My typical day starts with checking my emails, but first: coffee. We do a ton of automation/integration work, so my first order of business is to check for any alerts.

After that, I go through any new email, and flag anything that will require my attention or a followup.

Once I'm done with the emails, I build a list of stuff that needs to get done. This includes any of the flagged emails, and any important bug fixes. I'm a single programmer supporting 100+ applications/integrations/automations, so there's always something broken or that has a new requirement.

Finally, once all fires have been put out, I can focus on my current project(s). I work on these until more fires break out, at which time I need to drop what I'm doing to put them out. Welcome to my personal hell ;)
