My daily routine during the pandemic.

More time for Netflix, more time to sleep, more time to reflect, but less time to exercise. I am done watching all sorts of motivational Youtube videos from how to improve yourself to cleaning motivation. I am also watching all sorts of 15 mins workout videos without even doing them. 

This has been my life for the past weeks.

Although I still consider myself as lucky since I am doing my internship program this season that keeps me busy.. well sometimes. Before the pandemic and the quarantine season, I am living the most productive life ever. I go wake up at 7am to prepare for work, leave at 8am to catch the train at 8:30, work for hours from 9am to 6pm, directly go to the gym after work, eat dinner after the gym, and pack lunch for work the next day. Wow, right?

It was very tiring in the first few weeks, but I got used to it and I feel great! 

But then the pandemic comes, where we are asked to work from home. My very productive routine shattered and it goes from 99% productivity to 2%. 

I now wake up at 9:50, catch the daily virtual meeting at 10am, sleep again after the meeting, wake up and start work after 20 minutes, cook lunch at 12:30 (which supposed to be at 1), often end work at 3pm, eat dinner, use phone until 5am, and the routine continues. 

Trust me, I'm not happy about it. I am the kind of person who wants things to be done, but if I lack motivation, it's not going to happen. Like this work from home thing. I have tried a few times to get back on track, but still, I get lazy and just fuck it off. 

I guess we are just too used for the motivation to land in front of us without even working on it. And I know I am not alone on this. We are so used for people, for our work to be the stimuli for us to respond, go to work, and to actually work. We are used to our homes to be our comfort place, a place to chill, and outside our work. 

For now, I am on the process of actually getting my shit together. Be an adult and actually face and do my best in everything that I have right now. Every day of our lives is an opportunity, a chance for us to make small changes that lead us to be great at what we do.
