I like getting up early in the morning. It’s so quiet and peaceful. No one to bother me and no distractions…at least during the work week. Except for Tuesday, when the hubs works from home, I have this time all to myself. He gets up early every other day of the week to go to work. Kind of a bummer for him since it’s about 5:15am when he does get up and has to drive an hour to get to work. I get up right after he is finished in the bathroom which is typically around 5:30am.

These morning hours are mine to treasure. I have a routine that I follow pretty religiously. I generally turn on the TV to catch the weather for the day and then shut it off immediately afterwards because I don’t want to watch the news and have it ruin my day. I put in a movie that I love and then I’ll jump online to catch up on emails, and then perhaps check out Facebook for a few minutes. Afterwards I’ll start working on my next writing project. About 6:00am I’ll take a quick shower and then it’s back to the computer to finish up whatever I’ve been writing on. I can usually pound out one thing before it’s time for me to get ready for work.

I find that I am pretty productive when I stick to this routine. I feel really good when I can accomplish as much as I do. Since I don’t have any other responsibilities besides myself and my husband, I know that I am making progress in this great big world we live in. Plus it leaves some of the evening time to spend with the person that I share this house with :-).
