| I had been been working for 18 hours a day (for a duration of 1 month) - this is what happened to me. 1. Woke up at 4 am - 15 minutes - planning and thinking about the schedule for the rest of the day. 2. Review the code I wrote previous day (30 mins)(though I was the only one developing this I do PRs :)(iOS mobile app - swift for front end, golang for microflow, docker, k8s and google cloud) 3. Refactor and add features for the next 2 hours. 4.Glance through NYTimes(liberal left), Fox(republic) RT, South China Morning Post, Global Times(CN), Economic Times(IN) and DW(EU) to understand where world stands. 5 Get ready for office (train 30 mins) - attend the standup - provide and listen updates - fix issues , develop features - (NodeJS & Java) 5. Thankfully all the office meetings - are scheduled only on
Mondays. 6. 5:30 leave office, get into train and reach home at 7:20 pm (walk from train station to home - 2 km approx. - and take a shower 7. Play with kids, read stories (and fight with wife :)) 8. Family prayer and got to bed. 9. On Fridays - have a beer or a glass of wine after prayer. 10. Saturday & Sunday - take children for extra curricular activities, shopping (mostly groceries and house hold items. After one month - I couldn't carry on with waking up at 4:00 am - couldn't concentrate at work - getting irritated easily etc. I switched to waking up at 6:00 am. Side projects are possible - but there is a cost :) |
