So interesting to read about everyone’s schedule. 🙂

Living the “corporate” life my weeks look pretty boring, I get up between 6-7am depending on whether I’m going to the office or not (covid has been so hard on us but I’m forever grateful it made my employer introduce the possibility of working from home and even now that most of the restrictions are gone here in Europe, we still get to do that). I let my dog out, get ready and leave (or make coffee and start my laptop, haha). My drive to and from work takes about 20 to 50 minutes, depending on how busy it is on the road… So I usually arrive at the office between 8-9am and leave again between 5-6pm (unless I have some big project going or other deadline right around the corner, then I tend to work longer days).

After work I run errands, cook dinner, take my dog for a (longer) walk, do yoga, watch Netflix, maybe meet my friends, … I’d definitely need to exercise more but nothing interests me right now besides yoga and walking?

I usually go to bed around 10pm because like you, I like to read for an hour before actually sleeping. It just brings my mind at ease. 🙂

So simple and concise – I love that you prioritize and balance (or try to!) social life and self-care with work, it’s so important. Would love to see more blog posts like this!!

I am so jealous of your morning person ways! I was making progress last year but then I met my boyfriend and he lives on the west coast so I stay up late talking to him.

Haha. I don’t eat much right away. Coffee, maybe green juice if I’ve made it. An hour before my workout (usually 10) I have a banana. And then after my workout (usually 12) I have a big breakfast/lunch with at least 20 grams of protein. Sometimes its a Daves Killer Bread bagel w/cottage cheese, other times it is 3 eggs and toast, other times, a container of greek yogurt + some fruit!

I loved reading yours! I don’t know why, it really is so interesting though!
With you about it being hard getting out of bed.

YES! I initially felt guilty but then thought better of that with all the other stuff we have to deal with as self employed people (taxes, healthcare, ETC!) xo

It’s my absolute favorite perk of being self employed. I also like to do my laundry at this time and grocery store runs. Need to get better about shutting it off at night as I write this at 10pm… and have my laptop in my lap while I get some work done.

xo Jessica
an indigo day
