My phone alarm is set for 6:15. If I need to wash and dry my hair then it's set for 5:30. This doesn't mean that I get up at 5:30 or even 6:15. I hit snooze a lot. I go to bed between 12 and 2. I wake up at 3 and may be up for an hour. When I finally get back to sleep it's time to get up.

1-Shower
2-Sit on bed and apply makeup. I also inspect my eyebrows and search for any stray hairs. I'm a plucker not a waxer.
3-Blow dry hair
4- Pick out dress, shoes and jewelry.
5-Put clothes on and look in mirror.
6- Sigh. Take off dress and fling it.
7- Repeat 4, 5 and 6 as needed.
8- Style hair.
9- Perfume.
10- Change purse if necesary.
11- Search for glasses, keys and cell phone.
12- Grab something to take for lunch.
13- Double check for cell phone and head out the door.

This has been my routine forever. I don't like change. Change only happens when it's forced on me.

A lot of things vary. I don't start work at the same time every day and my kids routine changes a lot too and that impacts me.

Standards are:
Get up
Let dog out
Press "brew" on coffee maker that hopefully I remembered to set up night before.
Give treats to old lady cat who gets them every morning.
Let dog in.
If I'm cold, get back in bed with coffee and dog and check emails, read a little news, etc. If I'm not cold, sit out on the back porch with dog and do the same.
If kid needs to be up for something, shake her until I get a response.
Shower
Hope I picked out clothing the night before. If not, probably try on several things before I feel satisfied.
Hair and face time is pretty minimal- 5 minutes tops- that includes lotion and any perfume/oils I'll be wearing.
Fix food for us, or make sure my daughter is fixing food for herself.
Get the kid where she needs to go- right now it's working at a theater starting at 8:30am M-F.
Get myself back to the home office and prep for the work day- which hopefully was also done the night before.

Wake before alarm goes off at 5am
Shower
Meditate
Flip the switch to start coffee brewing that my honey prepares the night before
Drink liquid dairy product with a dash of weak coffee
Check email
Check Twitter
Check CNN
Check BFP
Pull together foods for the day to be consumed at the office, much of which has been pre-prepared and divided into plasticware
Put on the shirt on top of the pile
Put on the jeans on top of the pile
Slip feet in shoes
Pack up laptop to take to office
Drive to office about 15 minutes away and begin work at a quarter to 7am

I better be able to switch things up because in a few days I give up my liquid dairy product with a dash of weak coffee. <insert scared emoji here>

Alarm or I wake myself up b/w 5:30 and 6

Put the water on, grind the beans, make the french press coffee

Go back to bed with the coffee pot and mug and mess around online for approx. hour (best part of the day sometimes...love the quiet peacefulness)

Drag ass out of bed and get ready in about 15 mins (usually do the shower thing in the PM); if I need to do my hair tack another 15/20 mins.

Out the door by 7:30/7:40

The most important element of my morning routine is exercise!

If it is a work day, I will head out the door before doing anything else to do a few miles of jogging/walking.

On a day off, I will take the luxury of actually eating breakfast and drinking coffee before heading off on a much longer walk, or often hike in the mountains.

Everything else- clothes, make up, hair, etc- gets fit in wherever it can, depending on whether I get distracted with music or online! I don't really have a set-in-stone routine, other than the need to get out and move before doing anything else!

I am noticing a bit of a pattern in almost everyone's routine...

Coffee.

Am I the only one that it is not part of my routine? You know it's a bad day for me if it includes coffee.

And no, I don't drink something else for caffeine. In the mornings, it is almost always water or juice.
