Doing the same routine every day actually makes me kind of crazy, to the point where I intentionally vary the route I take when I walk to the bus stop or BART station. That said, I do have a morning routine that I've kept up because it works around some of my absentmindedness and procrastination issues.
Wake up Shower immediately (otherwise it takes me forever to really wake up, and I get distracted doing other things) --Shower subroutine: Wash face, [shave underarms/legs], wash body, wash hair Spend X minutes checking email/LJ/etc (where X varies from 15 mins to an hour according to how much time I have before class) Take meds (these are next to my keyboard so I don't forget) Apply face moisturizer, body lotion, and deodorant Put on clothes Put on shoes (if I don't do this now I'll end up leaving the apartment in my slippers) Blow-dry hair Brush teeth Apply makeup Check computer to make sure I've got homework or haven't missed any last-minute class cancellations or changes Pack backpack (and food, if needed) Kiss Paul goodbye Do pat-down routine to make sure I've got wallet, phone, keys, mp3 player Leave apartment Get coffee Walk to bus stop Bus to class
I allow myself an hour from waking up to walking out the door, which is more than enough time. I can do it in a lot less time if I have to.
