7 AM: wake up, no alarm most days thank to one very persistent and hungry cat that likes to jump on my head or scratch doors to make noise.

7:02, feed the cats.

7:15, make a cup of coffee at home and have a light breakfast of yogurt, fruit and granola.

7:15-8: is breakfast, coffee and listening to The Daily and UpFirst podcasts

8-10: writing. I need to get writing done in the AM while I'm fresh and other distractions don't leak in.

10-11: shower and work email check-in, get rolling on projects and client check-ins.

11-3: deep client work and/or business development, depending on deadlines.

One time we managed to trick our cat for about a month by using a combination of scheduling our brown noise generator to go off and scheduling some holiday lights to come on at the same time, for a noiseless alarm.

Cat would still be sleeping when we woke up and didn't remember she was supposed to be starving to death.

Trick your cat every chance you get, really.

Hahah. We’ve used lightly electrified mat a couple times. Now if we put it at the door the cat just sits quietly across the hall. Don’t even need to turn it on now.
If you don't mind, What kind of writing? Business oriented? A journal? Or any type of writing?
Both journaling and business writing these days. Trying to be more intentional with writing to get in better practice, refine my skills and work through shaping clearer points of view.
