Stand up at around 6:15, no snoozing the alarm. Get a glass of water and some yoghurt, cereals, fruit or bread, at least something light and not too heavy because after that I run around 30 minutes with my dog. This is my exercise and the dog needed to walk anyway. I do this 5 times a week.

After that drink a cup of coffee, and another glass of water, after which I first go to work at around 7:30, where I start with reviews, testing changes, and get through email. Standup is at 9:15, when I get another cup of coffee. The rest of the day is just cruising along; coding some stuff, fixing bugs, having some meetings etc... Usual SWE stuff.

Having started early, I can finish early, which gives me time for cooking, which I find very important. Because I already had my exercise in the morning, evenings are for me, my family and friends.

Weekends are similar, except I wake whenever I naturally awake, so my body and mind can recover where necessary, Although most of the time I still am awake at around 7:00.

This routine works very well for me. I try to keep low on alcohol and caffeine, of which the first one is going very well, but the second one a little less since I had a child a few months ago. Oh well...
