Its 3.30 am and i just rounded up my Js tutorials on team treehouse. I have a very busy day ahead plus I’m still trying to adjust to the 9-5 life after the switch.
Been learning to follow a scheduled path on my daily activities and so far its been kinda ok. My supposed schedule for today Monday (lundi) goes like this;
- 7am:get out of bed, have a shower.
- 7.30 am: fetch breakfast.
- 8.am: The great decision of what to wear to the office (i might just use shorts but it’s a Monday.)
- 8.30 am: Get on transit to work
- 8.55am: Sign in at work.
- 9- 12pm: Start implementing the UI for hire-talentz chat box/messaging.
- 12pm-12.30: lunch break.
- 12.45 – 1.45: review interns work and ensures he doesn’t break anything.
- 2-4.pm: Ensure our new header navigation layout is at least 50% ready.
- 4-4.45pm: Review everyone’s submission for the day before forwarding to project lead.
- 5pm: Close for the day n head home..
At least that’s how i thought it would go, but here’s how it really went;
- 7.am: Alarm rings, and I ignore.
- 7.05 am: Alarm rings again and i almost snoozed it.
- 7.10am: Sat on the bed staring into space wishing I could sleep some more.
- 7.30am: While sitting I get an urgent call that something would be needed in the office, which meant I had to use the ATM on my way there.
- 8.07am: Stepped out of the bathroom in a confused state, just remembered I didn’t get my sleeves ironed.. uhmm who cares anyway.
- 8.23am: Got to the ATM and the crowd there was like a scene from the Exodus.
- 8.45am: Realised I’ll be here for at least 30 more minutes, called a friend and asked for cash while I made a transfer to him. Sorted that in about ten mins and headed to the office..
- 9.45am: started working on HireTalentz UI.
- 10.38am: Lebelle Ami buzzed about a bug she needed help with..
- 11.20am: Still battling the bug, (die bug dieeee, sprays figurative Mortein).
- 11.40am: Fixed bug..and resumed my work.
- 12 noon: Lunch break( or should I say brunch break because I skipped breakfast).
- 12.20pm: Vet showed up and needed some help with the guard dogs.
- 1.pm: Still helping with the guard dogs and getting my clothes messed up while at it..
- Some time around 2pm tries to push to git..
Error here… (F*******k) - 2.30pm: Fixed error. and started implementing our new header design.
- 2.45pm: My intern(my kylo-ren) encounters a js bug, I let him go at it for a bit
- 3.15pm: I stepped in like a boss and made it worse..??.
- 3.21pm: Fixed..
- 4.pm: Damn this header is nowhere near 50%.
- 4.45pm: Makes final commits for the day, review everyone’s submission and rounded up for the day..
- 5.19pm: On transit home.
- 5.30- 6pm: Lazying about
- 6:08pm: OMG i have a blog post to complete…
Lol this was fun to read.
thanks..glad u liked
What a crazy Monday you had? ??lol. Sometimes, unexpected events makes it difficult for us to achieve 100% of our daily to do list. But at least you got almost 90% done today ?? I really enjoyed reading this your article. I could relate to “7:10am” cos it happens alot to me ? “3:15pm” got me laughing hard. “6:08pm” got me feeling ?. Like seriously, I never thought you wrote this beautiful piece this evening. How you managed to do it inspite of your busy schedule beats me. Weldone bro. ? I think I’ll be visiting here more often now, to enjoy more of your awesome articles ? Say me well to Gigi Hadid ?? #KeepWinningChamp
Gigi says hi.. woof…glad you liked it Sir
It’s really a nice crafted article. Learnt from it. Time management is a skill developers should acquire
Yes its a very important habit to develop..
It’s nice. The breaking dawn’s really something we battle with.
Yeah bro..we all do
Oh..! what a day!
‘I stepped in like a boss and made it worse.’ — this cracked me up
Nice write up sir.
Thanks boss..I’m glad you liked it..you know that feeling when your younger one’s quantitative reasoning assignment makes you question your university degree..lol
Got me interested in your way of scheduling your daily activities..Nice one. It was fun reading.
Thanks..glad you enjoyed it.. yeah scheduling helps me beat procrastination
Stop writing code na and come and be writing stories. 😀
Hahaha..stories about linux abi.
Nice!!
I can relate,Sat on the bed staring into space wishing I could sleep some more. This is me lol
Lol.. we are on the same boat.
Interesting read. Developer time table needs a padding of 48hrs for every task coz you must hit a blocker. Show stoppers are real. No matter how experienced you are you must hit it.. (at least once in a while).
From frameworks to environmental issues, from third-party integtations to minor configuration issues.
The part that got me ? was 7am (wake up), what? Damn! I can’t try that in Lagos. I wake up 430am Mondays and 5am Tue-Fri. Anything short of that means you get to the office by 10am (query already awaits [not sql]..)
Nice article..
Haha..lagos is stressful men..it takes me 20mins max on transit to get to work..
That’s not much time,some people spend an hour n more,like those coming from Ogun state in Lagos just for work.
yeah its pretty fast for me..
Sometimes the hours are not enough.. I can totally relate. Especially when working on someone else’s time, you barely have time for you.
Yeah 24 hrs is never enough
Was really nice… you doing great boss
Thanks for the read
??… You had a productive day then. All I had to do today was finish up a proposal. The only thing I have sorted now is the title (which I just realized have to be changed) ??♂️??♂️….. Somedays….
Nice post bro. Excellent ??
lol.. sorry about that.
Nice
Your Intern Kylo-Ren.
I see.
So who is the Boss
Vader or Sidius
Lol i named my workstation vader..
