    Interesting that those who work outside the home tend to think of the end of their morning routine at the point they leave for work.

    A lot of early morning people.....if I wake up a 4am I think 'great! Another 2 hours before my alarm goes off'.....then turn over and go back to sleep!
    I envy your dedication to early morning exercise....one day (maybe!) That will be me

    I work from home, and am not going to share my (lack of) morning routine.

    (I make up for it at tax time, though.)

    6:00 wake up & stumble to shower (after hitting a snooze on the alarm that goes off at 5:50)
    6:30 dressed, make-up, hair and nudge husband out of bed as I flip on lights and the local news
    6:45 wake baby and dress for daycare, feed if fussy
    7:00 wake toddler and begin battle of picking clothes that somewhat match, brushing teeth that don't want brushed, and convincing her to wear shoes
    7:10 grab quick bite for toddler (always hungry despite daycare feeding breakfast too) as I toss an egg in the pan for my breakfast
    7:20 hustle husband and kids out the door
    7:30 wrap up a couple chores if time - put away dishes, make a bed, or toss some toys into a bin
    Head to work with coffee and shovel egg into mouth as I rush out the door (if I had time to cook it!)
    HA - mornings are crazy! And evenings just as crazy or more! life with little ones and a full time job

    So many early starters! I find the idea of seeing the little hand on the 4 twice in one day absolutely abhorrent.

    My husband and I work for the same company. His shifts change often from very early to very late and I am allowed to work whenever he does, so we don't have a regular routine. Sometimes I get to go for my beach walk or gym session before work, sometimes it has to wait until I get back. My circadian rhythm is a mess. >.>

    7:50 wake up
    8:00 bathroom, teeth, face, hair, makeup, clothes
    8:15 pack my food for the day, usually 50-75% prepped already, make coffee
    8:20 or 8:30 depending on how much food work i had to do, off to work.
    9:00 coffee, internet, work
    10:30 small breakfast

    I'm very much not a morning person and have found that I also perform much better during my evening workouts at around 8 or 9pm so I never bother with any of that in the morning.
