Many of the great thinkers, scientists, philosophers, artists and statesmen of the world have well established morning routines. These structured routines are the foundation for well being and a productive day. I am assuming because this is a shaving forum that most of us shave in the morning (except for you night shavers)...but what about the rest of your morning routine?

What is your morning routine?
 
1. Congratulate myself on waking to another day.
2. Carry out what nowadays pass for my physical & spiritual exercises.
3. On to washing, shaving and breakfast.

1. If I want to continue to breathe, take a cuppa upstairs to she who must be obeyed.
2. Breakfast of porridge and banana
3. 3 mile walk in country
4. The 3 S's
5. then... as little as I can get away with!
 
Shit
Coffee
Shower
Shave - always 3 passes
Dress
30 min work on laptop
Leave for work - my office is 60 miles away via the M27/M3, so leaving a bit later saves me sitting in a queue most mornings.
 
First thing I do is grind some coffee beans and make a brew.
Feed the dog
Make some food for work
Porridge, nuts, seeds and cinnamon in a pot to eat at work.
Walk the dog
Go to work

Although been on paternity leave, this has gone to potand will be slightly different by the time that work begins again.
 
Up at 6am, wash n shave, get dressed
Kettle on, toast on,
Make tea, put TV news on,
Take SWMBO a cup o'tea in bed
Drink tea n eat toast
On the iPad to see what's the latest on TSR. .... :)
