Things have been quiet here. I've got a routine and it's working for me.
6ish, I wake up. I work out or run. I meditate for a few minutes. Then I have coffee and start planning the day. What are the most important things on my plate, and what are the next steps? What meetings do I have? What prep needs to be done? What do I need to review? Who am I having 1:1's with? What should we discuss? What should I do in the few open slots that I have between meetings? What do I need to follow up on?
Workday starts between 8:30 and 9:00. The mornings will go by quickly. Lately I've been booked through lunch, so I'll grab something quickly and eat during the noon call.
Then the afternoon starts. I have fewer meetings in the afternoon, so I can usually get some other work done then, writing, paperwork, who knows.
I try to schedule 1:1's at 4pm.
At 5pm I curate. I go through all my email, my notes and my work notifications then either delete, deal with them, or book time if the item needs real work. I'll double check any future commitments and make sure I know the next steps.
Some times I'm done by 5:05. Others I'm not done till 6:00
The Husband and my brother-in-law respect my day. They can tell that I'm very engaged with my job. The husband has mentioned that he doesn't like that I am sitting at a desk all day. With the pandemic, his job is in make-work mode. He has more free time. I am a little jealous.
Really though, I am happy that I have a great paying job in the middle of a crisis.
I'm pretty drained by the end of the day. The husband and I will have dinner. Maybe watch some TV.
8ish I'll have a cocktail. I don't drink a lot, so I make a good cocktail. I take out the necessary bar equipment. Measure and mix everything. Pour in a good glass and clean up.
Lately I've been having martini's with Aviator Gin. Before that it was Manhattans with nice Canadian whisky.
Then I'll read, or maybe I'll work on a puzzle with the husband.
In bed, lights out by 9:30pm. Gotta get my sleep for the next day.

Tis Sounds like Working from Home is sitting in a good routine....
I know y'all have it together up there in the NorthWest.... which is very important these days.... Having it together..
It's something to be admired... even y'all's govt has it together... something I can't say on the National Scene. ..
Wishes Y'all well .... and Staying that way.
You sound like you have a good routine going. I do too. The only part I dislike is the sitting behind the desk working. I would rather be creating but my paycheck is still coming so I need to work.
