[Music] my day typically starts around 6:00 a.m. and I would say my mornings are the most hectic part of the day because I try to do a lot in the mornings uh including getting my hot girl walk and getting kids ready for school and getting myself ready for work the first thing I obviously do is make a cup of coffee because I'm a coffee holic I love the coffee that I make I am very particular about how I like my coffee anyways enough about the coffee I work from Office 3 days a week and work from home 2 days a week today is one of the days where I'm going to be going to the office and I'm going to take you along with me uh this is me on the morning walk I live near a really beautiful lake and a really beautiful trail that I can go and walk in the morning and clear my head and just spend some time like without my phone and everything after I come back home I make myself protein shake because I'm currently on a high protein diet and I've been trying to eat [Music] healthy after that I get ready for work and check on the kids and if they need anything before they head to head out to school okay I think I'm Ready the hair took the longest time but I'm ready last year actually a year before I started biking to work and I I think I become lazier so I have started driving to work which I'm not really proud of but can you see the Seattle rain it's a horrible imagine biking in this rain but I do want to get back to it at some point and obviously after I get to work the first thing I do is get another cup of coffee yes as I said I have a few problems this is one of the problems I have but I do try to max out at two cups of coffee per day I get to office around 9:00 a.m. and I like to keep my calendar uh clear in the morning because I have learned about myself over the 10 years of working in the industry I've learned that I am very productive in the morning and I like to keep my mornings free so I can use it for heads down work because I have the most amount of brain cells during this time I think it's probably because of the coffee but who knows so I try to do a lot of heads down work in the morning on this particular day I am working on creating an experimentation design for a new feature that my team wants to test I will write it in a document and then we will have a team meeting and then we will review the design it's 12:00 p.m. now which means it's lunchtime my other favorite part of the day I typically do not have lunch hour meetings but on this particular day I had a lunch hour meeting that I had to [Music] attend and I'm going to head to lunch there is a food item that I really want in another building so I'm just heading there but while I'm walking there I just wanted to take a quick pause and talk about something that I went through last year that I never talked about on my YouTube video I went through a severe burnout and I was literally so miserable I was ready to quit I was not able to sit still there was one night where I was doing yoga 11:00 p.m. at night because I just felt like I wanted to I needed to keep moving there's so many changes that I made in my lifestyle I'm still working hard but not to the max where I end up at a point where I'm burning out I started uh seeing my therapist I made a lot of other changes so let me know if you all want me to talk about it in a different video in a dedicated video I love to share some ideas and tips okay it's getting late let's go get [Music] lunch so I got myself lunch and then went into meeting room to eat lunch there while I listened to the Talk and of course then I went back again to get some dessert after lunch I had backtack meetings with co-workers on VC and in person one of the meetings was with my coworker in New York who is currently trying to replicate one of the methodologies that I had created for my team and we're trying to figure out how he can use this methodology and apply it to his use case so we basically sat down and walk through he walked me through his use cases and then we brainstormed some ideas on how it could be applicable followed by some brainstorming session on a whiteboard with another [Music] coworker after some backtack meetings I took a tiny break to call my mom and catch up with her uh and get a snack from micro [Music] kitchen after talking to my mom I went back to my desk and finished some more work there were some emails that I needed to send and some other action items for me that I needed to complete by that day all right now we're done with the workday now I need to go do my personal stuff so
