"My cats wake me up by 8:30am. I like silence in the morning. Then I get to the desk at 9am and turn on my music, and the silence is gone. I'll check emails to see if there are any fires. I have a bullet journal, and will mark one or two things to finish that day. Sometimes I can just turn on my working brain. But on other days, it's like an old car. I've got to crank it up with warm-ups.
