How do you start your working day?

#discuss #career #productivity

For me it's almost everyday the same:

Starting the computer
Preparing my breakfast (oats most of the time) and talk to my colleagues
Checking emails and the JIRA tasks I'm currently working on for updates
Plugin in my headphones and start coding :)

How do you start your working day? Do yo have any rituals?

I start my day with a glass of water. Then I make coffee. While having coffee, I do my DEV mod work. Then I do my client hunt, side projects, meetings, post memes, watch funny facebook/youtube videos. lol

Do you mean once I get into work?

Sort my stuff out. I.e. hang up jacket, plug phone in, etc.
Grab a coffee and fill my water bottle.
Eat my breakfast and drink coffee whilst getting up-to-date with Dev.to, Twitter and Slack.
Once my coffee is done I'll collate everything from the day before in my head, write down a to-do (if I have a clear one), check emails/meetings and basically do some tidying before the scrum.
Waste my time doing the scrum
Start working

I work remote at the moment but it usually is the same no matter where I am:

Put all my stuff away and plug in computer
Grab breakfast and / or something to drink
Open computer check Slack / Email / Messaging systems
Check the news or read a bit on a tech topic
Start work on what ever tasks are for the day
Meetings, all the meetings
