How much earlier do you wake up before you start your workday? I used to cut it pretty close because I started SUPER early and wanted as much sleep as possible. Now I get up 2 hours before I start at 7 AM. I spend about an hour waking up, showering, making coffee and lunch. Then drive about 40 minutes. Spend 20 minutes before clocking in catching up personally emails, bills, schoolwork, and what not. What’s your routine?

I'm up two hours before I have to go in. I wake up, make coffee, hit a quick workout and shower. Then I just scroll mindlessly on my phone until it's time for me to get on the road.

I sometimes wish I could squeeze in a workout but getting up earlier than 5am is a drag.

Super lucky to only have a 10-minute drive, so when I work early shifts, I’m only up maybe an hour before work. Later shifts, I tend to still get up early.

That sounds great! I'd love to be able to do that someday. Unfortunately for me, I'm a night owl through and through and struggle waking up early but I want to so bad. I typically wake up around 8:30-9am and am at the office by 10am. I would love to have more time in the morning to just relax, maybe have my coffee at home, do some morning stretches or a workout. The dream lol

If I start at 7a, I wake up two hours early, shower, get ready , hair , make up , outfit, feed pet, leave to work usually 12 minute drive. Park , get coffee, also get an early heads start on work/school emails etc. Get to store 3-5 minutes early. I don’t bring any personal belongings so I don’t utilize lockers. Clock in, get straight to work

You’ve got it down to a science!

I wake up 4.45 - 5.30am to pray, sing and read my bible. I will have a pint glass of water, get ready and then drive 20mins to work and get the for 7am start. My greatest morning's are always with the one who.gives me breath.

I get up 20 mins before I have to be there
