Prioritise tasks on sunday evening - breakfast - coffee - going for a walk - cleaning up my desk, so there is only my laptop and second screen on it - Go!
Actually I have a simple kanban board for myself: Backlog - ToDo - Done.
Every evening I prioritise my tasks for the next day in "ToDo", so I end up with 3-5 Tasks for the next day. I put the tasks which are important and require the most focus first, followed by urgent tasks, which do not require a lot of focus, followed by the rest. I really try to cut the tasks so small that I can actually finish them on that day (does not always work) and move them to "Done". After one week, I archive the "Done" section to have a clean sheet and give myself a high five (:
It is very simple and helps making me the most productive, since I figured I can concentrate the best in the first 3-4 hours of my day.

Depends on how my sunday was and how early I managed to go to sleep.
I splitted it into the two wake-up scenarios and the general stuff that follows after both of them.
Possibility 1:
If I got in bed before 22:00:
I set my alarm to 4:30 to go to the gym and work out for one hour.
Breakfast at home after coming back from the gym.
... rest below at common section โบ๏ธ
Possibility 2:
If I got in bed after 22:00:
My alarm goes off at 6:00 wether I need to be in an office that day or not.
When I need to drive to an office, I'll take my coffee from home with me or drink it infront of my standing desk in my homeoffice.
... rest below at common section โบ๏ธ
Common stuff, follows after both of the above:
Either I have to be at an office and hit the road with a cup of coffee from home or I work from home and drink my coffee infront of my standing desk. Note: dressing up helps to feel more productive, especially when working from home.
Usually I check DEV and a couple of other sites during my coffee and see what meetings are coming up that day and which tasks I need to get done or delegate.
I also check my journal from friday / the weekend if anything particular happened that needs my attention or that I need to talk about with somebody.
Also standing during that time is a must! ๐งโโ๏ธ
After finishing my first coffee, I try to plan my evening roughly to set a deadline for when I need to drive home or get off work at the homeoffice.
Ideally I have read all my mails and made the most important calls before the first standup begins โ

Every morning I wake up around 7:00, make tea and stretch a bit, journal while I'm drinking my tea, then take a shower and get dressed. (When there isn't a pandemic, I go to the gym and then come home to shower. Nowadays I shower and dress then go for a walk.) Then breakfast and some reading, then I make coffee and get to work.
On Mondays I spend most of the rest of the morning doing my GTD weekly review. (It shouldn't really take all morning, but it does; I've stopped fighting it.) That's when I look at my calendar and set my priorities for the week, and review and reflect on last week.

I tend to get up between 6 and 6:30 am, make a pre-workout and head to the gym for 45 minutes. Come back, shower, get changed, have breakfast and head to the office. Then I usually have a coffee and talk to my manager about the weeks priorities and what needs to be done first. I then check emails and articles for a bit, have our daily standup, stick my headphones on and start coding!
Monday mornings tend to be when I do the "administrative" work to setup a productive week.
Setup my weekly to-do list template in Evernote (place to jot thoughts from the week / todo lists that get updated and crossed off throughout the week)
Define a couple goals for the week (1 achievable and 1 stretch)
Clean out the inbox
I tend to hate admin tasks so try to knock out as much of it I can with an hour of Monday dedicated to it so can coast through the week on that front.
Let's start:
6:00 am - wake up
6:45 am - gym
8:00 am - back from gym
9:00 am - go to class
1:00 pm - back from class. Lunch time
1:30 pm - strong black coffee
2:00 pm - back to class
4:00 pm - back to my abode(hostel)
5:00 pm - writing post for my blog nlogn.in
9:00 pm - dinner and enjoy with friends.
10:30 pm - Good night.
My Monday starts a bit earlier than other weekdays (7:30-ish). I do a quick 10min stretch routine, and a roughly 30min cardio workout in the living room (don't judge me). After a good shower I enjoy my coffee, and have a quick glance over my day. I note down what I want to do today on a post-it, and take a breath of free air in front of the window before jumping into work!
I have the same routine every Monday morning...although the quarantine has thrown a wrench in that. Ah well, I'll get back to it eventually!
What I usually do is:
Wake up at 5 AM
Read my devotional, eat a light breakfast.
Ride my bike to the local cafรฉ by 6 AM.
Check email while drinking coffee. (Also, I like to read a few comics in the morning.)
Start writing on my book. By this point, I've also usually switched to decaf. I'll stay in the cafรฉ until about 10am, and then head home for other work.
Obviously, I'm not going to the cafรฉ during quarantine, but I'm trying to stick as close to this as I can regardless.

I can totally relate to the second point regarding bedtime... ๐
Sleep well on Sunday night, eat right for breakfast, and thank God for a new day filled with opportunities
There is probably a podcast or music running at any point that I am not interacting with family.
I really should do a better job at having a planning day. I have in the past and have really enjoyed it.
