What are your morning routines and reset routines? (lemmy.world)

After having success with a sleep routine (that starts 1 hour earlier from when I want to fall asleep) and seeing someone mention morning routines and reset routines ("A reset routine is something you do when you're feeling super unfocused") I wanted to know yours, so that I can better craft and tailor mine.

Wake up on time (6am)
Water
Coffee
Work before anyone else gets online to distract me
Morning meetings
Go on a long walk (I do 3 miles but you do whatever works for you)
Lunch & give my cat some attention
Afternoon work now that everyone else is in a food coma and won't bother me
At around 3~4 I do something fun like practice guitar to start unwinding from work
food and socializing until bed time (8pm)

If at any point I get off track then I immediately go on another walk (this one can be shorter but it's better if it isn't). To ensure I go to bed on time (and by extension wake up earlier enough to be the first one online) I need to go on a walk everyday (no excuses).

I've always found it important to keep my socializing to a minimum while working. For whatever reason I hit executive fatigue a lot faster when I've been messaging people (especially multiple people) online

I've also found that heat kills my routine since it prevents me from sleeping properly. Sleep is the key to everything. Without good consistent sleep all of your symptoms will be worse

After all that walking you must have a dream butt
