There are certain questions that can be answered by the Kitzur Shulchon Oruch, so I have decided to type the entire thing onto this thread. It will take me a while as School is starting for me and I will have less and less time.
Please excuse any slight mistakes that you see in my typing but please tell me about them if you spot them.
If you do not follow the Kitzur Shulchon Oruch then you do not need to read this thread,(though I would recommend it anyways) but it should provide answers to some of the questions asked.(It may take a while until the Chapter pertaining to the question comes up if that topic is located in any of the later chapters, but I will do my best to get all of it us as quickly as possible). If you have a question that you think may be in one of the later Chapters PM me and I will try to find that topic and send you what it says there.
(I have replaced the word G-d with Hashem whenever it comes up.)

Page 3 Chapter1. The Laws Pertaining to Rising in the Morning
1. "I place Hashem before me at all times" (Psalms 16:8 ) is a major principle of the Torah and for the paths of the righteous who proceed before Hashem. The way a person lives, acts, and deals when he is alone in his home differs from his behavior when he is in the presence of a great king. Similarly, his speech and his manner of taking with his household and close circle differs from his speech and manner of talking when he is in the king's chambers. Then. he takes care that all his acts and words are correct and proper.
Surely this applies when the person becomes aware that the great King, the Holy one, blessed be He, whose "glory fills the entire world"(Isaiah 6:3) stands over him and observes his deeds, as [Jeremiah 23:24] states: " 'Can a person hide in the secret places without My seeing him,' says the Lord; 'Behold, I fill up the heavens and the earth.' " This realization should immediately1 prompt awe and humility resulting from fear of Hashem, blessed be He, and cause one to feel shame because of Him
Footnote 1: A person who is not naturally prompted to such feelings should meditate until his emotions are aroused (Shulchon Oruch HoRav II 1:4).
(Sorry I cannot do more today but I have to prepare for school tomorrow.)
