Morning Routine


  1. Wake up

  2. Wake up

  3. You’ve snoozed your alarm three times wake up!

  4. Check your phone. Are you scared? What did you miss? What happened last night? 7 hours in which you had checked out of this world, did it end? Has it ended yet? Will it end?

  5. Reply to your texts.

  6. You should do some yoga.

  7. You’ve been meaning to do some yoga haven’t you?

  8. Well you’ve been meaning to start.

  9. You will pull up the youtube video in a second.

  10. You should do some yoga today.

  11. Time is running out.

  12. What is time running out for? What were you supposed to do? Isn’t this a waste of time? Your phone, Still in bed and time is running out, time is running out, time is always running out. You can hear the clock, the slow inevitable death knell of time, it’s coming, it’s coming, it’s nearly here! Get up.

  13. Get up, it’s too late for yoga now.

  14. Reply to texts.

  15. Reply to texts, you love your friends, you do, you all are supposed to hang out today, they said they’ll text you, then you have to mark that in your planner. You’re falling behind in your planner aren’t you? Tasks are accumulating and deadlines have been missed: incompetent is the word most suited to the situation. You have to catch up to all these things soon. How did you let this happen? How could you check your phone at a time like this? How can you make plans with your friends?

  16. You should eat, it’s getting late. Breakfast!

  17. Brush your teeth as you check the fridge you should go to the dentist as soon your teeth are rotting in your mouth, you can feel them, you can feel the cavities form as the germs eat away at your teeth. They’re all going to fall out soon, is the dentist taking walk-ins? It’s too early to go to the dentist. You’re being paranoid you went just three months ago, you’re only supposed to go every six. Are you a hypochondriac? Is that what it is? You’ve never had a cavity but you can feel your teeth rot in your mouth, you’re being paranoid but this is definitely happening, you have six cavities both these things are true.

  18. You’re nearly out of food, weekend soon, you will have to go grocery shopping maybe pick up some milk too, you should really switch to soy milk, the dairy industry is terrible for those animals and also the environment. Soy tastes a bit disgusting though, maybe almond milk? You can get it in different flavours. No, then you can’t make coffee. Almond milk is so expensive though, maybe you should just become a vegan again.

  19. You should make a list of groceries you need. You can’t hop over to the store every time you need something, think of the petrol, the prices have increased and it’s also terrible for the environment, the earth is dying, the earth is dying, the earth is dying.

  20. Eat

  21. You’ve nearly run out of time weren’t these lists supposed to help? It doesn’t feel like it’s helping anyone. Do normal people need to make lists like this to go about their day? Why can’t you just do things that need to be done? It's not difficult being normal and sane, why do we have to jump through all these hoops?

  22. Text your friends.

  23. Meds, you forgot your meds, you should really do a blood test soon and check if you still need them, maybe add in some vitamins, you’ve been reading about how vitamin 'D' deficiencies are becoming increasingly common, maybe get that tested, you should also be eating more carrots as your doctor suggested but you forgot and didn’t want to.

  24. Have you started drinking water today? 2.5 litres a day that’s healthy, it helps your skin, people die due to dehydration don’t you know that? How come you haven’t started drinking your water for the day?

  25. You’re very nearly late and you’ve left a cup in the sink because you were late, you shouldn’t have snoozed the clock twice this is what happens, you didn’t need those extra 30 mins, you calculated how much time you need and didn’t follow it, you deviated from the plan and now everything’s a mess and ruined. Look what you’ve done. You’re late. And you haven’t even picked up yoga again. Tomorrow. We need to be better tomorrow.
