[…] In this episode of Best of Both Worlds, Sarah and Laura talk about their morning routines (WHY is it so fun to hear what other people do???) Sarah’s routine was especially interesting to me- she gets up at 4:45 (ouch) and then spends an hour drinking coffee, eating a light breakfast, reading, looking at her planner for the day, doing a short meditation, and THEN she goes for a run.

In reply to Annie. @Annie - yep, some times of life morning routines are just tougher than others. Your time will come. And in the meantime, a little post-work start me time can work too.

@LDMN – I know, we are so far from explicit – I hope no one *didn’t* listen to this week’s podcast because of that!

@Maggie – pancake mixes are great! I know it’s not hard to mix a handful of ingredients together but I’m not going to do that in the few minutes available for breakfast making on a weekday. My husband and daughter plan to make some fancy pancakes this weekend…I’m sure most people don’t drive kids on their own property- that’s just a function of the layout of our yard and where the bus comes!
Yep – people get leisure time at night or in the AM. The upside of the AM is that people tend to have more energy and more things are possible. But if someone can exercise and write a novel at night, more power to them!

Sarah, I am so jealous of your morning routine. I just love the sound of it. I’m in the boat of toddlerhood and soon to be back in the newborn phase. My 2 year old just figured out how to open her door/all door knobs in our home and we get frequent visits from her. I feel like I can’t get up as early as I would like since getting my 8 hours of sleep is hard enough and about to get harder. I know this is a phase and I’m glad you called it out for what it is in the episode, my time will come but it isn’t right now. That said, I really like what Laura mentioned about taking a little time once you go to work to have some ‘me’ time. This is much more realistic for me given I work from home.

First, I am so very sorry about all the pain you are experiencing— it sounds awful and I hope you get relief soon! Second, I’m sorry Apple said your podcast is “explicit”… it’s mildly hilarious to me because you’re always so very clean and on the up and up! I hope they sort it out soon!

As a European, I can’t not find it funny that Americans use pancake mixes and drive kids on their own property 😉
Thanks for pointing out that bedtimes and morning routines go together! I think that’s very often overlooked. You can choose to have time at night or in the morning. Not both. If you’re a night owl, you’ll probably not benefit from rising early and your evening hours are valuable.
