I've recently retired. I get up between 0630 and 0700 and do fifteen minutes of core strength exercises. I create a new handwritten task list for the day, then have a long, slow breakfast (at least an hour, sometimes ninety minutes) while I read articles in my RSS feed.

When I was working, I got up at 0500 and worked for two hours (I usually set aside a challenging coding task for this slot the day before). Then the core strength exercises, task list and breakfast (although not as leisurely).
