The best part of waking up

Well, I was going to spend all day today doing things that I wanted to do instead of a) working, b) doing things other people wanted me to do, or c) just browsing social media and forums.

I've successfully not done a).

It feels a little silly that the first thing I do in the morning could set the tone for the rest of my day, and that I have a hard time breaking out of it - but at the same time, I can't help feeling like if I didn't immediately start checking email and social media when I woke up, I might be in a better place.

Maybe I'll try to set a rule that I'm not allowed to check email, social media, etc. until I've had a shower and at least one cup of coffee. That's already a part of my morning routine, so it would just be a matter of shuffling things around.
