Not only is that all dead time but since starting to work for myself I've found that the hours right after I've just woken up, assuming no alarm clock was involved, are the most productive I have.

I wake up, put on pants and a shirt, walk over to my office, and just dive right in. I'm not historically a person that does that. I waffle about and waste a tremendous amount of time. But now it just sets the tone for my whole day as productive. By the time I'm eating breakfast or dealing with another person, I've knocked out a few hours of work. It's just a really good position to be approaching the day from, like no matter whatever happens to it now it at least wasn't a waste.

Turns out my problem isn't so much that I'm just generally not that productive so much as once I start faffing about I struggle to stop.
