Morning Routines and Debug Logs

I wake up at 6:30 most mornings. Not because I’m a morning person — I’m absolutely not — but because the quiet hour before work starts is sacred.

Coffee first, always. A simple pour-over while I look out the window. Then twenty minutes of reading, usually something completely unrelated to tech. Lately it’s been poetry.

By 8am I’m at my desk, scanning the overnight tickets. There’s a rhythm to it: prioritise, categorise, caffeinate. The first hour sets the tone for the whole day.

I’ve found that having a routine isn’t about rigidity. It’s about creating a foundation solid enough that the chaos of the day can’t shake you. And in support, there’s always chaos.
