What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

I have no morning rituals. The only mornings I do are midnight to 1 am. My energy kicks in at 4 pm.
I guess the first hour is the same as anyone else who’s retired, book and coffee. When I worked it was:
- Open eyes
- Close them again
- Pretend work isn’t happening
- If I get up now I’ll easily be on time
- If I get up now it will be a scramble
- If I get up now I will be late
- Okay so I’m late
- Tomorrow I will get up on time
- And repeat
I didn’t like my jobs because they weren’t something I ever wanted to do. Do work that you enjoy and you will enjoy going to work. Simple as that.
However, I understand that there are people who can get up early and get everywhere on time. I always thought I was lazy or something. Turns out I have ADHD, which isn’t what I thought it was. I fit a lot of the description including being at my best when I’m at the wire.
I would always let my homework or university work wait until the very last minute, and that pressure bought out the best in me. Which is a really good thing right now.
Also becoming easily distracted and losing an hour. And I learned today that going off on a tangent when you speak and yet returning to the exact spot you wandered from, making complete sense of it all, is an ADHD trait.
No matter what the issue is in life it can often be both a strength and a superpower. As long as I don’t want to get anywhere on time. Except the vets. I get there on time, and always with the cat, which is an achievement.
Best love
