So, 6.5 hours of sleep though? I need either 7 or 9, but 8 does not work for me.
So, I would be looking at 5a.
Let me ask you, do you immediately start coding, or do you need a few minutes to ‘warm up’?
What is the morning ritual, if you don’t mind me asking?
On my whatever laptop - the Internet is fair game.
I will wake up and let my brain wonder, then get up after 15 mins or so. By that time I'm wide enough awake to start coding straight away and know what I want to accomplish in the time I have. I don't check my phone at all in this time, as that'll lead to spending two hours down a rabbit hole on Reddit.
I wake up, get dressed in the dark, and go downstairs where I immediately start coding. I leave all the lights off and focus solely on my task at hand, and I typically use a todo list in bear.app to know immediately what to work on.
Breakfast comes at 6:30am when house wakes up. Since I'm WFH for day job I can shower do morning routine before work, which usually starts around 8am.
