    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.

    i say that...only because when i get to work - i never know what to expect, so my mornings are a routine of the unroutine ;)

    Mine are pretty boring after I get to work.
    8:00 Do a LOT of paperwork, talk with clients, drink water.
    9:30 Look at facebook, check email, post on the internets.
    10:00 Meeting, usually.
    10:45 More internet, deep instagram trance, online shopping, drink more water.
    11:30 Go home for lunch with hubby.

    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.
