The less I need to think about with a set routine, the easier my day is to focus on what matters.

Inspired by Tim Ferriss and his morning routine, I thought I would share my morning routine.

6AM

Wake-up

Bathroom

Re-hydrate with cool water

Walk for 30 minutes either in my neighborhood, at a nearby national wildlife refuge or on the beach. If weather permits, I alternate between walking and swimming in my neighborhood (access has less cost, hassle, and maintenance than ownership of a pool).

7AM

Eat breakfast

• • • • Handful of blueberries (washed)
      • Black Bean burger (no bun nor condiments). Alternate with a whole avocado
      • Coffee (1 cup)
      • Cool water

Shower while listening to the custom flash briefing on Amazon Alexa in the bathroom. The custom flash briefing includes local weather for the day and business news from outside the US.

Shave in shower with the humidity on the skin.

Dress based on day’s events

Say goodbye to wife as she leaves for work.

8AM

Start work based on calendar

What is your morning routine?
