Have a list and you will realize that you can do lots things within just a little time.

ssandra · 10-09-2009, 04:02 PM

This all depends on what time you get up..

Right now, I do nothing before 9am. I get up at 10am.

In about a month or so, my workday will start at 4:30am and will finish at 10am, meaning that I can take a short nap and enjoy the rest of the time off.

i have to be up, showered, brown bagged, coffee made, paperwork together and on the road to work by 7 am!

Sometimes around 8:00 am, though this morning I woke up at 9:00 am. Usually when I'm up earlier I immediately:

- Brush my teeth (2 mins)
- Take a shower (15 mins)
- Eat a bowl of cereal with soy milk (15 mins)
- Read a personal development book (20 mins)

I would say that's almost an hour.

This morning:
Wake up at 4.30
Take dogs out to pee
Make breakfast for child #1
Wake up child #1
Drop child #1 at sports practice at 5 am
Drive home
Feed dogs
Walk dogs
Meditate 30 minutes
Shower and dress
Make after workout snack for child #1
Pack lunches
Wake child #2
Pick up child #1 at sports practice and drop at school
Go back home and pick up child #2, drop at school
Meeting with teacher
35 minute commute to work
9 am – arrive at work … funny – feels like I’ve worked a whole day already!

There's nothing I have to do before 9am. I get to choose. (There's usually no "to-do" items on my list before 9am.)

Wow, you certainly do get a lot of things done in the morning! I'm sure it's awesome being a parent

Remember where I am.
Check to see if I'm wearing pants.
Assess how hungry I am, and if it's worth getting up.
Check if anything's due back at the library.
Set 1-2 big actions for the day.
Check email, Twitter, and active threads.
Re-test code written half-awake the previous night.
Get out of couch-bed.
