Heaven forbid it's to turn on your computer and go to Adobe Forums website or grab your smartphone. If it's either of those you need a 12 step program and fast.

1. Coffee!!! There is no life in my house without coffee. Thank goodness my husband makes it before he leaves for work and puts it in the insulated pot so it will still be fresh and hot for me!

2. Bathroom, shower, brush teeth... blah, blah, blah.

3. more coffee, feed the cats

4. call my mother (she is 83 so I check on her daily)

5. sit down at PC to check e-mail and such.

1. Shower

2. Put in false teeth (or is that TMI?)

3. Get dressed.

4. Put on kettle

5. Feed two dogs and a cat who are nagging like mad

6. Make tea for wife and myself.

7. Create some kind of breakfast while tea is brewing

8. Deliver tea to wife who is still in bed

9. Sit down with tea and breakfast

10. Open computer with first few sips of tea. Check email first but as there's always Adobe stuff, that sort of starts my Adobe day.

1. Hot weather: turn off AC.

Cold weather: turn on furnace.

2. Bathroom.

3. Get glass of iced tea in hot weather or coffee in cold weather + some fresh fruit.

4. Get newspaper from front lawn, turn on TV and watch a documentary from my Amazon playlist -- approx 45 min. Off TV.

5. Go to computer. Open Candy Crush Soda Saga & check my daily bonus. Play game / fulfill quests for boosters -- approx 30-min to 1 hour.

6. Check e-mail and forums.

7. Make my To-Do List.

8. Start my workday.

That _really_ made me laugh out loud. In fact I'm still laughing as I type this.
guess I had better play after commenting on Barb's post.

1. Bathroom and shower.

2. Coffee and read the news on my iPad to see what he-who-shall-not-be-named has done — no laughing from me here, Trevor, I just slap my forehead in disgust. First I read the Washington Post, followed by the New York Times, the New Yorker, BBC, and The Guardian.

3. Watch snippets from the late-night comedians, and this is where I laugh out loud — at the same time feeling sick that this is my country and this is my life: i.e., Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers.

4. Then I get dressed and am off to teach classes, often driving 50 miles.

Does the iPad qualify me for the 12-step?

Yep. Maybe we can get a 2-for-1 deal.

"Eat the frog" — I try to get the most distasteful thing on my To Do list done first thing in the morning.

?? I hesitate to ask as I have a feeling I am going to regret doing so, but curiosity has the better of me.

Ha. "Eat the frog" is a phrase used in the business world and Mark Twain once spoke of it. It is a technique to help avoid procrastination. It simply means do the thing that most needs doing (that you would avoid doing) and get it out of the way first thing. :-)

I suppose I could have answered the question with "Open my eyes" or "Shave" or some such but my priority every morning first thing is to "eat the frog". Plus it sounds way more interesting. :-)

First thing I do is make a smoothie and have a bowl of yogurt and granola.

After that I take a shower, then check the surf. After I surf or at least I will jump in the ocean I will come home.

Then turn on the Mac computer on and then open Adobe Animate and play. I love playing around in Adobe Animate
