Honest, I'm inspired by @whatamidoing to do a post on " do you keep a routine?" and also @vincentnijman for keeping his consistency with his diary. I am so glad he does well and keep the diary going. It's a fun read during lunch break and you guys should read it!. He has effortless wit for sure.

Do you Keep a Routine?

The answer is actually very clear and it's a no. yet like himself ( whatamidoing), I tried to form a routine to maintain a balance and creating progress in my life. It's been a leaning patch journey yet I won't give up easily. Today I could ramble on a bit on my exam as a way to procrastinate.However, I did a tiny fragment on my responsibility as a student though by the end of the day, I ended up visiting a new restaurant and bakery nearby my flat.

So,most of us can go outside without having an anxiety and panic attack. I used to be an avid traveler but these days, going outside especially in La La Land is a frightening daily activity. There are many irresponsible rider and driver that can hit pedestrian anytime. I am most likely die in an accident or hit and run than a mass shooting. Likewise, I've had enough of terrible accident and not willing to have it anymore or anytime sooner. One more accident I'd deserve a badge!

Now, struggling with life management, I chose a minimalist lifestyle. However, I still hoard on crypto and books. Okay, being a minimalist does not mean someone is dead ass broke.They probably have investment somewhere over the clouds, penny stocks or you'd never know, a gold maybe?. As for myself, being minimalist means easier access to be a normal human being that breath, eat, sleep and shit. It's easier to locate my cutlery, easier to pick shirt, force myself to go outside and overcoming my own fear. I strongly suggest if you often lose your items, try to implement this lifestyle and see the magic works.

There are two version of myself when it comes to a daily routine. The sober me vs the drunk me. Let's get to know the sober macchiata!

This is a rare event that only happen maximum 5 days in a month!

When Macchiata is sober, here are what she does;

• She would wake up at 6: 30 and would not snooze or dismiss her alarm. Then, she would rush into the shower and talking to herself about upcoming projects, ideas and how to reply people's question. She tries to figure out ideas she's been telling to people and think how to make it happen. She is forgetful. Oh and, she loves to think inside the shower because it's chilly.

• The next thing she would do is dressing up and going to get a breakfast. Let's stop here a moment. for many of us, breakfast is a routine but not for macchiata, you would find her saying brunch almost in the evening just because she has forgotten to eat. When she's sober here's how her breakfast looks like :

It's either Cafe latte or Americano with local beans since some of her favorite coffee shop doesn't have macchiato. She willingly trade macchiato for a faster WiFI. She hates slow people and even more the internet connection. It can ruin her day. She would stay in the coffee shop until lunch time and in total she usually drinks 2-3 coffee.

• After consuming coffee and news. She would to go take lunch. She would always find a way to find a new restaurant and or places to eat. Usually people take picture of their food but for macchiata, she feels odd doing it. look at this shaky picture!
  

• A selfie for the day is a mandatory. It is a way to cherish the sober moment.

• Soon as she gets back, she finds her way to read books and write couple of things. And talk to people.

• Since she is now focusing on more research based content, she would be reading different points of views. Talk to people and ask around. It's very difficult for her to pick one at a breath.

• In the middle of the day, something will ruin her day because her perfectionism get into the way. Then, the next day it's no more rainbow and daisies. It would take sometime and even weeks to recover.

• The cycle continue and everyone moves on...

• If you want to know how drunk macchiata can be, just reverse everything above and voila! Or if you happen to talk to her on discord, you will pretty much understand.

• A bonus, Christmas is coming and everywhere has this beautiful Christmas tree decoration and She is like Ebenezer Scrooge in Christmas carol who doesn't give a shit. Perhaps she needs a visit from Christmas ghost to show her around, how a happy family would have a feast, having a chit chat and what not.
