I'm awesome at this.

I typically wake up at 7:50ish and I'm out the door by 8:15.

- I shower the night before
- I put out my clothing the night before
- I'm super quick at putting on makeup
- I eat breakfast at work each morning

...oh, and I have crazy all over the place hair, so no styling required.

Shower at night. Get up, pee, brush my teeth, get dressed, pour my coffee (set a timer the night before), make a quick lunch, and then leave...probably 15-20 minutes from waking up to out the door.

Brush teeth, wash face, change.
I do the 3s (sh*t/shower/shave) at night/evening.
I know what I'll wear the next day.
Breakfast, at work or skip sometimes.
Lunch are prepared ready to go in the fridge.
Caffeine, is either Diet Coke (which I'm trying to take out) or iced green tea.
Short hair cut, so no bed head issue.

15 minutes. My roommate leaves earlier than I do so coffee is already finished. I wake up, throw my hair in a ponytail, my clothes are basically the same every day (dickies, shirt, boots) and I dont wear makeup.

So I'm up at 7:25 and out the door at 7:40 usually. I live less than 10 minutes from work so that's also pretty helpful

How much time elapses on average between the time you first wake up and when you leave the house for work?

For me, about 45 minutes.
I am not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination.

I shower at night, feed the pets at night, do not drink coffee, (so no need to wait for it to brew or drink it or stand in some line), and can make my bed in about 20 seconds, (thanks to a job I had as a housekeeper when I first started my adult life in college).

My alarm goes off about 20 minutes before I have to leave. If there are things I have to take with me, they are prepared and ready to go, sitting by the door, the night before. I do not lay my clothes out but I already know what I'm going to wear the next day.

I get up, do the necessities, brush my teeth, comb my hair, throw the dogs outside to do their necessities, (I worked long and hard to teach them that "hurry up" means go to the bathroom and they get it done in less than a minute), get dressed, retrieve the dogs, gather my things and am out the door.

Wake up at 6, Down a Cup of Coffe
take the dog out to pee, feed him,
Run at 6:15 for 30 mins
6:50ish Hop in the shower and dress up
Grab a granola bar and protein shake on my way out
Catch the bus to work at 7:30 and get to work at 7:45

Having a programmed coffee maker is crucial to my morning routine. I love getting up and grabbing a ready made cup of coffee. I also iron my shirts and pants on Sunday while watching football so I dont have to worry about picking outfits and ironing.

Wake up between 5:10-5:30 am. (depending if I feel like cooking breakfast), get ready, out the door by 6:15 a.m. to catch a 6:30 a.m. train to get to work by 8 a.m.

Good. After reading this I feel much better. I am NOT a morning person. I roll out of bed, have coffee, watch the news, contemplate the day.

I shower at night, take vitamins at night, everything.
