Mon - Fri
* 0600 - 0630 -- Wake up. Coffee or Tea, either at home via Moka pot, or walk to one of the local places (depends on weather, opening, COVID, etc.). Usually a light breakfast, usually whatever is in the fridge (e.g. 1/2 cup yogurt + oatmeal, or couple slices of toast + peanutbutter, etc.)
* 0700 - 1500 (9-5 EDT). Work. Schedule varies based on projects and workflow, but usually a couple of quiet hours first thing in the morning, with tons of meetings in the afternoons (when the California crowd starts coming in to the office).
* Grab a shower anytime I can snag 15 minutes away
* 1000-1100 -- Try to get something that resembles lunch at 10-11am (12-1300 EDT), usually walk to something nearby that's open; lots more delivery these days due to COVID.
* ~1400-1500 -- Clock out of work, chill out around the house and decompress for a minute. Usually try to knock out any chores that have to be done during business hours (banking, etc.).
* 1500-1700 -- Workout / gym, depending on when I can get there. Gyms have re-opened, but require a booked time slot and are only good for 1 hour -- and that's fine, pretty much what I did pre-COVID.
* Usually hit the grocery store on the way back from the gym -- it's right next door.
* 1800-1900 -- Dinner. Try to stick to mostly protein & veg in the evenings, since lots of carbs at dinner keep me up. Maybe 1-2 alcoholic drinks depending on how I feel, but not common (maybe 1-3 drinks a week, tops).
* 1800-2200 -- Evening activities: watch netflix, putz around w/ projects, now that Steam is on Linux do some light gaming
* Aim to be in bed by 2200 (10pm), going to sleep before 2230.

Sat-Sunday
* Saturday is my busy day, wake up early for volunteer work. If that's not going on I'm usually up at 9 and putz around playing games and drinking coffee. If I didn't hang out w/ friends on Friday then usually on Saturday.
* Lazy Sundays, usually. Household chores as needed.
---
Any Day / Weekly
* No pets or kids, only plants. I water plants once a week, generally on weekends. The hydroponic systems get replenished as needed.
* Laundry on Wednesdays and Sundays, usually as needed
* Dishes usually every 2-3 days. I feel like I should be more diligent about it but usually it's a couple days at a stretch until I can't stand looking at it.
* Try to do yard work at least once or twice a month on weekends
* Try to get to the shooting range once a month when the weather permits; hunting and processing game as needed during the appropriate seasons.
* Usually trips to the mountains / parks during summer and shoulder seasons; skiing and skating during the winter. Usually try for once a month, sometimes more. Got a kayak a few months back and have been on the lake every week this summer
* Try to fly out to visit the family at least once or twice a year. Skype/Hangouts call w/ the fam usually every week or every other week. COVID has changed this -- no travel this year, me thinks -- but still doing the skype calls.
