Typical working day:

  • My wife wakes up at about 11AM
  • I wake up at about 12PM
  • We eat breakfast and drink some coffee and maybe watch a TV show
  • I start looking through issues and replying
  • By 5PM I might get into code if there are PRs to merge
  • I have dinner with my wife and we watch some TV show
  • I'm either writing some code, cutting a release, or aimlessly wandering on Twitter or Github
  • I go to bed and sleep

Typical holiday:

  • Me and my wife wake up at 2PM
  • We watch TV shows, go to nice places in town, or invite friends to our place
  • I try to avoid compulsively checking Twitter and sometimes succeed by not charging my phone

When I have a specific task at hand, I try to shut Twitter/Github down and just focus on work until I get at least something running. Then I gratify myself by posting a GIF on Twitter and cutting a release.

When I get a full-time job, I hope to have a more focused schedule, so I'll have free time on evenings to explore London, where I plan to move.

I was going to write a new issue, but after seeing this one I think it's better to just bump it.
@gaearon, do you still having the same routine as describe up here?

Pretty much except I mostly work on React these days. (Yay full time job!) So I generally start code related activities at about 2PM and finish at about 10PM. You can check out our meeting notes for an idea of what we are working on: https://github.com/reactjs/core-notes
