How much time do you need to get going?
- Get four kids out of bed
- Feed them
- Clothe them
- Make them lunch
- Drive them to school/daycare
- Return back home to unwind in my home office, scratch balls, and enjoy the peace and quiet
Same, except step 6 is to drive to work and grind for 8 hours. I dread opening emails on Monday morning.
I honestly don’t know how you do it

I feel for you mate that’s a lot to juggle
On an ideal (working) morning if be up a couple of hours before I need to leave the house to bathe, make breakfast and something for lunch, clean the kitchen a little (which is my domain in the house), sit and watch TV or read for a bit, then leave with plenty of time to get to work.
Sometimes I manage this.
Otherwise it’s snooze the alarm a few times, get out of bed, shower, make some toast quickly, lob some food at the cats and leave a little later than ideal, and get to work just in time.
Unfortunately my partner works from home and gets up later than me so my comfy bed has a chronic cuddler in it, and she’s normally surrounded by our cats too so my bed is a wonderful nest that’s difficult to crawl out from.
It takes me most of the morning 😆 I’m an afternoon / evening person, the morning is for listening to the birds and looking out the window while lazily responding to messages and doing the easy busywork ; so it’s all out of the way for the real work of the afternoon.
I need a slow and peaceful morning so I can ramp up.
Get woken up by family, told it’s my turn to handle child, say I was told I can sleep in, fight, regret not sleeping earlier, repeat?, profit 🤑
