The Sunday Routine

I have received many e-mails and comments wanting to know what my daily routine is like. The thing is because I’m my own boss my routine changes all the time and it can be different each day depending on what I’m doing. Although my Sunday’s usually are always the same. I use Sunday as sort of a catch up and relax day. It is always good to have at least one relax day a week. You can’t be working 7 days a week, you will eventually get burnt out.

Relaxing
I never set an alarm on Sundays, I just sleep in till whenever I feel like getting up. I usually try to catch up on my blog reading on Sunday too. I have about 20 blogs in my bookmarks that I enjoy to reading so I usually sit out on my deck, enjoy the weather (if it’s nice) and read blogs for a few hours. Sundays for me also means a nice big lunch. Since I have more time on Sunday’s I usually make a big lunch that takes a while to make. That way I can sit and enjoy eating, not rush through it.

Catching Up
As I said I do not do a lot of work on Sundays, but I do get some work done. A lot of the time I get behind on e-mails, so I use the weekend to get caught up on them. I also use Sunday to research blog topics and article topics for ThinkComputers. Another part of Sunday is spent doing little tweaks to my websites like adding new features or redesigning. As many of you know ThinkComputers usually posts 5 reviews a week so I prepare Monday’s review on Sunday night. So it is not a lot of work on Sunday, but it is nice to be able to be productive in a relaxed atmosphere.

I recently got a Flip Ultra to review on ThinkComputers so I decided to make a video of my outside “workstation” (old computer chair), and show you the view from my apartment. If you enjoyed the video please let me know and I will continue to make more of them.
