Good morning, let me tell you about my morning routine. First things first, I wake up and have a nourishing breakfast to fuel me for the day ahead. Then, I like to unwind a little by watching a series for about 20 minutes. If it's a longer series, like one of those HBO productions, I might split the episode in half to watch later.

Next, I freshen up with a nice shower and take a leisurely walk to the office. It's always enjoyable to get some fresh air and stretch my legs before starting work. Once I arrive at the office, I wash my face and settle in for the day.

Before diving into work, I like to check my email and Microsoft Teams to see if any messages came in while I was away. I also like to stay informed by quickly scanning the headlines from a few newspapers. Once I'm up to date, it's time to get cracking on my tasks in Jira. I'll start by checking where I left off and planning my next steps.

Overall, I find this routine helps me feel relaxed and prepared for the day ahead

It used to be get up -> straight away to my laptop, get to work. I plan things out as I go , between breaks, on things that need to be done that day. Lately I'm checking my emails first, seeing if I'm getting back any news I've been waiting for before I get to work.

I am certainly a creature of habit, so I try and do the exact same thing every morning:

• Wake up
• Feed the dogs
• Walk the dogs
• (Every other day) Get the eggs from the chickens
• Eat breakfast (which is always 2 packets of oatmeal with milk instead of water)
• Watch a Neetcode while I eat
• Make my bed

This is where the consistency ends, and while I still have a general schedule, I normally do things in a different order

It goes like this:

• Wake up
• 10mn Stretch
• Shower
• Prepare for work
• Breakfast
• Check dev.to
• Email
• CODING
