I just came beck from holidays and having troubles start working :)

Good and interesting post!

The first thing I do when I wake up is thank God for giving me another day to live a healthy life . 

Then I go to everyone's room and say good morning to all my family because without family , I wouldn't be who I am today . 

I am very much of a morning person , I like to wake up early in the morning to get more work done . I feel like people who tend to stay in bed during their mornings do not get as much done . The sun is my inspiration .

I immediately make myself a coffee - without it I will not wake up, and open my aipad. Until I see the exchange of crypto-currencies and Steemit, I will not calm down :)

A short thank you prayer before freshening up is what makes my day. A healthy breakfast takes me through phase one of the day. Thanks for asking:)

*  What is most important to me in the morning?
_Sleep_

*    What simple thing I could do in the morning that would make me feel better?
_More sleep_

*    What activities makes my brain foggy in the morning?
_Lack of sleep_

*    What activities makes me feel like I'm on fire?
_Setting myself on fire?_

*    When is the best time to wake up for me?
_Noon_

*    When am I most productive?
_Any time except mornings_

*    How long my waking up process should be before I start tackling work?
_Ideally, 2 minutes. Realistically, the better part of the day. Just let me sleep already!_

Without coffee, I am nowhere.
I am not sure this list of questions is applicable to everybody

Good post and good advice. But how many people would take it? I personally have always had a good routine and always eat breakfast. I am certian that this has helped me keep good metabolism and a reasonably healthy lifestyle. Stay well. JV

i think in morning we need to have golden hour where we plan our day,week and life, so we write what is important and what we need to do, also its important to have ~ 30 minute to think how i can make my work more efficient what steps i need to do:) Also its important to have some healthy habits at morning so you will live longer and more happy

Great posting..i like this story.

whoa, starting the day with journaling. Something challenging. For me will be #coffee and a simple breakfast.

Some good advice here, i suck at mornings but i am always up early! I think i might give some of your suggestions a go for the next week and see how it goes.

Do you follow this daily?

Every morning is different for me :) this is bad from one point of view and kind of interesting from another.  Why is it different? Because my body and brain totally rely on several things : 
- amount of sleep ( also depends whether the sleep was ongoing or I was waking up from time to time) 
- how I was feeling before going to sleep ( very often it  results into the quality of the sleep) 
- whether my day is planned.
So if I had 8-9 hours of sleep, I went to sleep not too late, not hungry and not sick and in the morning I will have a plan of the day - I am sure I will have a very productive morning.  However, letš presume if I got upset in the evening and was thinking about it for half of the night, as result I was sleeping like 4-5 hours, nothing will help me in the morning I will be totally broken and only coffee might help me with a time. 
So yea every morning depends on many aspects, some of the can be controlled like time to go to sleep, proper eating etc, and some of them cannot - like emotional things. 
Why I find it interesting?  Because every morning is different :) and sometimes it is even exciting to see myself fighting to make it more efficient.

Mmm very interesting... not sure I would have ever really disclosed all of this here but I will because, well why not... honestly is key... No judgements?
I have got myself down to a 6 hour sleep schedule over months of training to be able to get enough sleep and focus during my awake hours (sometimes I may nap lol) so I tend to take up rather early around 5 or 530am. I am planing on a morning routine that involves the gym starting Sept, but for now... I wake up, put a pot of water on to boil for coffee, stretch, brush my teeth and do the other morning bathroom stuff, maybe a shower depending on hooow early I awaken. I then make my coffee which I use a french press, I let it sit for about 8 - 10 minutes. Here is where i feel some judge but oh well, its meeee, but I smoke a little bit of MJ to get the creative juices flowing in my mind(I know its a bad habbit, but its almost like a guilty pleasure that I find helps me rather than harms me, mentally that is. I only have the odd drink here or there so its not like im a raging substance user :D) I then pour the coffee, head to my computer desk and start scrolling through crypto news. I then head over to youtube and now Dtube and follow along for an hour or so with a few of my fav. mentors as they talk about many things. next I head to steemit and check all my replies and do a quick scroll through my feed to see if anything pops out quickly. Then I check my trading accounts and see if there are any good looking charts to dabble into for the day. I then head back to Steemit and do  a more serious scroll through my feed and interact with the stories i feel are good ones ........ phew....  by then the ol' lady is up and I either head to work or well head for breakfast or something along those lines..... 
My next goal is to somehow setup my work station in an out door or very naturally lit area somewhere so that when the fall season hits I can be comfortable in a natural setting while I do my morning routine...... Phew... 
Cheers :)

Regards to know ya steam friends .. hopefully we can be friends well

After i wake up, i eat and then hit the gym. Since i am doing this my level of energy has skyrocketed. I no longer need to drink coffe at every hour of the day. I am glad i quit that damn thing.

The best time is early in the morning but it also important that get sleep at least 6 hours.The most important to me in morning to wake up itself,Take bath and pray then go walk feel better after breakfast,If someone disturb me while sleeping that disturbance make my brain foggy all day till i not sleep.

great post, I love the positive vibe.

When I get up in the morning I try to exercise and then meditate for a few minutes. I also write down at least one thing I am grateful for in my life. I started doing this about two years ago and it has made an incredible difference in my life. Before, I felt like I was falling apart. Now, I feel like I have a consistent touchstone every morning that gets me going strong for the day. Great post today @cryptoctopus. Thanks for your work on this.

My morning routine starts off every day with an internal struggle where I decide how badly I want to wake up "early" to begin my morning workout routine or "snooze" and get some extra sleep. After my workout, I get showered and dressed and head off to work. My trip to work includes grabbing a coffee on my way out the door and the first thing I do before I start working is grab some water and catch up on any personal matters that I was unable to complete the prior day, or came up overnight. Then I get cracking at work!

Lately I have been good and going for my morning run, doing some stretching, and starting my day "early". I'm trying to make this daily effort into a true routine where it becomes automatic. Since I don't think it's necessary to run every day, I will have to figure out the right mix of morning exercises to perform so I continue to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.

I am far from a morning person, so keeping a routine is crucial to being successful in my morning efforts!

have a cup of coffee with a piece of cake and smoke a cigarette

My first morning actions are a bit strange:) First of all really first of all) I go to my working desk and prepare all the materials I will need form drawing today. If digital - I open PS and create canvas I need, and settle the brush, If traditional - I prepare water for watercolor and all the pencils and pens. The reason is simple - it's much easier for me to come afterward when everything is ready. And only then I have breakfast, ect:)

Everytime I woke up, I never forget to thank the Lord. I didn't pray for myself, instead I pray for my parents. I pray for their physical, emotional and mental well being. Because I know that they're just acting strong for my sake. I thank God for every blessings that I received and for the blessings that I'm about to receive. And I also pray to God how sorry I am for all the sins that I committed and how more than a sinner I am. I stayed on bed just a couple of minutes just realizing stuffs. Reflecting on myself, mostly asking myself what I've done wrong, what are the things I should've done, and what should I do to make it right. 

After that, I will stretch and go straight to the comfort room to freshen up. Doing my morning routine, brushing my teeth, taking a bath, and just the common morning routine that a normal people do. 

Then, I'll be greeting every member of the family. Helping my mom preparing breakfast and also with the dishes.

I work from home so I don't have to to outside. Maybe sometimes when I need to walk my dog and also having some morning walk or run.

I think that's all I can share. Have a good and nice day! God bless. 😊
