Remote workers walk me through the first 30 minutes of your workday

Genuine question. I'm trying to understand how remote teams actually start their day.

When you open your laptop in the morning:

→ What do you check first? → How many unread messages/notifications are waiting? → How long before you start "real work"? → Do you feel caught up or behind?

I'm researching remote work communication patterns. Not promoting anything. Just genuinely curious how people experience this.
