These days, I don't do much to get ready in the morning since I work from home. But back when I went to an office, I used to get up at 6:50 in order to make sure I could leave my apartment by 8:00. The length of my morning routine then: An hour and 10 minutes.
Now it's more like 10 minutes total since I really just brush my teeth and hair, get dressed and get to work.
What about you? How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? A half hour? Are you a 10-minute girl? Do you like to take your time and stretch it out over a couple of hours while you watch your favorite morning show? Are you taking less time these days in order to sleep in longer?
Oh, and here are a couple of related questions: What time do you usually go to bed? And how long does it take you to shower?
