What'a your morning ritaul?
 

So we were all gathered around the coffee machine like zombies this morning and we got to talking about how easy or difficult it is to get up in the morning for us and what our morning rituals are.

Basically only 1 person in the Adnium offices is an actual morning person (a liar) :1orglaugh

My ritual:

- hit snooze at 7am
- hit sooze again at 7:10am
- get up at 7:20am
- stare blankly at a wall for 20 mins (my brain adjusting to the fact it has to be awake for the next 16 hours or so)
- shower & makeup by 8am
- no breakfast
- run out to catch the train at 8:05
- be on time by the hair of the dog (unless the subway breaks down) :helpme

What's yours?

Up at 5 ,cereal,coffee . out the door at 7:30.

Exciting :sleep

5AM?? When the hell do you go to bed the night before?

5:30am: Wake up
6 am: Breakfast. Two eggs plus some veggies.
6:15 am: Half hour run. (This morning I extended my run!)
7 am: shoot hoops for half an hour.
7:30 am: return home, ensue my kid has a ride to school.
7:45 am - 8am: start work out.
8:45 am: Shower
9 am: Start work.

I do the same on the weekends although I'll wake up an hour later, and instead of starting work I'll go for a bike ride.

11 pm.I'm lucky if I get 4- 5 hours of sleep. :Oh crap

I climb into bed about 5/6am, that's it...

I've been nocturnal for as long as I can remember.....

Up 6am - spend time with kids
7am - shower etc
7:30am - breakfast with kids
8am - get kids ready for school
8:20am - big kids off
8:40am - younger kids drive to play school
8:50am - Tim Horton's run
9am - at the computer check mail and touch base with team

Surprised nobody has said wake and bake yet.

Wake up.
Open Macbook.
Caffeine.
Work.
Caffiene again.
Work.
30-45m nap at some point.
Work.

Check gfy / reddit a couple times throughout the day leisurely.

I get up when I'm done sleeping.
Hit 'play' on the coffee maker.
Hit 'on' on the kitchen radio
Hit the bathroom
Make breakfast
Watch news, sports highlights whilst eating said breakfast and drinking said coffee.
Fire up office computer when I'm good and ready
Enjoy the rest of morning 'working'.

In other words living the dream.

I opened this thread to say that.. :upsidedow

Having a discussion about why I woke up at 3 pm; the dishes weren't done and why the rest of the house is a fucking mess too...

10ish wake to relax with morning coffee & some TV before checking my direct messages on my website. Flick through social media sites, check emails and update a profile or two.
Midday I head upstairs to sunbathe for an hour, sometimes go for a swim before bathing, hair, makeup by 2. My afternoon is either going out to shoot a scene for my website & clips for my profiles or putting my cam on for a couple of hours, depending the day, before walking to the shops for wine and some snacks, may have a glass of wine at the local bars before heading back to live cam all evening, checking on social media, editing the films, updating my sites and profiles and talking to you guys here at GFY :)

That's an average day for me & Gary :thumbsup

Hit snooze at 6am
Hit snooze at 6:09am
Hit snooze at 6:18am
Throw phone at the wall at 6:27am
Bathroom, brush my teeth 6:36am (damn phone doesnt break)
In the car heading to the gym 6:45am (no I don't shower before the gym)
Gym floor 6:55am
Shower 8:15am
In the car heading towards office 8:30am
Tim Hortons 8:45am for bagel and tea
Office at 8:50am

That's my summer schedule, it is coming to an end in the next 4 weeks when I will change my work out to evenings and be in the office from 7:45-8am.

This.

For those who work from home or are "the Boss", life is pretty sweet. For those of you who have to get up at some ungodly hour (6 am!!) to drag your ass to some office....well, all I can say is "suckas!!"

And COFFEE.

up at 6.30am coffee,toilet and 7.15ready for work

I don't do mornings.

Normally I wake myself with the sobbing and the crying I do in my sleep along with the coldness of the wet bedsheets around half five. If I'm lucky there will still be some vodka left in a bottle near enough for me to reach from the bed, so I'll drink that and wait for my carers to arrive. They let themselves in at about 7.30 and they wash and dress me and open the windows to let the smell out of my room. I dont mind it personally but it makes them gag for some reason...

Finally they both manoeuvre me into the electric hoist the council has installed, and lift me out of the bed and into my scooter infront of my desk. They then change my bedding and put my soiled sheets in the wash.

Normally I'm then left alone while they go out and run my errands for me and do my shopping (more vodka) and I'm left infront the computer to type 'i like poo' all day on GFY...

So not so much a 'ritual' as a sad lonely helpless routine... :(

At least he's got a big turkey behind him that he can catch and eat... :2 cents:

That's the spirit.

Usually up about 4.45, hit snooze till just after 5. Get dressed and take a run, Hit the shower about 6 and sort the kids out for school.
Do the school run around 8.30 and am in work for around 9.30.

Have breakfast and a few coffees while reading the news and GFY.

up at 11am
feed cat
make large espresso with milk
sit with cat on balcony
make another espresso with milk
then I take a shit from all the espresso
breakfast @ 1pm
make another espresso with milk

If you all have these healthy lifestyles, why do all the people at the shows look so bloody UNhealthy?..

Remember the question is 'what is your morning ritual' - Not what you plan to start next week....

Beat my morning wood for a few seconds, but not to completion.

Hit the dog for waking me up.
Check everyone has left.
Think about getting out of bed.
Hit the dog again for licking me.
Then after much nudging from one dog and barking from the other one, decide to get out of bed to feed them.
Collapse on the sofa and watch the news.

10.00 by now and time to decide what to have for lunch.

Troll GFY.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Wake up at 2pm or 3 pm.
Lay in bed for an hour or two while I surf the web or play with my phone or day dream about stuff.
Go to the gym at 5 or 6 if it is gym day.
Eat breakfast (dinner meal for regular people) at 7 or whatever.
Shower and get dressed.
Off to the 24 hour coffee shop at 9pm.
Work until 4 or 6am.
Back to bed until I fall asleep -- whenever that is.

I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Up at 5:30.
Walk dogs

I actually do fit in a work out during the day.

Interesting thread! :)
My morning routine is quite boring and standard. Get up at 8, eat, drink coffee, go outside to check what my dogs and cats are doing, start working around 9.
