Lot of curious people usually ask me what I do in my leisure time. What is my schedule on weekdays? Does it change on weekends? What about holidays? The answer is too generic. I usually say I sleep a lot, watched movies, some series or worked on side projects.

But that is not all. There are minor variations in my schedule depending on my mood. I know that most of the time it is just for small talk and people aren't interested in what you did in your free time.

With the possibility of being labelled as a narcissistic, I am outlining my regular schedule below. I have made 3 categories. Regular weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Things may change, but for 90% of part it remains the same unless I am not well.

Weekdays

  1. Wake up at 6
  2. Get Ready by 6:30
  3. Spend 6:30 to 7:00 outlining personal goals for week.
  4. Blogs to write
