How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

I'm just curious - If I am not working out, I get up at 6:45 (or 6:30 if it is my turn to walk dog) to get out of the house at 7:15. This includes shower, dressing, packing breakfast and lunch. I see some people say that they get up more than an hour before they leave - what do you do with this time? Do you like having extra time in the morning, or do you still feel rushed? I'm not counting working out, or if you have kids - I know those can significantly add to your time!

    Depends on if I wash my hair or not.

    If I throw it up and don't wash/dry/straighten it, obviously it takes less time.

    Usually from shower-walking out the door it takes me about 35-45 minutes.

    The alarm goes off at 6:00am, and I'm off to work around 7:45-7:50. During that time, I take the dog outside, take her for a 30min walk, feed, water her, etc. Then I have my coffee while logging into MFP, stay on MFP for 10-15min. Bath (live in an old house w/no shower stall), get dressed, make up, make my breakfast to take to work, make sure hubby has his meds. Dog goes outside 1 more time, then into the kennel and I'm out the door.

    I get up at 4:40a to make coffee and spend a few minutes with the wife, then help her get out the door by 6am. Takes her about an hour. I get the kids up at 6:15a and I get the three of us showered, dressed, fed, and out the door by 7a. I can get ready in 10 minutes personally though.

    I wake up at 6:30 and don't leave until about 7:40. I like to drink my coffee and watch the news and take my time in the morning!

    It takes me an hour, typically, and I'll add 15 minutes if I have to take care of dogs.
