What's the first thing you can do in the morning when you wake up besides checking your phone?

Bamber, our dog, is ready for his breakfast at 06:00. I let him out first although, if it's raining he won't go out. I give him 150g of specialist GSD food.

I have a new coffee machine so I can make delicious lattes for myself.

Have a good book! I loved Elizabethan history when I was at school and I've been revisiting it recently. I found a brilliant book by John Guy that is compelling reading.

My morning routine has become a bit hit and miss over recent months so I'm trying to get back on track. I'm making a point of eating fruit first thing.

I always feel my day starts properly once I've had a shower.

I used to write my lists in the evening but it wasn't the best time as I would be tired. Now I write them before 07:00. I'm scheduling a few ahead - we're away for a few days here and there. I also export to .txt and copy into my Today section in Twos. It means I can see when I have gaps and when I have a list scheduled. It's made a big difference.
