How do you start your Monday Morning? Coffee? Brain fog?

Get some movement, write a to-do list and wait for 1-1.5 hrs before I drink coffee to avoid caffeine crash.

The brain fog is crazy, so I sit down and spend 15minutes thinking about the day, my goals and plan things accordingly.

Exercise: Starting your day with a workout can help to boost your energy levels and set a positive tone for the day.

Coffee for sure. At work we start our week with tracking KPIs and planning our sprint. It helps align our team and also is a start of week ritual that helps set the mood and clear up any doubts so we can go into the week motivated. :)

Well usually I start Monday morning with a cup of coffee and a cigarette, it makes me sad, so I decide to quit smoking and switch to vaping to start with, but I need to study the guide to understanding and using electronic cigarettes to understand all the risks. But there is a good start to Monday mornings, it's a trip to the woods on my bike, picking mushrooms and just enjoying the forest air. But when I have to go to work on Monday, I just get in my car and drive to a job I don't like.

I start my Monday with a weekly catchup with all the teams across all departments.

Wake up, cold shower, prepare a coffee (and croissant 🥐), and start the most challenging work immediately—deep focus for 2-4 hours. Pause with sport, and then the rest of the day is spent solving less energy-demanding tasks. Everything is scheduled the evening before (for Monday, it's prepared Friday). Tried it for multiple weeks, and pretty effective :D

[5:30am] - most days (go for a run?) -> skip the run -> coffee -> plug in for an hour -> (at least do some pushups?) -> skip the pushups -> kids are up -> feed the kids -> get kids out of the house -> coffee -> plug back in for 9:00am standup!
