Mike Bird has posted his
daily routine... I thought I'd do the same. I think this speaks for itself.
6.55 Radio turns on. Lies in bed for half an hour listening to the news and morning, talking to my wife if she is conscious. Pondering what the day will hold.
7.30 gets up, gets dressed, eats breakfast and reads the paper.
8.30 gets on bus. I read theology on the bus that is not related to my PhD.
9.15 at work. Checks e-mail, reads some blogs, checks some internet news pages. Start "working"
10 -10.30/10.45 Tea Break. If something interesting is discussed, might be even longer.
10.30/10.45 - 11.15 Work.
11.15 - 12.30 or longer Lunch. I make it a point never to do less than an hour of lunch. I consider this the most important part of the day. Lunch discussions are on of my main sources of inspiration for work and life. I consider long lunches my most important counter-cultural activity.
12.30-15 Work. I usually need a break at some point here, maybe to go to the library or just surf the net.
15-15.30 Tea break. If work has been good - longer break.
15.30-16.15 Work. Usually ends with ten minutes or so of doing whatever feels interesting at the moment, reading articles on the net and so on.
16.15 - 17 Bus home. More reading.
Evenings consist of Karate practice 2-3 times a week, Band practice now and then, whatever extra projects I have going on. If my wife and I are both at home, we try to spend time together. No tv. Some blogging perhaps. In summer garden work.
In bed by ten. Asleep by eleven. That hour can be spent in different ways.
I have been constantly ahead of schedule on my PhD project. I consider myself to be very disciplined. People just work too much.
