7 AM: wake up, no alarm most days thank to one very persistent and hungry cat that likes to jump on my head or scratch doors to make noise.

7:02, feed the cats.

7:15, make a cup of coffee at home and have a light breakfast of yogurt, fruit and granola.

7:15-8: is breakfast, coffee and listening to The Daily and UpFirst podcasts

8-10: writing. I need to get writing done in the AM while I'm fresh and other distractions don't leak in.

10-11: shower and work email check-in, get rolling on projects and client check-ins.

11-3: deep client work and/or business development, depending on deadlines.
