Every morning when I arrive to work at Enquiro(around 8,8:30ish) I like following a routine I have established. I am paid to write and keep on top of the latest news in the SEM world so no matter what I have on my plate for that day, I have to do the following:
1) Login to Gmail, check to see if I have to moderate any comments for my blog. Lately I have noticed a lot more spam than normal. I often get emails from various companies asking me to check out their latest products (i.e. Adisem this week.)
2) Check out Technorati to see how my blog is doing in terms of Technorati Rank. I also observe how Enquiro’s SearchEnginePosition.com blog is doing as well.
3) Go to my FeedBurner account to check out the latests subscriber metrics for my blog. Lately I am really enjoying the extra stats FeedBurner has started to Offer.
4) Then I need to know my blog’s performance from the previous day, therefore I go to my Google Analytics and StatCounter accounts.
5) I login to Enquiro’s Omniture SiteCatalyst account to get an understanding of how our latest articles are performing.
6) I read some of my favorite SEM news sites: WebProNews, SEOMoz, TopRankBlog, Occam’s Razor as well some of my colleagues’ blogs: Out of my Gord and SEO Space
I sometimes Blog in the morning but otherwise thats the just of it!
Your routine is very similar to mine. I do pretty much everything you listed, except I don’t have SiteCatalyst account, but I have had the chance to try it out before. However, I may go about things in a more haphazard way. I may be working when all of a sudden I realize I haven’t checked gmail in a while(a couple hours), so I go check it. Same thing for statcounter, reading blogs, etc.
