What is your daily routine?

What is your daily routine?

Do you dive straight into work, do you plan time for self-study or side projects, how do you relax and re-charge away from work?

Be sure to note whether you work in a traditional office setting, or whether you work remotely.

I'm a QA Analyst working remotely in sunny (today, anyway) Chicago, IL!

• 6:50am: alarm goes off.
• 7:00am: start working. I spend the first hour in support, responding to member emails and inquiries
• 8:00am-10:00am: meetings, support bug triage, logging in Github, testing existing bugs or testing new products. In a perfect world I'd be able to turn off notifications and dive in to specific activities, but in reality there are lots of meetings that start as soon as I'm in the flow or questions about how things work or jokes I absolutely must share right now.
• ~10:00ish: morning walk. I try to do roughly a 3k lap around the park (while playing Pokemon Go)
• after walk, I revisit support triage for anything that came in during the morning, and continue on whatever I was working on earlier
• anywhere from noon-2pm: lunch break, where I usually take a longer walk (5-7k)
• 3:00: sign off for the day, work on personal projects for a bit or go to the pool!

After 8 years of working in an office I managed to become a freelancer, nowadays I work 4 to 5 hours per day remotely, once a week I go to my main customer's office.

Usually I work from home and once a month I work in a coworking space located at 30 minutes from home by bus just to change a little bit my environment.

As I'm currently finishing my engineer degree I study from 7 to 11, then I work from 12 to 16hs and then I go to my university (yes we have classes from 19 to 22hs in Buenos Aires).

Twice a week I train doing some calisthenics at night since those days I don't have classes.

I usually change my routine twice a year if something is not working, I think it's important to review how we do things once in a while to improve it.

I'm noticing a pattern. Everyone starts their day by waking up.
Maybe that's where I've been going wrong.

I work remotely, and having a dedicated routine has greatly improved my work ability.

1. Wake up around 8:00
2. Catch up on Twitter, Dev, News, and Email on my phone while waking up
3. Shower, shave, etc.
4. Breakfast and make tea
5. Finish the tea while reading any emails that needed more interaction than I wanted to do from my phone
6. Work until lunch on the most important task(s)
7. Lunch around 12 or 1 depending on the day
8. Work until I've run out of focus energy, sometimes 4 and sometimes 8, usually around 5-6
9. Dinner
10. Beat Saber for cardio 😎
11. Read while laying in bed

Side note: currently re-reading Clean Code, read it if you haven't! It's a must-read for devs.

I work in a standard open office. Most days:

1. Wake up around 5am a. Sometimes workout + protein shake b. Sometimes tidy house + cook oatmeal
2. Get ready
3. Head into the office. I’m usually there by 7am ^ coffee is usually in one of the 3 steps above depending on how I’m feeling
4. The actual workday varies between code and 1:1s and pairing sessions. Sometimes I go to lunch with coworkers. Other days I eat at my desk but I’ve been trying to limit that.
5. I leave the office around 3:45 or 4 on a good day
6. If I haven’t worked out in the morning I might go to the gym
7. Cook dinner - I love cooking things from scratch!
8. Watch tv with partner
9. Get a bit of reading in
10. Sleep! Ideally this happens by 9 and definitely before 10.

8. Riding my motorcycle
9. Cleaning the motorcycle once I'm back
10. Gaming
11. Dinner
12. TV shows

When I say Dev.to it means reading all the awesome articles here and learning new things by practicing.

I wake at 5:40, catch the 6:03 bus, arrive at 7:12, eat a bowl of cereal, then get about an hour of golden time to myself in the office.

We eat around noon, usually a salad. Most Thursdays I treat myself to chicken skewers in a laffa.

I leave at 16:30 and get home between 18:00 and 18:30, depending on traffic. I'm really hoping the fast train to Jerusalem gets extended all the way to Tel Aviv soon.

I get about an hour with the kids, then maybe we'll read or watch some cooking shows on YouTube, or I'll help sometimes with the chores.

Then Shabbat rolls around and it's just eating together and spending time with one another ❤️
