Let's compile an extensive mega thread outlining our daily routine and how a typical days looks like in our life, from rising to the bed to hitting it.
This will give us valuable insights into our individual productivity and accordingly we can introspect in our routine thus we can improve, regardless of our roles, whether you're a student, academician, independent practitioner, A0 till the partner.
I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
5 AM - wakeup (I follow 4 day Gym schedule, 3 workdays and 1 sunday - on non-gym days, I start at 6-630 typically)
5-515 AM - Make bed, warm water, sit on the sofa, just relax and stretch once water is done
515-535 AM - Guided meditation using one of the apps (I started with youtube, you can try Goodful on Youtube for free).
Till 6: relax and get ready for gym
6-7 AM: Gym in the building, workout for 40 Mins. Catchup with buddies. Will check phone at this point.
7-8 AM: come home, close any urgent items, if none, will take vitamins, catchup on twitter and news.
8-9 AM: Breakfast and ready for work.
Without fail, start work at 9 AM with a to-do list in first 10 mins with order of priority & and probable timesheets in next 10 mins, remember it is fine if the day is not going according to the plan.
12 Noon - get lunch. No matter what.
3-5 PM - Fruits and whatever is available.
9 PM - Log off from work typically and get done with dinner, re-evaluate todo list, catchup with social media & speak to closed ones
10-11 PM - Catchup - on more work, close out TS, watch TV, hangout with friends, as per the demand of life and profession. Try to be on bed by 11:30 max.
This is my ideal day. Often, this is supported by working on Saturdays. Many times, during pressure events and deadlines / commitments to family, friends, etc., this does not get executed time to time. That is fine, as long as I make it on most days.
You have to make a plan and stick to it to make the most in this profession. With discipline - if you are ambitious. That is the only way you will realise your efficiency and talent. At the same time ensure that you create carveouts for friends, family and other closed ones.
