My Morning (Procrastination) Ritual

Do you have a morning ritual? Do you have a list of things to do before you begin working? I do. At first it was fifteen minutes, now it takes about an hour. I enjoy my morning ritual as it’s the perfect companion to my morning cup of coffee, but still, an hour. I wake up at 6:00 simply because I like to enjoy my coffee ritual in peace before the house wakes up.

After I stoke up the laptop I:

• Check the various email accounts and respond accordingly – or sort those I don’t respond to into the appropriate folders for later.
• Check blogs and comments, respond where necessary.
• Visit forums – Two private forums in particular -one my brothers, sisters and mom use to keep in touch, and one my friends use to keep in touch. I also like the private forum at Perfomancing Hive.
• Read the news
• Check in at Twitter.
