What is your morning routine?

I’ve set general guidelines for what I’m supposed to be doing at specific times that I try my best to follow. It doesn’t always happen, but it’s the best method I’ve found so far. This would be an ideal (i.e. everything happens according to schedule) morning for me:

06:00
I wake up. I drink some water, get in the shower, and wash my hair.

06:30
I get out of the shower, get dressed, dry (and occasionally straighten) my hair, and do my makeup.

07:00
I go downstairs and have breakfast, then come back upstairs, brush my teeth, and make sure I have everything I need for school.

07:30
I get in the car and leave.

What that means is that if it’s 07:20 and I’m still not in the shower, I know I have a problem, and will need to make up for those 20 minutes by cutting corners elsewhere. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve put this much thought into planning my morning routine, but it’s the only way I can get to school without being ridiculously late.
