- 7am
- I’m woken up early with an ambitiously set alarm. Quickly fall back to sleep.
- 8am
- Woken back up. Get mildly annoyed by breakfast radio, but continue listening as it eventually forces me out of bed.
- 9am
- After showering and cleaning my teeth, I weigh myself on my Wi-Fi scales. Fingers crossed for a low number!
- 10am
- Walking to work probably later than I should be. It’s a brief half-hour stroll, that often involves grabbing a flat white and breakfast bar from Moksha Caffè.
- 11am
- We do a daily stand-up meeting. Everybody in the office says what they did yesterday, what they plan on doing today, and if they have any blockers.
- Noon
- Working on the latest project. Always enjoyable if this involves collaborating with my colleagues.
- 1pm
- With stomach rumbling, head to a local cafe. A popular choice right now is Toast of Brighton; their Lazy Morris fish-finger sandwich is one of my favourites at the moment.
- 2pm
- Working. One or two days a week I may go swimming with my colleagues, Andy and Josh.
- 3pm
- Still working. If I’m in a particularly generous mood, I may make a round of tea!
- 4pm
- By this point, Fireworks has probably crashed five times, and is now deciding whether to do so again. If I’m working with a client in America, then now is when I would have a catch-up meeting over Skype.
- 6pm
- Finishing off the day, perhaps posting a few messages for a client in Basecamp.
- 7pm
- Walk home, earphone in, listening to whatever is my favourite album of the moment. Right now it’s Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto, but don’t hold that against me!
- 8pm
- If it’s Friday, I’ll be in the pub. Otherwise you’ll find me running at the local park, part of my preparation for next year’s Brighton Marathon – gulp!
- 9pm
- Maybe writing a blog post. Perhaps processing some holiday photos in Aperture. Even better, having dinner with friends. The personal stuff.
- 10pm
- Watching TV, catching up with RSS feeds, or replying to emails. If I’m not watching TV, perhaps watching a James Bond film instead. I’m currently going through the entire series, inspired by 5by5’s Talk Show podcast.
- 12am
- Thinking of going to bed, but probably catching up with friends in San Francisco over IM which continues for another hour or two.
- 2am
- Finally, bedtime. Wishing I had done so sooner.
