Because remember...
The simple present is used to talk about
habits and routines
It's not to talk about what we are doing right now - for that we have
thepresent continuous.
The simple present, on the other hand, talks about repeated actions: habits, frequencies,
things we do every day or a couple of times a week.
Even things you do once a year, or that you never do.
Thus, this text talks about my daily (and also weekly) routine here in Madrid, and uses

My daily routine
I usually wake up at 7 or 8 in the morning.

wake up when the sun rises.
I get up, drink a glass of water, and put some coffee on the stove.
While I have my coffee, I do some reading. I read the news online, or I read a
book. Sometimes I listen to a podcast instead of reading. I loveTim Ferriss‘
podcast, and alsoJocko Podcast.
I don’t usually have breakfast. I prefer to eat later in the day.
When I finish my coffee, I walk down to my office. I work in a coworking.
