My day:
- Wake. Turn on my PC and brew coffee.
- Open Trello, Unity, and Photoshop. Start work immediately. Work non-stop, sometimes forgetting to eat. I may work 12 to 20 hours, depending on my resolve.
- I blast My Top Rated playlist in iTunes to keep me going.
- I rock the pomodoro technique when I can’t seem to focus.
- I have professional Skype meetings where I say things like “What if the crystals get carried away before the princess?” and “What if the buildings are powered by starlight?”
- I eat food that I prepared in bulk for the week, unless I am out of food and I need to do the preparing.
- I do squats, lunges, and pushups while waiting for food to heat, or during my pomodoro breaks.
- When it starts getting late and I’m getting burnt out I have a shot of tequila and keep working with a renewed sense of purpose. I do this until a friend hits me up on Steam and I play some StarCraft.
- Finally, before bed, my favorite thing to do is watch Survivorman. I command my pc to “>shutdown -s -t 1800”, I start the next episode of Surviorman, and I drift off to sleep listening to the calm, soothing explanations of how to start a fire, build a shelter, catch game, or enjoy wild edibles. My PC shuts itself off after I fall asleep.
- Restart
