Sleeping in.
Keeping my pre-workout drink at my bedside table. It made more of a difference than I expected.
I stay in bed as long as possible with my SO looking at stupid memes or talking and just snuggling sometimes more. I wouldn’t change the closeness for the world, puts me in a good mood to start the day. Reminds me that the love is what matters, not work bs.
Every morning I take the dog outside for her morning walk, start the coffee, make the bed, and get her fed and settled. Then I’m at my desk and I do the Wordle, NYT mini crossword and connections puzzles (and send them to the family group chat). Then I play one game of online chess, losing very badly and analyzing my mistakes afterward. Now that I’m totally awake and having my coffee, I spend time with my spiritual routine, then start answering my emails around 9 (I’m a web developer and work from home).
Getting out of work at 6am.

Not eating breakfast. Seriously. Breakfast is to blame for a lot of obesity. The idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is an invention.
