On an ideal schedule, we'd rise at dawn after eight blissful hours of sleep and participate in some meditation and light yoga before leisurely preparing for the day. In reality, we're often plotting our getting-ready routine down to the second, putting a mobile Starbucks order in as we swipe on lipgloss in the rearview mirror.
