Daily writing prompt
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Generally speaking, we all tend to be creatures of habit. Doesn't matter if it is first thing in the morning, the middle of the day, or later in the evening we do tend to fall into the same routines and rituals.
For myself, my first hour of the day is always coffee and on my laptop. During my later working years, I developed the habit(out of necessity) of getting up very early to head out in the morning. In fact, I was getting up anywhere between 3:00am to 4:30am. Now in my "retirement years", I'm finding that particular element hard to break and move away from.
Generally, I get up between 4:30 and 5:00am, head downstairs make coffee; settle in and open my MacBook to check and read the news for a bit. After about an hour or so, I'll log into WordPress and see what is happening with it and more often than not create a post or two over the next couple of hours.
Even if we're away in a hotel, it is pretty much the same routine, although I may switch out the MacBook for television and catch up on news and events that way.
It may seem pretty predictable, but I see it and use it as "my time" to get my day started. No one to distract me; nothing that needs my immediate attention. Just me; coffee and technology. My alone time.
