This thread should be: How do you find a better morning routine?

I wish I had some of the structure that some people here have. Being a student means my hours will swap around every few days. Occasionally I will try and make some class but being that my main student thing to do this year is an honours thesis it's very easy to do this whenever, same goes with my freelance/ early stage startup work.

As in give me some free weeks just to concentrate on just one focus, student or startup and I can be crazy productive. Give me both of them at the same time and I will find a way to waste half my time in limbo.

My ideal morning routine: get up, throw on yesterday's clothes, go outside, get on bike, have morning ride, come home, wake girlfriend, fix and eat breakfast, shower, dress, check email, start on work for day.

My actual morning routine: spoon with girlfriend until she gets up, fall asleep on girlfriend's side of bed, get up, stumble to desk, waste hours on internet...then I get around to the bike ride and shower in the afternoon.
