it's Wednesday April 1st and my daily routine has been a bit different
recently it became call it going from my bedroom to my living room to my kitchen
back to my living room back to my kitchen a routine at all but hey I'm not
complaining staying safe at home hasn't been bad at all
let me just show you guys what I've been up to for some idiotic reason I haven't
been able to sleep too early so I've been waking up later this morning
I set an alarm to about 8:30 a.m. since recently the first thing I do when I
wake up is check the news since things lately seem to be changing every other
second my go to resources are usually CNN or reddit after my daily dose of
paranoia I get up and start the day
first things first my morning routine
you know the typical stuff brushing my teeth mouthwash and usually I would just
rinse my face with water because I am going to work out soon and take a shower
life has definitely felt a bit chaotic lately but some of my daily habits have
kept me grounded I make sure to read at least 30 minutes a day and recently I've
been into reading more fictional or non-fictional stories rather than
mindset books I love how reading can take you to a
completely different space give you a whole new perspective of things like my
mom always told me growing up books are my best friend
next I check my emails and work messages and I update my planner for the day
usually I'm just setting my daily goals and writing anything else that's on my
to-do list I also try to make it a habit to read my affirmations every morning
you know for some good luck then I get to working out but I need my daily
serving of amazing grass first I have been drinking this stuff for years now
and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon
it contains matcha which gives me the energy I need to start my day but also
contains my daily greens so that I get that extra dose of nutrition
since quarantine has started I have mainly been either doing online
high-intensity interval training classes or running outside these classes are no
joke thy are only 31 minutes long but since they are a hiit class I am usually
sweating so much afterwards and pretty much out of breath
then I will hop into the shower exfoliate my face and whatever else I
need to do to complete my morning routine and then comes my favorite part
breakfast today I will make a basic but delicious avocado toast with sprouted
grain bread then I will start working even though I haven't been going into
the office I still have a lot of work to do which has really helped make time go
by a lot faster and as you can already tell I have no real computer desk or
extra monitor or any kind of setup really usually my work space varies
between a couch my bed or the coffee table which by the way also subs as my
dining table versatility at its finest I still have work meetings here and
there and all of them are done through Google Hangouts I use vs code for my
code editor and right now I am working with vueJS to add some new UI changes to
our website I am also working on a reusable components library for the next
version of our website which is pretty exciting because that means there will
be more consistency and less code sometimes I will get really into coding
and not even realize how much time has gone by
and of course I can't stay in my loungewear all day or I'll really feel
like a bum I also have a few upcoming meetings so at least I don't want my
co-workers to think I am one and yep this is usually how my days go by
working on different spots on my couch usually I will go and grab something to
eat and bother Theo while I'm at it then maybe I will go and bother butters
instead or take him on a walk
sometimes I will get up and stretch which is super important to do regularly
throughout the day especially if you're always on the computer and even more
especially if you don't actually have a chair and desk to work on I
unfortunately don't always remember to do this especially if I'm super focused
on completing something I know I know ergonomic red flags everywhere I start
finishing my work around 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. and will take butters on a walk
afterwards to get that breath of fresh air dinnertime is probably one of the
most exciting parts about my quarantine days I just felt like making something
very basic but nutritious Japanese curry is my go-to when I'm feeling lazy but
also wants to feel healthy very contradictory I know I have been trying
to eat less meat so I decided to just put carrots and potatoes in my curry
which means are pretty much just need four ingredients to complete this meal
usually I only eat brown rice but since we have so much leftover white rice
because Theo loves his white rice I decided to just warm that up instead
because I'm lazy and if I have any leftover potatoes or carrots
I usually just season them and stick them in the airfryer they come out so
crispy and delicious
even though I've been stuck at home all day I usually try not to watch anything
until dinnertime right now I am in the middle of watching the infamous tiger
King I'm sure most of you have heard about this show already if not on
Netflix then all the memes that have been circulating around after a little
dinner break I will work on some side projects like this YouTube channel or
this online jewelry store that I've been working on it's not launched yet because
I decide to wait for all this craziness to first pass but you guys should
definitely check it out once it does I will link the information in a
description page if you're interested and yep that sums up how my quarantine
work from home days have been like time to get ready for bed and do it all over
again I will admit it has been a bit hard to
get into a routine especially with the outside world rapidly changing every day
and I think it's fine if you don't really have one right now just staying
safe inside and doing what you can is enough at least that's what I tell
myself when I find myself stuck in bed for the entire day anyway thank you guys
so much for watching and I'll see you guys next time bye
take care
