Hi,

Since we started 9tree i’ve began a wonderful daily routine, which i recommend to all who might read this.

8:30 AM : Wakeup

I usually take about 15 mins to get up + 5 mins do get ready and 10 mins to arrive at Cartaxo so i set my alarm clock to 8:30 .

9:00 AM : Daily sports

This one has completely changed my life. I was used to drive 1 hour to work (about 43 miles) and having to go through Lisbon’s heavy traffic in the morning.
Now i wake up every morning with a smile because i’m not going to drive long, not get into traffic and i’m not even going to work – i’m going to play soccer or basketball, maybe some tennis or a swim. Believe me, i now almost prefer weekdays to weekends.

10:00 AM : Bath & Breakfeast

Ahhh the cold 10 mins shower after sweating – so fine.
And a big breakfast to calm your stomach.

10:30 AM : Arriving at work, read/answer the emails

Arriving to work is supposed to be the boring part right? not quite.
Nobody here actually works upon arrival, we start by saying hi to everyone at work discussing the daily news, reading emails, setting to-dos, etc.

11:00 AM : Work a while

Now we work.
Layout design, cool new features, some open source development or old fashioned system administration.
We get it done.

12:30 PM : Lunch time!

Food! :D

2:00 PM : Read the news, write a post!

I usually read slashdot, portuguese news on publico and the latest comic on explosm .
A post doesn’t come around every day, but i try to post as often as possible.

2:30 PM : Worktime

Main worktime starts here.

4:00 PM : The pause

Have a coffe, a smoke and a talk with friend’s from work.

4:15 PM : Back to work!

Work continues.

7:30 PM : Go home or work late.

Here we usually make a choice depending on our moods. Sometimes we stay, sometimes we go.

8:00 PM : Dinner!

Ahhhh more food! :D

9:30 PM : Coffee with friends :)

Going out with friend’s for a coffee and chat is a must have.
When you don’t feel like it – how about a movie? latest Lost episode?

12:00 AM : Go to sleep :o

Another of my favorites :)

See you tomorrow ;)
