On weekdays, when I have school, I get up at 5:25 A.M., and do some morning exercises. While I do this, I boil some water for coffee. Afterwards, I make some coffee and have some breakfast (bowl of cereal or, lately, a fiber bar). Then on my way to school, I zone out to my iPod. So far, this seems to work okay.

On weekends, I sleep in (wake up usually between 10:00 and 12:00). Sometimes I start up my 360 immediately, and jump into a 3-4 hour gaming spree. Other times, I'll take a cold shower. And sometimes I'll do morning exercises.

Lately, I've been thinking that I should change how I start my day, because, frankly, these patterns are starting to become a monotony. With my spring-break, I've totally destroyed all usual day-beginning habits, so now I'm set for a clean-slate. So, NSGers, how do you get your day started? And what changes would you recommend (if any) to how I start my day?

Roll out of bed at 5 to 9, put some sweats on, and slump off to class.

How do You Get Your Day Started?
With a kickstart.

Well, not really, but I miss these days a bit.

Rise at 6.30, shower, coffee, yoghurt, news, bus, underground. Espresso. Office at 8.30 more or less.

Drink a bottle of Lucozade, otherwise I can't function.

I wake up.

I like to send about half an hour prelaxing, and then I masturbate.

....I'm starting to feel I'm not being all I can be.

I wake up.

How odd.

6:15am on weekdays, go to gym until 8:15am, shower, leave for the studio at 9:15am.

11am on weekends, unless I'm hungover.

Stumble out of bed, cig, shower, get dressed, cig, strong coffee, breakfast, drink some water, bumble into uni or work.

Go to sleep again, wake up. Again. Get up and go to the computer, eat, leave the computer in a hurry noticing that I'm gonna be late. Furiously packing and getting dressed, searching for my cell phone and MP3 and going to school.

Get up whenever, depending on when my class starts and what day of the week it is. If it's Saturday, Sunday or Monday, I get up whenever my body decides it wants to leave bed, otherwise I get up about 15-30 minutes before I need to leave.

Wow... so you do this every day for... how long? Anything longer than 6 months is something I would never be able to do. That sounds much more monotonous than anything I've ever done...

"Prelaxing?" *googles*I've heard that some people masturbate to get their day started, but I haven't tried that yet.

Drink a bottle of Lucozade, otherwise I can't function.

Hmmm... sports drinks are kinda expensive, compared to coffee...

Time I get up depends which day of the week, but between 6.30 and 7.30. Kettle on, shower, brew tea, dressed, Today programme on, breakfast (cereal, tea, fruit), teeth, then it's usually time to leave for work.

Weekends: up whenever, shower, dressed, breakfast. Then whatever.

How odd.

not really... that's how I also start my day.

It's only a pound, and coffee doesn't wake me up any more. There is no better way to start my day than to have lucozade and a cigarette.

hump the person in bed with me?

There are some strange people on NSG.

What time do you first wake up? You remind me of my uncle; he would eat something small for dinner, sleep 6 hours, eat a huge meal, sleep 3 hours, then wake up. Funny thing is, he's the oldest of my uncles but looks like the youngest of them.

I wish I could be as flexible as that...

Humans are creatures of habit.

Well, it's difficult to get out of bed, yo mamma is always begging for more etc...

Get up between 6:30 and 7:00, get ready, roll over to engineering by 9:00 at the latest.

*shrugs*

The monotony is relaxing. I enjoy going to the gym and zoning out with some good music, getting in a good stretch, then a hot shower before heading into the studio to work.

Are you an actor or something?

Are you an actor or something?

Nah, I'm an artist. I work at a design studio.

"Prelaxing?


I've got to be preped for all the relaxing I'm going to do during the day.:p

Oh, right. What kind of art?

It's only a pound, and coffee doesn't wake me up any more. There is no better way to start my day than to have lucozade and a cigarette.

Well, around where I live, a sports drink is $2.something per bottle, which I would, at the least, drink half of in a morning. Compared to about a $4-5 can of instant coffee mix that will last me a month or two, it's much more economical for me. I'm not sure if coffee gets me up, because sometimes I fall asleep in class. And I don't have coffee in the morning on the weekends or during vacations, either (not because I'm afraid I'll get addicted, but I just don't feel like having it).

Of course, a cigarette is out of the question.

Oh, right. What kind of art?

I'm an illustrator, primarily editorial. I don't have anything to show you right now, my online portfolio is taking ages to compile.

It's my habit to change my routines when they start to feel monotonous.

Out of the question? You speak as though they're harmful.

I kind of envy you, but for me even that would eventually get boring.

Cool. I've had a couple of pieces in a local exhibition. But I kinda gave it up.

I have asthma. Also, underage. But even if I didn't have asthma and were of legal age, I still wouldn't use them. I know to well that addictions for me are troublesome; I just wouldn't be able to handle myself.

My last work was published on Friday on the front page of the Guardian. I was quite proud of that.

My morning rituals:

Weekdays Wake up, start shower, take a huge crap, take shower, shave/brush teeth, take all medications if needed, get dressed, grab an apple/orange, go to school.

Weekends Wake up, start shower, take a huge crap, take shower, shave/brush teeth, get high, get dressed, go to lunch with a cute girl.

I'm asthmatic and under-age and it doesn't stop me. But I guess I'm just stupid.

What!? Not the national paper!?

I wake up around 5:30, take a shower, put on some clothes, drive to uni, surf the web in the research lab until 9:30, head off to class.

About 6-8 AM.

I wish I could be as flexible as that...

I'm a post-grad student. The dream ends when the program ends in August...

About 6-8 AM.

Hmmm.... I thought it be around 4-5 AM. So you actually wake up, go back to sleep, then wake up again on a weekday basis?

