I'm a random mech eng in a large corporation so this may be in a vastly different context to many of you.

  T=0 Wake up to alarm
  T+~3 Shower
  T+~13 Exit shower, begin other amenities e.g.: teeth, hair
  T+~17 Get dressed
  T+~20 Exit front door
  T+25 Get on train for work
  T+50 Get in work, do admin tasks like email.
  T+90 Get a coffee, knuckle down for longer tasks
I'm thinking of mixing it up shortly due to some changes with work, whereby I'll look to cycle to work. This should be slightly faster than the train + walk commute that I presently do. We have fantastic cycle facilities here including catered showers, bike racks, etc. This would shift my routeine to:

  T=0 Get Up
  T+3 Basic clothes
  T+5 Cycle
  T+25 Shower at work
  T+35 Other amenities at work
  T+37 Get dressed
  T+40 Start admin tasks etc.
You'll note I don't eat breakfast - I rarely feel like I can eat of a morning. The coffee at about T+90 tends to be the first point I begin to feel hungry, and suppresses my appetite decently until lunch time. I keep getting told I should eat breakfast and I think if I did an hour-long ritual at home I may start doing so, but I don't feel held back by not having it in my current routine.
