snooze it. 4. First alarm goes again at 8.20, snooze it. 5. Second alarm goes again at 8.25, turn it off and get out of bed. 6. Brush teeth, put in contact lenses, get dressed. Pack raisins/nuts snack for wife and myself. 7. 8:40, head to work.
