Pomodoros = a productivity technique I use when I'm working. Currently I'm learning algorithms as I apply for programming jobs.

09:00 - wake up via alarm and hit snooze

09:40 - actually wake up -> check internet stuff

10:00 - get out of bed and start doing pomodoros

11:00 - make smoothie and drink it while continuing pomodoros

11:30 - do pushups -> continue pomodoros

12:30 - lunch

01:30 - pomodoros (usually get interrupted with something)

05:00 - gym

06:30 - shower, surf web

07:00 - dinner, watch a little tv

08:30 - more pomodoros, or watch move/socialize

12:00 - lights out, listen to podcast/watch tv until I'm sleepy

01:00 - sleep

Really, this is the best case scenario.

* In practice, I often sleep later. And I often try to go to be earlier but end up lying in bed for too long trying to go to sleep.

* And somehow my meals end up taking forever. I'm a really slow eater, and apparently a slow cooker also. Plus I like to relax and watch a little TV after I finish.

* Often times I'm interrupted with stuff. Today I had to shovel the driveway. Tomorrow I have to go to the doctor.
