>wake up, usually around noon or super early in the morning depending on when I go into work
>get caffeine in me, check emails and publication statuses on stories I've submitted to(I usually have 5-6 in limbo with various magazines, knowing most are gonna be rejects but the one in 10 acceptance email makes it worth the soul crushing)

LOL, the same time we pay taxes? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If you're serious I don't really think that's funny. There's nothing more pathetic than someone who thinks wealth equates to quality of character...take that protestant ethic elsewhere

I wake up, and lay in bed for a while dreading the sound of the "final alarm" which is the alarm I set to make it to work on time wear yesterdays clothes and run.
I rush to work and arrive sweaty, hungry, anxious and sometimes smelly if I forget to put on deodorant. Sometimes I do, but I start smelling my own balls half way through the day. I make a futile effort to make myself look put together but all my coworkers can tell I don't give a shit. I resent the fact that I'm always most alert and awake while I'm there. I wish I could use this energy I have to read or do something that I like, but here I am. I spend the day suppressing my irritability. One of these days I will snap. I enjoy my lunch breaks though. I go down the street for coffee and soup most days.
I go home tired, I take a nap. I nap too long and I wake up hungry and too groggy to want to make anything. Old ass food in the fridge. Actually my whole apartment usually smells because I rarely have the time or energy to clean it. I eat in front of my computer and shitpost and watch youtube. I think about the things I should do but I don't. I think about how much of a waste my life is. I play counterstrike or something because I feel too foggy to read, but I need to do something to forget myself for a while. I end up going to bed too late, and I never get enough sleep and I can never have a decent schedule like some of you guys seem to have. It's so foreign to me I almost find schedules like too perfect to believe.
One thing I do good is take care of my teeth. I find it's the most obvious sign of mental and physical decay so am obsessive about keeping my teeth in good condition.

When school starts up in September it will be a phantasmagoria of reading literary theory and novels, running a student union, putting together a creative writing magazine, not getting enough sleep, and the occasional stanky dank to keep me from becoming as manic as Raskolnikov. I start losing track of where one book begins and one book ends and every day starts to blend together. At least I love the subject matter or I would be miserable.

Every poster should mention one thing he learned from the thread and give one tip to others; otherwise, this thread is little more than schedule-posting.
What I gained: Reading through this thread, I'm reminded that I need to add exercise back into my schedule. I hurt my neck doing a handstand, which killed my momentum.
My tip: I recently bought a mechanical keyboard despite the fact that I type on a laptop. Although it kills portability, it improves typing speed and gives a bit of a dopamine spike while typing, perhaps due to the noise (I bought the loudest one I could find).
Most laptops these days necessarily come with shallow keyboards. Travel really does make a huge difference if you're typing for a living. The only problem is that your hands are now far from the trackpad, meaning added time as a result of hand movements from keyboard to mouse.
Why do you faggots take the time to shitpost about any mention of weed as if everyone who has ever and will ever smoke is some caricature of a weed culture burnout? Kill yourself
It was one guy acting stupidly.
Now it's two.
It takes me over a week of no bathing before i can sometimes get a whiff of my own balls.

10 min of meditation is not very long. Have you been meditating for a while? I don't find my "groove" until at least 10 minutes in.
Have you tried 15 or 20 min? If no, give it a shot. If so, why step it back to 10?

I don't see "apply for jobs" in your post. Does this mean you've given up on the job search? What are your plans for the future?

I wonder as to why i am so superior to everyone else on this board, observing my daily schedule. Atleast you guys have inspired me. This is what i will do today:
>10:20-10:30 Breakfast
>10:30-11:00 Workout
>11:00-11:15 Shower
>11:15-12:00 read
>12:00-14:00 take a short hike with my tent as to test using it in wet conditions
Can't be bothered to think about more, i'll spend the day after that eating, farting, reading, masturbating, internetbrowsing.
It's Yiddish for "fuck around"
Yiddish is a great source for swear words that are just vague enough not to be offensive, lol.
Man, this is absolutely my favorite schedule so far.
I'm not so devoid of passion that I strangle my days with schedules. Each day I make sure to write at least one sonnet about whatever I can find. Sometimes this means doing it at 2am drunk in the morning but I do it.
