Morning phone routine - what's yours?

[WithIcePlease]

I don't think I have seen a thread on this

This is what I do in the morning while listening to the Today programme

1. Check emails (personal) - i don't read them in any depth first thing in the morning though unless earth shattering
2. Scan through the headlines in the Telegraph online - just to check the world hasn't ended while I was asleep. May notice a health /lifestyle article to read later but definitely not up to reading any articles before brain woken properly

3 Check kindle daily deals

1. Clickword - used to do Wordle - I do a practice one first as brain still a bit slow!
2. Quick whizz through MN active

Then I'm ready to start my day

Does anyone else have a routine like this?

This is exactly like my morning routine except l play scrabble online so catch up with those who have made a move during the night. Then l am ready to go!

1. do plusword
2. check diary
3. check whatsapp and email
4. take MN off my blocked sites list so that I can check in and see what's happening
5. put MN back on my blocked sites list so that I can be productive and not get distracted Repeat steps 4 and 5 several times throughout day....

Quick email scan, quick WhatsApp check, read a few bits on here and maybe a few clickword rounds. All while having my morning coffee.

Wordle
Weather
Emails
News
MN

Message my Dad good morning
Read the news headlines
Sync Fitbit to see how many hours I didn’t sleep!
Look at the weather for the day
See how much money I spent on gas & electricity yesterday
Check my personal emails
Go on Mumsnet

Check my blood sugar levels and see what action I need to take
Loo and brush teeth
Get dressed and go out for a run with the dog
Get back and drink coffee my husband has made, then get bits out/ready for everyone elses breakfast
Have a shower and get the baby up

My only morning ‘phone routine’ is to turn it off silent mode and check it’s charged for the day.

Check for any messages from previous night
Check emails
Check diary for the day/week
Read news
Check weather
Look at mumsnet or do Wordle if time

I have retired now but when working I used to check nothing and just focus on getting ready and out the door with the news on in the background on the tv.

Now retired I look at messenger, what’s app, Discord, BBC news, then MN. In that order.

Email notifications come up on my Home Screen, so I see if there’s anything interesting on there first.

Then it’s:

Facebook
Twitter
MN

Check any notifications
Reply to any messages
Check FB
Check Instagram
Go on MN

Check work WhatsApp, which is muted, to check there's none I actually need to read or that I can continue to ignore until I start work
News headlines
Weather
Facebook memories
CCTV alerts
Bank account
MN & Instagram

Look at the weather forecast - with an 11 week old baby and toddler, good weather helps me plan my day!
Scroll instagram or mn
Look at the news headlines
check emails - mainly to see if I’ve won the lotto 😬
text anyone back from the night before

I read things of personal interest and might check the weather but wouldn't check emails/work until I am in paid working time.

Sit down with phone and a cup of tea.

One or more of our many cats sit on my lap (currently 3 foster kittens including one who rarely comes for a sit so of course I must make the most of it and am not allowed to move).

Two hours later.......

Same here. Or get annoyed if I've forgotten to charge it

I am a master procrastinater so checking my phone can take hours.
I do my games first: wordle, nerdle, globle, xordle, phrazle and the photo one I saw on here a few weeks ago. I check mn. I check the weather. I read the news. I turn on Sonos. I check personal emails. I only respond to texts/what's apps once a week because they stress me out massively so hide all the new ones.
