I recently discover that I’m a huge routine person. I’m not even sure if I have always been a routine type of person, and now just realizing it or is it me getting older or is it because I am dating someone who loves a good routine so I adapted to that. Either way, I am all about it now.
This is how my current daily routine looks like (Monday-Friday):
~7AM: Wake up and lay in bed. I started journaling sometime last month so I’ve been writing my AM portion at this time. The journal that inspired me to do this could be found here. I personally didn’t want to pay $30, and have notebooks laying around the house so I’m using my own instead, and hand-writing the same 5 questions/statements everyday.
~8AM: Make breakfast (usually only for P, as I’m not a huge breakfast person) and hit the home-gym.
~9AM: Head to work or work from home. I work in a lab, so going in at least once everyday is a must. But occasionally, the task I need to get done doesn’t require the full 8 hours, and I’ll do half work from home, and half work from office/lab.
~5PM: Start making dinner. Every Sunday, I write down in my notes of the meals to make that week. This year, I am really trying (and actually doing a decent job at) making sure the meal ingredients work with each day so we are wasting less/nothing.
~6PM: Dinner. Funny how this time never changes and if it does, I’ll let P know if we are running early/late for dinner. But every other day, he still manages to ask me “what time will dinner be?” lol. We usually would eat dinner at the dinner table and not watch tv at the same time, but ever since we started working on the kitchen renovation and the light above the dining table is currently not working, we have been eating and watching tv. We are currently watching Malcolm in the Middle or Demon Slayer.
~6:30PM – 7:30PM: Neighborhood walk or alone time. This is the part where either P would do a neighborhood walk or where P and I like to do separate things. He’s usually playing computer games, and I’m all over the place – Laundry, tidying up the house, facetiming family/friends, or now – I’ll be working on my blog 🙂
~7:30PM: Game night or movie night. We are currently more into game nights and the two recent games we just purchased this week are Codenames Duet and Pandemic. These two games are the first games we bought that are co-op and we are very much enjoying it. I know that Codenames (original version) – you are playing against the other player/team. The duet version – you are playing to win with the other player/team.
~8:30PM: P and I are usually laying in bed and chit chatting. We either would play an episode or two of a show, or using our phone. This is the time we also play Wordle together and I write in my PM portion of the journal.
Goodnight World.
