Today I got up on 7am(1 hour later than planned).


1. I got myself cleaned up first and then prepared breakfast for my kids.

  1. I thought I should do some English study first, then do cleaning up when kids are getting up)

  2. Also, when I prepare breakfast, I should listen to some podcast

2. After having breakfast, it has already been 8am, so I went for a study doing some coding work. During this hour, I took 20 minutes to create some math problems for the big brother and check his answers then explain why some were wrong and help him to correct them. I also finish one leetcode problem.

3. 9:00 am, I started to attend my kid's morning class online. I did some English word study in parallel. (This is a new start, it seemed good. I should persistent doing this)

4. The class was over on 9:40. My son-1 took some recess and i continue with my leetcoding and use this 20 minutes to finish a problem.

5. starting from 10:00, I supervised my son to do his homework and I started to prepare for lunch. I did some assessment for him when he finish his work.

6. On 10:40. I was back to my seat and applied for a job at google. (Actually, I should completed the application at the first time I saw it. Doing it in a later time took extra time. It is the reality that doing something that is necessary when you know it could save a lot of time).

7. 11:15, the baby brother got up and I started to cook. Then we had lunch at 11:45.

8.12:15, I finished my lunch but have had too much, so I have to take more time to digest those food (I talked to my parents,I took some walk, and I boiled a pot of milk tea for family, and I am writing this blog).

9. Now it is 1:17, I am going to finish the first part of today's practice. And I need to take some more walk outside on to the balcony. Maybe I will start my work from 1:30pm.

10. math/opt session => send email to Leia => submit eform => Endao assessment. This afternoon, after 1:30pm, I encounter a big exception, I missed out a important meeting because of the time zone confusion. I should have submitted eForm for OPT, but I haven't. (I have written another post for handling exception. Now it is 7:30pm. I have done nearly nothing, just written down 2 post for future reference from 6:30pm till now. OK, from 1:30-6:30, 5hours, I do some work which should not take my time if I well scheduled my activities with the right timezone. I am very sad, depressed and shocked! But these emotions make no sense. I need be back to my journey and go forward!


But I have to say, I am not in a good shape or mood these days. I need to cheer up and doing some exercises to refresh.
