My ideal morning routine:

  • Wake up without an alarm
  • A glass of water and a cup of coffee
  • Sit down at my laptop and go through some Japanese flashcards
  • Go for a quick run, then shower
  • Walk the dog
  • Read a book on my 35min commute to work

But realistically, depending on when I wake up I might skip the run, and do the flashcards on my commute instead. I sometimes use a Fitbit alarm that vibrates on my wrist to try and wake up early enough but I turn that one off in my sleep sometimes. I prioritise feeling well-rested though so I don't like setting an alarm on my phone to wake me up unless I really needed to.

Man, I would love to be able to go alarmless! I find it getting harder and harder to get out of bed since it's getting so cold! Only really find time to do my Anki cards on the commute

I'm on the other side of the equator so I don't have that problem at the moment! By the way, if you're looking for blog ideas I'd love to hear about how your experience has been working as a developer in Japan.

I thought about doing somethin like that, but nothin really came to mind. But I'll keep thinking and jotting down ideas. Thanks for the advice!
