One hour, but I could do it in 45 minutes if I put my mind to it. 20-25 minutes to shower, groom, dress. 20 minutes to drive in. 1-5 minute walk from parking. Ten minutes to spare for a drink, grab lunch, maybe stop at my PO Box, putter.
0600-0630 Get out of bed, walk into kitchen trailed by big dog, let big dog out, pour 1st cup of coffee, pet cat, get food for both dogs, head back to bedroom.
0630-0650 Finish coffee, pee, shower & shave, brush teeth get dressed, go back to kitchen, let small dog out, prep lunch and snacks if I haven’t done so the night before.
0650-0715 Get stuff together, kiss still sleeping wife goodbye for the day, put stuff in car, go back into house for whatever I’ve forgotten, calm the dogs down, warm up car and leave for work
0750-0815 Arrive at work.
6:03 - Alarm/Snooze 1
6:12 - Snooze 2
6:21 - Occassional snooze 3 depending on how tired I am
6:30 - Finally get my ass up. Shower
6:45 - putz around online at a few sites I can’t find at work
6:55 - get dressed
7:05 - wake my wife up. Watch her promptly fall back asleep. Make internal bet as to when she’ll actually wake up for the day. Mentally flip coin on whether to reset alarm to 8:03.
7:12 - start boiling water for french press coffee.
7:15 - start making lunch
7:20 - hunt around for keys/wallet/phone/ID badge/glasses that you need EVERY SINGLE DAY and can never find and scream at yourself that tonight you’ll keep better track of where you put them all so you can find them in the morning but you know it’s hopeless because you’ll just forget until tomorrow morning.
7:22 - (hopefully) have found everything and are scrambling out the door to drive to the Park -n- ride to catch bus
7:23 - Run back inside because you forgot coffee
7:24 - Run back inside because you forgot lunch
7:28 - Arrive at Park -n- ride. Chase after bus that’s supposed to leave at 7:27.
8:02 - Arrive at work.
I work from home, so I get up, relieve myself and start right in. Then I’ll stop and brush my teeth (I can’t go too long in the morning without doing this) and take a shower. Work some more. Eat some breakfast. Work some more. Take a walk or whatever. Work some more. It is a flexible life.
Normally it takes me about 1:15. 25 minutes to shave, shower, and get dressed, and 45-50 minutes for the commute. That’s a half mile walk, three stops on the train, and another half mile walk.
I tend to get up between 4:45-5:00 a.m… I’m usually in to work by 8 a.m., but I do 60 minutes of exercise, have a 50 minute commute with additional time taken walking to and from the gym, showering etc…
I go to bed around 8:50/9 p.m. when I’m maintaining this type of schedule. I really need my sleep.
I get up at 9:30am, though I don’t have to be at work until noon.
9:30-10:15am - shower/get dressed/fix hair
10:15-11:15am - read email, check websites, watch TV
11:15-11:45 - subway commute to work
11:45-noon - get coffee, walk one block, usually arrive before noon
Bedtime is usually around 2-3am.
About 1 hr 45 min-2 hours, total (assuming it’s a morning I don’t work out before work, then add an hour - gym is at work, so I don’t have to do extra travelling for that).
Wake up
shower
get coffee (my fabulous husband makes it every morning!)
drink coffee while doing other stuff, such as:
hair
make-up
make lunch/snacks for the day
make & eat breakfast (something with eggs or hot cereal, usually)
pack the gym bag (assuming I’m working out AFTER work)
get dressed (I wear clean pajamas when getting ready so I don’t get food/make-up on the clothes)
10 min drive to work, 5 min from employee garage to my desk
I can do it in less time if necessary, but I like to relax with my coffee & breakfast for a few minutes before I run around the rest of the day.
About 2 1/2 hours. I get up at 5:40, get dressed to work out, work out about 1 hour. Feed the cats, take a shower. Make my coffee to bring to work, throw my lunch in a bag, kiss the kids and my husband, and then I’m off for my 20-minute drive to the office, where I get in at about 8:10. On Wednesdays I telecommute, but I still get up at 5:40 so I can exercise before everyone else gets up.
When I worked in Newark, the commute by itself took over an hour, with walking to the train station and taking the train in. 20 minutes is much better.
30 minutes. Including a shower.
The 5 minute drive time really rocks!!
39 minutes. I wake up at 7:21, shower, get dressed and ready and work is a 7 minute drive from home. That’s if I’m on time. If I’m moving slow in the morning or if my boyfriend refuses to let me out of bed at the 7:21 mark then it might take 4-5 minutes longer but nobody notices if I stroll in at 8:05 as opposed to 8:00. I’m still usually one of the first people in my office.
You people are pissing me off with your speedy mornings.
I have to get myself and two young kids ready, drop them off at school/daycare, and drive over to campus. If we all move pretty quickly (i.e., I yell a lot), I can be parked in the datalab about two hours after I wake up. Of course, that’s not really the time of day where intellectual activity is my forte, so the real “work” doesn’t happen until early afternoon.
Approximately one hour, 15 minutes. I get up at 6:45-ish, and I’m at work at 8-ish.
My mornings are pretty much the same. I’m not as religious about my teeth, though, and I prefer baths to showers. Mr. S usually makes my breakfast and delivers it to my desk. The bath comes after that.
Sometimes I spend the whole day in my bathrobe, depending on how I feel, how much work I have to do, whether I plan to go anywhere (duh), etc. “Sitting around home working” clothes are much more casual than “going out and about” clothes. I never wear makeup and I never spend more than about 30 seconds styling my hair (which usually involves a ponytail, barrette, hair clip, hat, or scarf). I never leave the house without earrings in, but I rarely wear them around the house.
I commute Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Unless I have something to do or something. Then I’ll swap days. Or if there’s a Monday holiday I’ll go in Tuesday and telecommute Wednesday to avoid cabin fever. It works out pretty well. The drive isn’t that bad. Long, but it seems I’ve always had long commutes so it doesn’t bother me. It’s not too expensive because I drive a Prius and I can catch a bus for the last ten miles. (The company has a subsidy for bus passes.) I get to be comfortable at home, and I also get to go into Seattle; so it works out well for me. I could stand one more day of telecommuting per week, but I do like getting into the city.
I’m figuring out a morning routine right now. See, I’m changing my schedule on Monday from an 8-4:30 to a 6:30-3:00 schedule. That’s AM to PM BTW. I’m thinking up between 4:30-5:00, checking the Dope (we must have our priorities after all!) while drinking a cup of coffee, more caffiene intake and make/eat breakfast, purtify for work, get lunch together (I invision doing this the night before and doing the acutal packing of lunch in the morning), heading out the door for a ten minute commute and arriving at work no later that about 6:15, hitting the men’s room and logging in by around 6:25 for the day.
I think that’s doable. We shall see.
It takes me exactly 35 minutes from the time I wake up until I’m at my desk at work, and that’s including a 15 minute shower, because I love long hot showers. I could actually sleep for another 5-10 minutes but I usually spend 10 minutes just standing under the hot water doing absolutely nothing.
I wake up at 6:25 and get in the shower right away. At 6:40 I get dressed/get ready, grab my lunch and I’m out the door by 6:50. I usually arrive at work by 6:55 but then it takes another 5 minutes to walk through the parking lot, get into the building and walk upstairs to get to my desk by 7:00.
