including hygienic operations, clothing commencement, and breakfast preparation/consumption, 1-1.25 hours before I'm OTD...
 
Up at 4:35, out the door by 6:10.

*Lunch packed the night before...got a lot of juggling w/ 2 dogs and my daughter. :lol: It's efficiency at it's finest. Not a minute wasted.
 
One hour

-wake up at 7am

-lay around for 5 mins

-shower 20 mins

-dry, relax, moisturize 10 mins

-make and drink smoothie for 10 mins

-pack my lunch and things for day 15 mins

-out door at 8am

I'd like to cut this down, but have not been able to.  Packing your stuff and food the night before really saves time.  Showering the night before also helps but this is iffy to me.
 
Iron the night before, so I'm usually out the house 25 mins after I wake up. I shower, get dressed, grab my stuff out the fridge, then I'm out. I eat a banana and drink a water as breakfast in the car.
 
Up at 6:00

On the terlet until about 6:10

Brush teeth, slap on some fresh deodorant (I shower at night), give myself a quick once-over with the electric razor

Get dressed, grab my stuff

Grab some fresh fruit, a packet of oatmeal, and a K-cup to take to work

Usually out the door by 06:20
 
30 mins if that.

Wake up
Shower
Brush teeth
Lotion up
Throw on pre ironed clothes
Put cologne on
Shoes on
Out the door
 
Preparation is key, for me at least.

Usual is done the night before, during down time.

Shower and collecting my things usually takes around 15 mins, total.
 
Hmm, wonder what I do to slow down myself because I wake up an hour before I need to leave and much like you guys, I preiron my clothes the night before, just shower, brush my teeth, put clothes on, grab phone and MacBook and food, and be out. I think prepacking my already prepared food might save 5 to 10 minutes just putting it in Tupperware and in a bag the night before, not sure where else I'm wasting though. Maybe I take too long of showers
 
Depends on what I'm wearing that day.

If I'm putting on a suit for work I need at least a full hour.

Just dressing casually for work and I could be out the house in a good half hour.

Up at 5:50am, shower get dressed, out the door by 6:30am, if I'm lucky, at work by 7am...

Lately I've been late a lot. Commute + traffic is hell
 
i like to take my time with breakfast/coffee and read the daily paper (NT) and whatnot so about 2 hours. 

most of that is just me relaxing though. i hate the feeling of waking up and having to go straight to work. i need to mentally prepare myself
 
I usually set my alarm for 1 hour in advance of the time I need to leave.

Ready in under 45 minutes most of the time. When I'm finished I read the news etc. before leaving. I need those extra 15 minutes of relaxation before leaving.

If I'm going somewhere in the afternoon or evening I usually spend 1 to 1.5h getting ready because I don't rush as much.

Usually on the road within 20 min after the alarm goes off, if I take a shower the previous night. Laying around after the alarm goes off means I'm going back to sleep for another two hours so I have to get up and go.
 
30 minutes for me. Brush my teeth, shower, iron, and step out. I skip breakfast and just do lunch around 11:30.
 
It takes me about 30 min. I usually prep the night before, with lunch, clothes etc. 
 
About 50 minutes.

Wear my durag on the 25 min drive to work for extra waveage.

I gotta switch up smh.....when pressed tho I can be out in 30 shower included
