I'm more and more coming to realise that how I approach my day in the morning has a huge impact on the rest of it. If I decide to be lazy and talk shit on IRC for an hour in the morning instead of getting straight into doing the things that I need to do, this doesn't merely delay my day by one hour, instead it sets up a pattern of laziness and I have an unproductive day.

As a result of this, I'm going to try to get my morning routine down from now on.

(Alternate theory of course being rather than general laziness being caused my morning laziness, morning laziness is merely an example of general laziness, and the root cause is poor sleep or whatever, but I feel like there have been days where with coffee and a shower and getting right into productive work I've shaken off this general laziness where I otherwise wouldnt't've. Being productive -> sense of accomplishment -> motivation to be more productive)
