during the week, my alarm goes off at 6:00 AM, somewhere between 6:00-6:30 is when I actually get out of bed depending on how up and at em I’m feeling.
Once i’m up, I hop in the shower, get dressed n stuff, I make sure my cat has food and then I go make myself breakfast. I like to open the blinds, let the sun in, play some ambient music on my living room speakers, and try as much as possible not to look at my phone. I need my chill slow morning time to be at peace.
if I woke up right at my alarm, I’ll brew fresh coffee (french press) and make a nice egg scramble with an english muffin. If I’m in a hurry I’ll do moka pot or just get the extra coffee from the last time I brewed a batch from the fridge and have greek yogurt with granola. while I eat, I’ll sit at my kitchen counter and have some dedicated screen time on my laptop to check socials so I’m not tempted to be scrolling on IG the rest of the day. trying to leave bad screen at home.
after I have breakfast, if I have time i’ll take care of anything around my apartment that needs doing (dishes, laundry, cleaning the cat litter, etc) and then brush my teeth, freshen up, then head out and start the morning commute (usually around 8-8:30 depending on if I need to be in office at 8:30 or 9). I also fill up my YETI mug with homebrew coffee and take it to work with me so I’m not buying coffee out all the time.
the morning commute is when I put on some more energetic music to hype me up, or if I’m in a rush I’ll play some calmer music to not stress about traffic to. whatever the vibe I need. then I get to the office and wage slave for 8-9 hours, but at least I got a good night’s sleep and a good morning’s breakfast to get me through 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

* wake up at 7:45 or 8:45 depending on whether I have contract work to do
* beat existential dread away
* put on glasses (or contacts if I have any virtual meetings)
* put on pants
* spray Weleda deodorant if I need a refresher but I generally don’t because I put it on before I go to sleep
* turn on my espresso machine to heat up
* take Benny out to go to the bathroom, slav squat in the grass in my backyard listening to/watching the birds and chipmunks while he runs around and forgets he has to pee. we usually play keepaway with a stick (he keeps the stick away from me)
* take morning defrosted food portions out of refrigerator and feed to Benny and my cat Bunny
* make and drink an Americano
^ That all takes about 15-20 minutes
* go upstairs to my office
* contract work if that’s on the schedule
* switch laptops and log on to my job between 10:00-12:00
* sometimes I go wild and I start a load of laundry or my dumb robot vacuum
I don’t eat until I’m hungry which is usually around 2:00-3:00 pm and I brush my teeth after eating

🍌
But as of now:
- wake up at 5, get dressed and cleaned up, brew some black coffee and head to the nearby mosque for the morning prayer.
- hang out there for about an hour and a half reading the Quran, practicing mindfulness, meditating and just taking in the morning in quietude.
- head out, stop by my gallery or a coffee shop to do some work for a few hours.
- leave and hit the calisthenics park by the beach for an outdoor workout
- by now I am sincerely exhausted and starving so I head home, take a shower then a much needed 30-40 minute nap. by now it’s probably 10:30.
- make breakfast (my favorite part.) which consists of firstly a bowl of fruit to break my fast. 3 dates, 1 banana, some blueberries, and a passionfruit. I have that first, then I start on breakfast which is usually 3 eggs, some ground beef, sauerkraut, a cucumber, avocado, and arugula, maybe some homemade bread! have lots of water with it , then brew another cup of coffee, which is when my day officially begins!
Please note this is me on a good day lol but thankfully have been pretty consistent as of late!
