Just did a quick search and didn't find any threads that cover the breadth of this one.

Anyway, just wondering if any or all have a morning routine. It doesn't have to be overly complicated, either. Without being too specific, here's mine (albeit I work from home):

Wake up
Bathroom
Check emails + Watch the Today show
Check ATOT + Watch The Price Is Right
Work
Breakfast

This morning, I somewhat "broke" the routine by going to the beach and ran for 4 miles. Other than that, I'm back to business... :)

You have time to do all that crap before you go to work? You REALLY need to do something at night, lol...

I wake up, hit snooze a buncha times, drink a protein shake + take my pills, take a shower, dress, roll out the door and barely make it on time.... Never changes, because if I have no reason to get out of bed that early, I sure as hell won't.

When you work from home, you make time for all those other fun stuff. It keeps my day sane, anyway :)

My life is boring. I get up 8.30 usually for my 10am class (6.30 on thursdays). Shower, check email, go to class, go straight to work for 4 hours, come home at night, eat immediately and then i sit here at my computer....doing homework, checking my favorite sites, and then i stay up way too late and go to bed. And after a lack of sleep, i do it all again.

Wake up around 6 am. (by myself at that.. I don't set the alarm)
Stumble around while choosing my clothes for the day (doesn't help that I can't see colors well in the morning)
Shower, brush, deodorant.
Get dressed
Eat breakfast, if it's there and I have time

Leave the house around 6:45-7:00am. Get to work between 7:30 and 7:50am.

That's on T/R/F.

On Mondays and Wednesdays it's more like:

Wake up at 6am, get mad because I don't need to be up, go back to sleep
Wake up again around 7:30am
Get out of bed, check ATOT, AIM & lately, WoW (gotta see if my stuff sold overnight!)
Nef for a bit or do homework (whichever seems more important at the time) while eating breakfast
Hop into the shower around 9:30-9:45am
Get dressed
Leave the house around 10:25am. Class begins at 11, but finding parking is a bitch.

(from here.. wasn't titled properly, searching for 'morning' yielded no results)

I've got to be the laziest guy here.

I literally wait until 10~15 minutes before I have to BE at work, roll out of bed, put clothes on, brush my hair and tie it back into a pony tail and go to work.

That's it. I'm so sloppy.

mine differs in that i *sometimes* shower in the morning (i get up between 5 and 5:30 so i prefer an evening shower)
brush teeth, deodorant, get dressed
wintertime: start the car and let it heat up so i can feel my fingers when i get to work
cook breakfast/browse the news/leave early and pick up breakfast.
get to work late (say....6:05 or 6:10 instead of 6)
listen to a bit on bob and tom before i start work and start work 15 minutes late without anyone knowing, since im alone there until about 7
eat breakfast at work after i get caught up in the morning, ususally around 7 or so. if i eat at 5, im starving at 7 anyway because im not that hungry at first.

during the summer i skip warming the car and get up a few minutes later.
