Upgrade Your Morning Routine

For some time I've been having trouble getting going each day. I used to be an 'up-with-the-lark' person - out with the dogs before 8.30., but, since MWNN retired ten years ago, my routine has been gradually eroded by the 'night owl'.

I need a new routine to kick start my day. Perhaps some of these tips might help? Mind you, 'get up early' must surely be preceded by 'go to sleep before midnight' to work?
