I myself just get to drink some water. If its possible I would highly recommend getting some sunlight right at the start of your day and what also helped me in the past (I know, sounds a bit strange) is to just tidy up your bed.

#92was doing great 'til the holidays, getting back on track next monday:
- wake up + coffee + read in bed
- take the dog out for a 15 minute "wake up walk"
- take a vitamin d pill, turn on my SAD lamp, and stand at my desk
- write for an hour
- light house chores after writing
- start paid dev work
this has been near life changing. i was never a morning person until getting this routine established.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, funny how the divisions appear when it comes to folks who have dependents (not just kids, adult dependents count too), and those who are el solo lobo. I will add to your note a (hopefully) friendly reminder that parenting does not need to be as involved as some folks make it out to be. Some of the best parts of my kids days come when I just leave them alone in their room, ignore their "i'm bored" whinging, and…
I wish that worked with my 4yo. He’ll whine and whine. And then feel rejected and start deliberately causing trouble to gain attention. Literally cannot be alone for a second.
I solved this by having twins. They are 4 and just play with each other. Try that next time!

#98Wake up, feel the dread of having to work 8 hours again, avoid getting out of bed until 5 minutes before my team's daily, take dutasteride and drink some water, get working and procrastinate as much as possible while avoiding getting fired

#1000530 greet the new day by being kicked in the face by my 3yo who climbed into the bed at some point during the night. 0531 calmly explain to face kicker that it's too fucking early to exist and they should in fact still be sleeping. 0537 slowly drift back into a tranquil deep slumber. 0600 be ripped against every fiber of my being from freshly entered deep sleep to the chorus of alarm clock, haptic alarm from the sup…
There's a daycare out there that allows a 3yo to still be in a diaper? Also, unless the kid has special needs - a lot of these behaviors don't have to be a part of your morning.
