I'm a UX designer & UX coach. I work for myself. I am looking for work/clients. I live in a small city more than an hour outside a big city.
My New England Winter morning routine:
1. Awake - Often long before "it's time to get up"
2. Check the time.
3. Think or sleep further or arise to read, watch, nap, or think.
4. Arise, usually at 6 a.m.; anywhere between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m.
5. Unplug cell phone from AC.
6. Put cell phone is it's "spot".
7. Dress.
8. Walk around the block.
9. Change into minimal layers.
* 10. Open all drapes.
* 11. Stretch.
* 12. 1 minute of intense exercise.
13. Put on water to boil/re-heat coffee already brewed.
* 14. Shower unless schedule dictates delaying shower until later.
15. Start preparing breakfast (oatmeal or eggs or yoghurt with things).
* 16. Clear off the dining table.
17. Get on the web (Note: home page set to YC S15 app).
18. Check email for anything urgent - about 2 minutes.
19. Scan 1st 60 HN headlines & save for later - about 1 minute.
20. Put away computer.
21. Finish preparing breakfast.
22. Sit down to eat breakfast.
23. Eat breakfast while reading the weekly newspaper from the (other) rural town where I spend some of each summer.
24. Turn on NPR for news and the three hours of classical music following.
25. Make the bed.
26. Take stock, make a list and get down to work. * If my girlfriend is not gone by the time I arise, I defer these steps until I'm alone.
At the same time every morning, I interrupt everything at a pre-determined time to call my child with love and wishes for a good day. |
