WORK MODE

9:00 am: read and respond to emails. Once that is done, I spend 2 good hours to finish some pending projects.
11:00 am: Iced coffee time! I report to my manager about the projects I'm doing, then make revision if needed.

Usually I have 1 or 2 meetings, making sure that I have all the copy from the writers and I am meeting the deadlines.

12:15 pm: 45 minutes lunch break! I sometimes grab to-go lunch and eat at my desk. But when it's warm outside, I eat at the office porch.

1:00 pm - 5:30 pm: Time to do more design work.

3:00 pm: popcorn time at work.

5:50 pm: Home at last. I usually play music and catch up with some personal emails. Check design blogs, friend's posts, watch funny videos of dogs and cats.

7:00 pm: Dinner time. I mostly cook if I'm not tired or order delivery - sometimes Chinese or Thai food.

8:00 pm I start watching my TV shows. Every night I watch about 3 or 4 different series.
