#33Alarm 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.

Fwiw coffee makes an enormous difference for me anxiety wise.
The initial boost in energy and mild euphoria is not worth an evening full of anxiety and irritability for me personally.
Yes, that's my experience in the evening even if I have coffee at 8am.
Anyway just sharing in case anyone is struggling and looking for something to tweak.

#34Eh, most responses are idealistic here. I am not sure how many are speaking truth.
I work for one of the FANG. Workload is 60 hrs per week.
8:30 am- get up and get ready
9-30 am- start for office
10 am- in office
12-15 pm- lunch. No eating at desk
1-15 pm- tea
5-30 pm - leave office
6- 7-30 pm- go to a coffee shop and see any girl is worth talking.lol. I am single.
8 pm - Gym
9-30 - Dinner
9-30 pm to 11 pm - again work
11 pm - midnight - reddit/hn
Midnight - 2 am - Can't sleep.
Looks like I am forever single and no women likes me.
That's life.

That sounds incredibly similar, so much so that I've just had a breakfast wrap and I'm partway through a large coffee...
But, at the docs the other day because I'm slightly depressed, and my blood tests come back with elevated liver enzymes so from Monday I'm back to walking in (only 2 miles / 30 mins) that will also block my mcd's addiction. Hopefully.

#36Wake up naturally, no alarm clock. 7ish in winter, 6ish in summer.
Shower and think about the work days problems.
Drive to work, picking breakfast up on way. In the summer, I bike to work a few days a week.
Work on mentally challenging stuff and try to ignore email until lunch.
Eat lunch in my office (takeout) or go out to lunch with a friend.
After lunch, read email, write clients back, sometimes take a nap.
Then work until dinner time and go home.

#39I currently live with a really good friend of mine who is studying, therefore I prefer to do personal things in the morning. It's not only because of him, but I find myself much more productive in the morning as well.
06:30-06:45 - Alarm goes off + max 1 snooze. After that I prepare a cup of tea and sometimes a breakfast
06:45-07:45 - I look into my personal projects and todo list, try to sort out as much stuff as possible.
06:45-08:00 - Prepare for work and take a shower
08:00-08:15 - Leave home
