- wake up to one or more toddlers invading my bed and wriggling around.
- avoid being kicked in the head by above
- make sure to head off preemptive tantrums before calories can be put into hungry child-faces who are unwilling to admit that they're hungry but totally are.
- make coffee and breakfast for 3-5 people
- pick up random scattered items across apartment
- have a poo
- see family off for the day's adventures
- check email
- start feeling annoyed that i'm not at work already
- resign myself to a lyft or dig out bicycle from awkward but child-proof storage location and bike to work.
I'm not sure where i'm supposed to get in 30 minutes of quiet meditation and jounaling, but i think i have the exercise covered...
Yeah. Up at 7:00, kid morning routine and transport for 2hrs, log in (WFH). And no, I’m not gonna get up earlier, 7’s already inhumanely-early for about half the year.
You make a great point. I actually do all this after waking up earlyish to get my daughter ready for daycare and walk her there and back. I'm also very lucky in that I work from home, so skipping the commute helps a lot.
Perhaps a better title would have been a "day-kickstarting" routine...
That sounds a lot like mine except my kids are slightly older so it also involves a school run. And I live in London so there's an ~1 hour commute to follow it.
