My new daily schedule

6:00 AM Wake up.
6:05 AM Wake up again, haul self into bathroom, wash face, lose weight.
6:30 AM Head out for a walk, new route each day.
7:30 AM Return to Lido, get into shower.
7:50 AM Get to Monte Carlo, read news aggregated overnight in NetNewsWire, check email.
8:30 AM Morning meeting.
9:15 AM Breakfast.
9:45 AM Back to email, or start of working day, depending on load.
1:00 PM Lunch.
2:00 PM Afternoon activities, where someone (within Synapse) gives a talk, updates us with the news, or shows off their project.
2:30 PM Back to work, now completely offline. Not even on the LAN (does wonders to productivity).
5:00 PM End of working day. Evening activities are one of volleyball, beach volleyball, trip to the city, or a talk by a visitor.
9:00 PM Dinner.
9:30 PM In bed with two books, post-it note slips for marking interesting passages, a notepad for writing down thoughts, and the soothing music of Sting or Dire Straits piping into my ears (playlist changes every few days).
0:00 AM Asleep.

    heh, Lido was the first night club I went to - or remember at least. Was back in '93, and we got into a fight on our first night there. The next time I visited Goa, it had shut down.

      Speaking of fights, we witnessed a bloody brawl at the Tito's disco, which is close to Bagga Beach. This was in 1997.

    Incidentally, in the movie AntiTrust the media software technology being built by NURV (the evil corp) is named SYNAPSE ;-)

    Hope you stick to it ..
    Dear Jace,
    Your daily schedule was inspiring enough for me to borrow a few points. Especially the following

    2:30 PM -> Back to work, now completely offline ..

    9:30 PM -> In bed with two books ..


    I will not lie but getting up at 6:00 AM is a bit ...
