My Routine
On an average day, I usually wake up around 7am. I always do some stretches. Next, I have coffee and work at my desk. I usually have a quick breakfast before going outside to feed the sheep. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have class from 9-12. The other days, I do other work. I have a small business, and sometimes I need to do work for that. Often I do farm work, or I work in my house cleaning, cooking or doing other chores. I exercise every day. Sometimes I go for a walk, and sometimes I go to the gym. I never go to sleep before midnight (12am). Probably that’s a habit I need to change!
