Topic: Daily routine

❓When do you wake up?

Well, I’m a morning riser, and I wake up at about 5 o’clock. Getting up early not only makes me feel refreshed and productive, but it also prevents my skin from having wrinkles.

❓What is your daily routine?

Well, in the morning, I get up early to have a light breakfast and hit the gym at about 8 a.m. After one hour of workout, I leave the gym club and go to the supermarket to buy food to prepare lunch and dinner. In the afternoon and evening, I go to my workplace and start working from 14.00 pm until 21.00.p.m.

❓ What part of the day do you like most?

I enjoy late night when I come home from work, and everything is filled with dim grey light. To me, it’s a great time to kick back on the bed to have a chit-chat with my sisters, surf the Internet, listen to music, or watch a favourite movie.

❓Do you think it is important to have a daily routine?

Yes, it is. A proper daily routine will help you arrange your activities in the most sensible way. Without a daily routine, people usually do things spontaneously, which could waste their time and reduce their work efficiency. I think those who are disorganized can gain more benefits from creating a daily routine.

❓What’s the difference of routine between you and your teenager’s times?

Well, I can say that there’s a vast difference between my life then and my present life. You know, when I was a teenager, besides focusing on study, I had much free time to pursue my interests like watching films or listening to music. In contrast, my routine and time management has become stricter now. Since I graduated from university and began working as an English teacher, I’m so occupied with my work that I have little leisure time.

❓What is the busiest part of the day for you?

Afternoons are the busiest time of the day for me. I work for an UK company and my day starts at 2:00 PM. So, by 3:00PM I will be bombarded with client calls and emails and will have no time to breathe.

❓Do you usually have the same routine every day? (or) Do you usually do the same things at the same time each day?

Mostly yes. I’m an early bird though I go late to bed. On weekdays, my work starts at 2:00 PM and I wind up by 11:00 PM. On weekends, I go shopping and sleep a little early. I follow this schedule every week and there aren’t any major changes unless we have celebrations.

❓Have you ever changed your routine?

Yes, it underwent a change about a month ago. I had a very tight schedule and was struggling to manage my targets. So, I had to work late until 2:00 AM.

❓What would you like to change in your daily routine?

My work starts at 2:00 PM. So, I laze around until then. I want to use that time productively. Some of my friends go to the gym and I would like to start an exercise regime as well.

❓ Do you like to plan what you will do each day?

Yes, I would like to. Planning keeps the day in your control. The more organized you are, the better your life becomes. I’m pretty orderly at work and I want to be the same way in my other activities as well.

❓ What do you usually do at this time of day?

[Assuming it is morning] It is 10:30 AM now. You can find me watching television or reading a magazine. Sometimes I go out and talk to my friends.

❓How do you organize your study time?

I’m pursuing a course in Management along with my work. I usually study on the weekends because I want an entire day to myself. I don’t study on weekdays as it becomes stressful.
