[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always taken 20 mins to eat my breakfast and read something, basically my whole life, but honestly, it's almost always on the clock since I entered the working world. I get to work, I check email/slack/whatever, make sure nothing's on fire, then I sit and read the paper and eat my breakfast. It's usually something grab-and-go.

I would also say that while I've had a variety of jobs with a variety of levels of busy and a variety of numbers of hours in the week - my industry tends to get rolling later. So it's never been a big deal to take 20 first thing, even when I was working 60+ hours a week and was busy all the time.

If I wanted to do it before work, I'd just have to get up before the kids. My kids are way younger than yours, but need lots of hands on help in the morning. They're up at 7:30. As it stands now, I'm up at 7:20 cause I can get ready in 10 mins. If I wanted to eat breakfast and read, I'd just have to wake up at 7 (which I'm not willing to do).

This feels very manageable just because mornings are generally so predictable. Just get up 20 mins earlier and eat breakfast? What are these things that are "throwing off the experience"?[/quote]
