High or Low?
What time do you wake up and what time do you have to (are supposed to) be at work?
What do you do between waking up and getting to work?
Approx, I get up at 0630 to make it to work at 0830
0630-0645 walk dog
0645-0700 prep lunch & breakfast
0700-0710 eat breakfast
0710-0730 shower, hygene, etc.
0730-0745 get dressed and odd errands / chores (empty dishwasher, make bed, gather trash)
0745 out the door to the car, arive at work at about 0825-ish
I can only imagine what females do and if you have children?
(life was so much easier when I worked on SNL, only one day a week of work)

Don't you have to do all the makeup-eee stuff and other girlee things? Eh, I'm young, I have good skin, and I work in a casual office surrounded by men. I wear makeup to weddings and funerals, not with jeans. I'm feeling pretty accomplished if I managed to grab a necklace on the way out the door.

In non freezing weather my alarm goes off at 530am and I'm in the car by 6am. I shower, pick out clothes, pack lunch and get bags ready for work at night. I am at work by 7am.
Between 530-6 I'm brushing teeth, putting on makeup, doing my hair, getting dressed, and grabbing my stuff out of the fridge for breakfast and lunch.

Nope. I'm terrible about it. I'll commit to eating a bowl of oatmeal every morning, but that seems to last a couple of weeks and I'll go back to coffee as my only morning fuel.

I'm low maintenance, and I get a lot of stuff done. It's too much a blur but it involves: getting up around 6 leaving house with daughter at 7 being into work at 730
In between is nursing and feeding daughter breakfast, sending the dog out to pee and poop, feeding the dog, dressing the kid, changing diapers, fixing her lunch, getting her dressed, getting some breakfast in her, packing lunch for me, sometimes I get dressed. I pretty much take of 100% of the child stuff, my H is pretty useless in this regard.

I actually don't set an alarm unless I have a morning meeting scheduled I work in a fairly flexible office so fortunately I can let my body wake up naturally since I am an early riser anyway. Typically I wake up somewhere between 6:30AM - 7:30AM. It takes me a 1/2 hr to get ready and around 30 mins to get to work so I am usually there somewhere between 7:30 - 8:30. I am usually the first one in the office. Most people here don't roll in until around 9:30.

Low 6:30-6:45 Wake up, let dogs out, feed them I usually watch morning tv, surf the net until 7:45 or so. Shower, dry hair, a little make up and get dressed takes about 20-30 minutes total. I try to be out the door around 8:30 most days. But, I work a flexible schedule so it doesn't really matter when I get to work.

6:35 - First alarm goes off, ambitiously. Cue multiple snoozes. 7:55 - Actually out of bed. Bathroom, weigh myself, tiny glass of juice, cigarette in my bathrobe. 8:05 - Dress. 8:15 - Makeup, hair. 8:20 - Last minute details - pull together tote bag w/ workout clothes + lunch + snacks. 8:29 - Make smoothie, put in red solo cup w/ straw. 8:33 - Wash blender, swap slippers for real shoes. 8:38-8:45 - Leave house. Drink smoothie en route. 9:00 - Morning scrum meeting starts. 8:58-9:02 - Arrive at office parking garage, walk to my building, take elevator to 10th floor. COFFEE. I'm 60% on time.
It looks much worse if I don't shower, pack tote w/ appropriate workout clothes, and make a lunch/portion snacks the night before. I'm really not a morning person. Hopefully once it warms up I can force myself to start riding my bicycle to work, in which case, I will literally just roll out of bed into comfy biking clothes, throw my prepped tote bag (work clothes, shower stuff, lunch, snacks, portable breakfast) into the basket, and go. Staging for the mornings helps me tremendously.

My start time at work is a little flexible. Thank God because I'm of the "Better late than ugly" philosophy.
Not that I'm high maintenance, I just like to sleep.
