# Devine Lu Linvega https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/lifestyle.html > **Notes on Routine and Habits.** > A **typical day** usually begins at around 6:00am. > I tend to try and **keep my eyes shut** until I have mentally drafted a [rough plan](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/aesthetics.html) of the things I will want to have done by the end of that day. I rise to grind coffee — I usually ever **only drink one cup** per day. > > I immediately set off to complete the task I planned in bed. I know to have about 3 hours of undisturbed flow before the distraction surrounding lunch-time pulls me away from the work. My goal for each day, is to complete **a single task** that should take about 3 hours to complete — Or between 4 to 5 pomodoros. > > After the last pomodoro, I usually **cook for a half-hour**, and then **eat for a half-hour**, and then **walk for a half-hour**, to fully leave the haze of the *flowstate*. The afternoon is spent doing maintenance, superficial work and experiments. But mostly, the afternoon is spent reading and learning. The goal is to build a catalog of exciting things to wake up to the next day and to experiment with. > > The superficial work that I do involves replying to blogs & forums, editing wikipedia entries, doing maintenance to various repositories, answering emails and so on.. > > The day ends with **journaling for a half-hour** at which point I record the task done, and the [lessons learned](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/mirrors.html) . Before sleeping, I usually **read for a half-hour**, I go to bed with a [book](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/reading.html) , and a highlighter pen. I overline the things I want to keep for a later use, or to revisit.