Then what happens?

Hmmm.... I thought it be around 4-5 AM. So you actually wake up, go back to sleep, then wake up again on a weekday basis?

Basically, yeah. Actually, now that I think of it, I haven't woke up at 8. My mum always wakes me up around half past eight.

Note: I'm 14.

Don't you have to go to school?

What time does your school start? Later than 9:00 AM, and I'm going to be pissed.

Don't you have to go to school?

Yeah, earliest time school starts is 8:10.

Well, tomorrow it starts at 9:50.

Yeah, earliest time school starts is 8:10.



Well, tomorrow it starts at 9:50.

Now, I'm confused. Are you telling me that you're school starts at different times for the weekdays and weekends?

Now, I'm confused. Are you telling me that you're school starts at different times for the weekdays and weekends?

Different times for different days. Mondays 9:50, Tuesdays 9:00, Wednesday same as Tuesdays, Thursdays same as Mondays and Fridays 8:10.

Are you telling me you have to go to school on weekends?

I get up when I want, except on wednesdays, when I get rudely wakened by the dustmen. (parklife!)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think about leaving the house. (parklife!)
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too.
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being. (parklife!)
And then Im happy for the rest of the day,
Safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKCoBt43HWE)

Weekday:
er...I get woken up far too early by my alarm (which I will one day smash), maybe think about getting up and then rush to work

sometimes I might think about a shower, shit, shave and maybe even breakfast but I can never be arsed to get out of bed unless I have threats of physical violence upon my being :tongue:

Weekend:
jump out of bed before everyone else and cook breakfast then watch T4 for a few hours

Different times for different days. Mondays 9:50, Tuesdays 9:00, Wednesday same as Tuesdays, Thursdays same as Mondays and Fridays 8:10.

Why? And does it end at different times?

Weekend:
jump out of bed before everyone else and cook breakfast then watch T4 for a few hours

Freesports on 4?

Why? And does it end at different times?

Yeah. For example, tomorrow it ends at 16:00. Friday ends at 13:00.

Oh... Damn, I wish my school worked like that....

Are you telling me you have to go to school on weekends?

No. Since WMU's location is Finland, I thought maybe school there goes into the weekend. In Italy, school is from Monday to Saturday. I don't know much about European education systems, so I simply assumed.

Why?

I dunno. At least it's not monotonous.

It used to be from Monday to Saturday. But, in the 60s-70s they changed it and now it is from Monday to Friday.

Link? Not out of disbelief, just curious to see what your style is.

Freesports on 4?

nah before everyone else usually translates as getting up in time for the Hollyoaks omnibus

edit: not that I'm a fan I really can't understand this show

About the usual...

*blinks*
"Where am I..."

*looks over*

"...and ohmygodIaminbedwithagirlwithoutatop"


Ahhhhhhhhhhhh weekends.

I then proceeded to make some fantastic eggs over easy with toast and a little drizzle of hot sauce.

Stumble out of bed whenever I feel like it (usually around noon ish), miss shitloads of classes, and go to http://www.reddit.com to waste the rest of my day.

I'm the epitome of productivity.

On schooldays I get up and go to school, and thats prettymuch it...

On Workdays I get up and go to work, and thats prettymuch it...

and on days when im off, I get up and eat lunch, :D

I usually get up around 7-8, shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack my lunch/dinner and browse the internet for a bit and try to into work some time between 9-10.

I start my day at about 5:25 PM take a shit, shave, take a shower, and then go from there.
On Sundays because of work I don't go to bed until noon but I am still up at 5:25 pm to go back wot work... where I am now...

08.30 alarm, 09:00 up, sometimes breakfast, then shit, shave & bath (don't have a shower), office by 10:30 most days, leave at 7:30 most days, dinner, TV/xbox, bed.

repeat.
its pretty flexible, which is good. but its still monotonous

weekend: wake up about the same time (ish), girlfriend is usually over, cuddle in bed till lunch watching tv/dvd or doing stuff, often miss breakfast and showering (we just like to smell ;))


jump out of bed before everyone else and cook breakfast then watch T4 for a few hours
bleh, i can't stand the presenters on T4. used to love saturday morning tv when i was a kid... now i think i'd rather spend all morning picking my ass, no matter which channel :P

Brush, floss, shower, check NSG, eat something, run, return and do push-ups. This is generally applicable on all days of the week.

Kalisthenics (maybe 20 min) and sometimes coffee, milk or an egg.

Mondays- Wake up at 8, get dressed and brush teeth, go to chemistry class, then go to breakfast, then go to calculus class at 10:45. After that I'm done with classes for the day, Monday is my easy day.
Tuesdays- Wake up around 8:20, eat breakfast, brush teeth, go to physics lab
Wednesdays- basically the same as Mondays except I'm not done after calculus
Thursdays- Wake up at 7, eat breakfast, brush teeth, go to chemistry lab
Fridays- Wake up at 7:20, eat breakfast, brush teeth, go to chemistry small groups

But now labs are over, since we had our lab finals last week, so I'll be able to sleep in on Tuesday and Thursday and then do homework/my project/study until my 3:30 class, since I'm done with the project for my 12:30 Tuesday and Thursday class, turned it in early and got 100%, and he said I don't have to come to class anymore because there isn't much point, all they'll be doing in class this week is... turning in their projects. :)

I think I need some plastic surgeons to graft a vagina on me >_>

Where would you like it? :p

actual wake up time relies entirely upon my work schedule...but usually up at 8, go to the gym for an hour, come home, have a protein shake and see if I can scrounge up some kind of breakfast, shit, shower, brush teeth, get dressed, go to work, hate life.

Weekends, roll my ass out of bed whenever I can, take a vitamin, shower, sit on my ass. Drink at some point.
