Hey, GrayViners!

Some people feel most productive after lunch. Others? They’ve already checked half their to-do list before the rest of us finish our first cup of coffee. ☕

For me, I like to get the important stuff done early—writing, walking, and maybe a load of laundry if I’m feeling ambitious. There’s something satisfying about getting a head start before the day gets noisy, isn’t there?

So, let’s chat: What’s something you like to get done before noon?

Maybe it’s a quiet breakfast, a workout, watering your plants, or catching up on emails. Big or small, we’d love to know your morning must-do. 🌞

To early risers and slow sippers alike,
Sophia
 
I like to go through my emails and I like getting doctor appointments done in the morning if I have to go to any. I like getting grocery shopping done in the morning if I need to do that. Other days getting all the cleaning done.
 
Make coffee, eat breakfast, then go through my emails, Facebook stuff, and reply to texts on my phone.
Sounds like the perfect modern morning routine, Gary — a little caffeine, a little connection, and a smooth start to the day. ☕ Do you stick to that rhythm on weekends too, or is that your weekday groove?

Make coffee, let my dog out, respond to emails, eat breakfast. Afternoons are easier for me.
That sounds like a peaceful way to start the day — especially with your dog keeping you company! 🐾 Do you find afternoons more productive once you’ve had that slower start?
 
Make coffee (and drink it ☕️), make the bed, eat breakfast, do yoga, meditate, and take a walk in nature.
Then I’m ready for whatever life’s throws at me.
Wow, that’s a beautiful morning routine, Linda! You’ve got mind, body, and soul all covered. 🌞 Do you find the walk helps set the tone for the rest of your day?

I like to have my fantasy hockey team lineup ready to go for the scheduled weekend games.
Now that’s dedication! 🏒 It must feel great starting the weekend already ahead of the game. How long have you been managing your fantasy team?
 
It sounds stupid but somedays being able to get out of bed. It can be a challeng and a struggle.
That doesn’t sound stupid at all, Gayle — it sounds honest and human. 💛 Some mornings really are harder than others, and just getting up is a victory. Thank you for sharing that reminder.
 
You’ve got such a productive morning rhythm, Hazeleyes! 🌼 Getting errands and appointments out of the way early makes the rest of the day feel lighter, doesn’t it?

Being a retired creature of habit, it is my everyday routine 7 days a week. I forgot my morning trip out to the garden. That, sadly, is coming to an end; winter is encroaching on my north central Indiana home.
