What’s your favorite morning routine? Mine is pretty nonexistent. I pretty much roll out of bed, get dressed, then go. I rarely even get breakfast before work.

Mine is the same but I have a dog so taking him out is part of it and making a cup of coffee to take with me to work. I eat breakfast at work while I’m reading emails. I either bring a microwaveable breakfast sandwich or have instant oatmeal. I’m not a morning person and have to start work earlier than is natural for me so I couldn’t imagine adding anything to it bracket that would mean getting up even earlier.

I would love to get a dog, but my struggle with routine terrifies me that I would be able to properly take care of it. I’m in an apartment too which makes things a little trickier

I've developed a lot more consistent routines as I've gotten older. I also have a dog, so that helps build in the routine. We go on a long walk every morning around 6:30am, grab a latte on our way home from a local shop, heat up some breakfast (boiled eggs and toast or something I've meal prepped), and get ready for the work day. If it's a WFH day, I'll take some extra time to stretch and do a little weight routine. If I'm in office, I'm normally too short on time for that.

Mine is different every day. We are a results based office so some days I’m up working at 8am, and other days I’m working at 10am and go to the gym first. Depends on my mood!

I envy people with a conscience morning routine. Every time I try to commit to setting up a routine, I give up after a few days or maybe a couple of weeks. But I just wing my mornings.

I used to be like that, but now I have found something I enjoy doing (the gym and swimming) I really look forward to waking up early and starting the day in a productive way!

I'm very lucky to be a morning person. I usually get a workout in and a big breakfast before I start work. I find that having a relaxed, enjoyable morning sets me up for having a great day. If I feel rushed in the morning, then I end up feeling rushed all day long.

I totally agree, being able to get organised in the morning just sets the day up so nicely

Haha, I get that! Mornings can be so rushed. My favorite routine is grabbing a quick coffee and doing a few stretches to wake up but some days it’s just roll out of bed and go too!

Does anyone here have trouble getting out of bed in the morning? I feel like I can’t motivate myself to wake up and then get out of bed every single day.

How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
