Overthinking It: A Monday Morning Routine Guide

Step 1: Wake up, panic, repeat.

It's 6:00 AM, you're already 5 minutes behind schedule. The world is ending, the cat is judging you, and the toast is still not done. Don't worry, you can do it. Repeat, you can do it. Overthinking, overplanning, overreheating that cold cup of coffee.

Step 2: Check your phone, check your email, check your cat.

While you were sleeping, the world moved on. Someone liked your tweet, someone else unfollowed you, and someone's cat is having a worse day than you are. Scroll, swipe, tap, and regret.

Step 3: Eat a bowl of regret, with a side of anxiety.

Breakfast, the most overthought meal of the day. Will you have oatmeal, will you have eggs, will you have both and question your life choices? The possibilities are endless, and so are the calories.

Step 4: Shower, but not too long, because time is of the essence.

Water temperature, soap suds, the existential crisis that is showering. Too long, you'll be late. Too short, you'll be a prune. Find the sweet spot, and pray the water doesn't turn to steam.
