As the Winter goes, I use a few more hours in a day. I can count on two hands the waking hours I spend in my apartment every week. Between work, travel, events, friends—I get very little home time. I’m okay with that: I love a fast-paced life. But the one moment when I take the time to slow down a little is in the morning (full disclaimer: I’m never the first one in the office). Because I’m rarely home in the evenings—I’m either at work, catching up with friends or at industry events—mornings are the only time I have to get organized and get some life admin done.
On good days, I start by going for a quick run, followed by a speedy shower. I put on a podcast, get a little cleaning done, do some laundry. I catch up on emails, go over my to-do list for the day, and I love taking my time to get ready.
For the longest time, one thing was missing from this morning routine: BreakFast. I cannot function without it, but I’m also a bit of a Milk snob. You’ll never find me whipping up a cup of instant coffee. Instead, you’ll likely find me chatting away with my local barista.
I’ll still miss my Univerity friends #GJU—some parts more than others. I’ll miss the our crazy plans and things we say to each other . It is genuinely true that we would be put in a mental hospital if other people heard what we said to each other. I miss going past a cop and turning your bass and volume up all the way. But if Kota has taught me anything (and by anything I mean a lot), it’s how to live in a small space and love it (and you can read all about it on MyDomaine).
