What is your routine start and end of the day?
I start with checking my daily planner and working on that day’s goals. After I finish each goal, I cross it out from the page and continue with the next one until I’m done. After that, I watch a movie or documentary (like Abstract), read something (like Maximize Your Potential by 99U), or go out with friends.
