12 Days of Blogmas: 6 | A December Day in the Life

Oh, hello!

Welcome to day 6 of 12 Days of Blogmas.

We’re halfway there!

I must say this has been SO much fun so far. It’s no secret that I like to write in real-time, so deciding on 12 days versus 25 was the best decision I’ve made for this challenge. I’m really looking forward to finishing it with a bang!

Alright, before we get started with today’s discussion, can we talk about how CUTE this sweater is?! It’s an entire mood. When I saw it, I just had to have it, because hello pink & chill! I’m so here for it.

Now, let’s get into it.

As I said on my last post, I truly enjoy sharing the behind the scenes situation with you guys. I’m all about giving the really real deets. So, in that same spirit, I’m sharing what a day in my life typically looks like.

Of course, I’m obsessed with my time cube & planners, so those are always involved. I’ve also gotten really big on using the Reminders app on my phone. It helps a ton when I’m crazy busy. & the color coding system is just EVERYTHING. I can’t believe I went so long without using it.

Kay, into the chaos we go.

Here’s a peak into a day in the life of yours truly:

7:30 AM

Wake up,  do some deep breathing, & meditate for about 10 minutes

7:45 – 8 AM

Do facial & morning routine, make coffee, grab a QUICK bite for breakfast

8 – 11:45  AM

Clock in & get to work ( yes, I’m still working a FT job, but I get other things done in the meantime )

11:45 – 12:45 PM

Some social media engagement & check emails

12:45 – 1:45 PM

Clock out for lunch, post to social media, & read a few pages of the book I’m into ( right now I’m reading The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod )

1:45 – 2:30 PM

Clock back into work, plan & schedule days, blog posts, & photo shoots

2:30 – 5 PM

Finish up the work day & clock out

5 – 6:30 PM

Check & respond to emails, social media engagement, engage with the blogging community ( I make a point to do this often)

6:30 – 7:30 PM

Write the next blog post

7:30 – 8:30 PM

Dinner

8:30 – 10:00 PM

Shower & nighttime routine ( I like to really take my time here )

10:00 PM

Get into bed, talk to friends, binge watch a couple of shows, social media check

12:00 AM

Sleep time ( & if I can’t sleep, I read or talk to friends until I get to that point )

That’s about it!

It’s really about balance for me. Because working a full time job while also working on becoming a full time blogger has to be done very carefully in order to pull it off the RIGHT way.

I will also add that no 2 days look exactly the same. This is just a generalized version of the happenings.

Here’s what I’m currently working on:

• Not reaching for my phone right after opening my eyes in the AM
• Allowing at least an hour to NOT be on my phone before sleeping
• Scheduling my days better ( I know it seems like it’s not that bad, but it can be CHAOS )
• Adding more time for reading ( I used to read all the time, & I’m trying to get back into it)
• Minimizing procrastination, even on the hard days

I’m a firm believer in the fact that there is always room for improvement. & I’ve committed to continuously bettering myself. I’m excited to meet me in 5 years. I know all of the effort will be worth it.

Mmkay, that’s all I have for you guys today. I know it was just some day in the life deets, but I really hope you got something out of it.

Until day 7!

Much love & mimosas.
