I also read in the morning. Right now, my morning reads include a Touch Nhat Hanh book, a sociology book on whiteness and documentary film book that overlaps with my work a lot. It may seem like a lot, but actually I do show looking so I'll read small bits each morning in the 3 after my morning pages. Usually, it's just 1 or 2 in the morning but somehow atm I have 3.
For habits, I use a bubble system to track movement, yoga or meditation, and strength training if physical therapy exercises.
I have a grid habit tracker too that I color in to promote healthy eating -- trying to focus on the rainbow...
Oh, I love the reading at breakfast idea. Right now I tend to watch news clips on YouTube, which is a depressing way to start the day and also sucks me down rabbit holes. I'm going to switch to reading.
In terms of Odysseus - have you seen the 2024 movie with Ralph Fiennes? I haven't and so can't recommend, but wonder if it does a better job with women. My hot take is that none of the Greek myths of men, told by men, will be great. Give me a feminist retelling any day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_(2024_film)
My mother-in-law occasionally passes on a kohlrabi that she's acquired in the elderly people's vegetable network. She doesn't like it much. I eat it raw in slices like carrot sticks, but a little goes a long way and each kohlrabi seems to last forever. I think I've made coleslaw with it in the past, and I think I've grated it and slipped it into whatever dish I'm making for supper.

Love eating the rainbow!

Ugh. The news for breakfast is the worst! (I do it too and it makes my start harder for sure).

I am not inspired by the FIVE I have. I might eat one raw and try roasting some. Ugh. I can't wait for the tomatoes!
Yeah, that is far too many kohlrabi all at once. I feel for you.
I haven't seen it. But I am suspect...
