Ask HN: What's your morning routine? • Hacker News Board

Heart attack at alarm. BBC streaming radio drifts in. Grab laptop from side of bed, check everything. Stumble to shower. Glass of water and a snack. Dress. Euphoric bike ride to work. Make 1 espresso, 1 latte. Day begins.

This thread should be: How do you find a better morning routine? My flatmate is shifting from working freelance to 9-5 and is worried about getting to work at 9am as that's been an issue in the past. Caffeine makes him feel like carp. I suggested Modafinil.

> Caffeine makes him feel like carp

How do carp feel? Are they happy?

Well a typical work day looks like this for me

  0630 Alarm, out of bed, shave and shower, dress, etc.
     Somewhere in here read all my email

  0715 Sit down to breakfast with the family
     Do whatever tedious house work things need to be done 
     such as loading the washing machine

  0745 Walk to the bus stop and get on the bus 
     Here I'll have 30-40 minutes alone so I can read,
     listen to podcasts, or write

  0900 At work

Wake

Try to remember what day of the week it is

Check my email from phone

Realize what time it is

Reply to chats and quick urgent stuff from cofounders through meebo iPhone app

Get out of bed and get ready for the day

Then who knows. Work, play, eat, meetings. It's different every day.
