Whats your quarantine routine

[Empired]

Hi guys

Obvs life is a little bit different now what with us all being locked inside all the time, so just wondered what everyone's days are looking like now we're all in lockdown? How's it different to life before? Or maybe it's not idk. I'll start

Have an alarm set for 7:45am every day. I've been furloughed from work so I'm not working atm (technically still employed but it's shaky lol) but I used to get up at 6:15 for work so 7:45 is a lovely little lie in for me. I'm also a morning person so getting up at a nice time is important. My housemate has been starting my days by throwing her entire body on me when I wake up which I don't always appreciate but lonely times and i'm surviving it so whatever

Then I'm treating myself to a cuppa tea in bed, might eat a dark choc digestive (the best biscuit in the world if ur wondering), read some of my book or watch an episode of a show on TV.

Then get myself up, brush my teeth, wash my face, get dressed, go downstairs

Eat breakfast n have some coffee with the household which includes my mum and two housemates (one's a longtime friend and one's a coworker/friend)

Get myself ready for the day, set myself up somewhere with my laptop - apply for jobs, do my uni work, and I just took a 4 day advanced excel certification because i'm COOL and because it was 90% off in a Udemy sale. rly enjoyed it and I'm now a master in excel, updated all my income accounts for the last tax year and turns out i've been incorrectly taxed from oct - jan so that's fun!!!

We all stop what we're doing and eat lunch together which is normally a homemade soup and then someone else each day makes another thing to add to the table (today I made fried lentil & potato cakes)

Then continue with serious laptop work in the afternoon

Maybe have a nap if I didn't sleep too well the night before but I'm rly careful with naps and set myself a maximum of an hour so I don't oversleep and ruin my sleep appetite for the night to come yknow what I mean???

Then go out for the lovely heavenly wonderful afternoon stroll with the dog round the park or pop out on my bike for a nice lil cycle ride

Dinner is also a household affair and we have a cooking rota, then we'll all chill out, watch some TV, play some mario kart on the switch or play some board games

Then shower and bed

SO long post but to cut a long story short I feel really elderly getting myself into such a steadfast routine but I think i'd be breaking down if I was letting myself sleep in til all hours and not eating right?? lame but sadly true

your turn x

[scottish]

its **** depressing man

also dark chocolate digestive what's wrong with you, normal chocolate or no digestive :|


I have my alarm set for 7:50AM (for this week as I'm on early starts) but normally it'll be about 8:20-8:30AM then I'll get ready (cause I might still need to go out for work so still need to get ready ), go make cereal sit on my computer for a bit then jump on the sofa and open laptop and start working

I'll have the simpsons or something else on in the background and deal with all my colleagues asking me questions and stuff until lunch, have a sandwich and chill on PC for an hour then back to work

After work (4/4:30/5) I'll make my dinner (well by make I mean stick it in the microwave because thankfully the guy who makes my food is still a key worker technically) then at 6 I'll go for a run or do fitness class on zoom.

I'll then get back showered changed etc and speak to people all night

oh ok so lads in a fun turn of events for some reason after all my routine bullshit talk I can't sleep now

[Triz]

Honestly I don't really have a routine..

At first I was waking up naturally at around 6-7am, because that's about when I always did for work, but after about 4-5 days my body clearly got more relaxed and now I'm waking up at around 9am
I then go on my phone, texting back people who have messaged me, both on messenger, whatsapp and snapchat. I then play Clash of Clans for about 5 minutes before getting up and turning on PC.

I then browse HxF and update my To-Do list thread, and set out what I got planned to do today
I then decide to do life stuff and have breakfast if I can be bothered (Most times I just skip to lunch)

I'll then work on the forum for a while if theres enough stuff to do, and then watch a film or TV show if I get bored
Maybe I'll play some online games such as Counter Strike or Left 4 Dead, or Command and Conquer etc... Then might socialise on Habbo for a while

Basically I'll repeat any of those steps above until its bedtime, and then I go to sleep lol.
Sometimes I'll go for a bike ride, sometimes I'll go to the shop, but I wouldn't class those as part of my routine
Oh and all the usual stuff thrown in there like brushing teeth, shower etc... but there is no set time for those, just whenever I feel like it. I am a madman with no routine lol

Basically I've become one with boredom and I've mastered the art of not caring

[RyRy]

wake up
switch on my work computers
go get a shower whilst they're sitting as if im online
get a bowl of cereal and some yazoo and start the work day
midday i go downstairs for more food
1pm i die on the couch to play animal crossing for longer than i should do
3pm work through till 6pm
go play more animal crossing till 10pm
watch a movie
dinner falls somewhere in the animal crossing gaming sometimes

routine is terrible tbh

[lawrawrrr]

Wake up at like 6am cos I don't seem to be able to sleep... lay in bed between when I wake up and about half 8

Have a cup of coffee and sit down quietly, before starting work around 9am.

Really busy at work at the moment because I'm in digital marketing

I try to take lunch between 1 and 2 so I'm back by 3 but I'm always late and have skipped lunch quite a few times (oops). i try to either work in my garden or go out for a walk!

Work until about 5, 5:30 ish

Jump on the wii fit for at least half an hour!

Then it's a normal evening for me!!

before this I was on a 40 hour week placement at endoscopy (student nurse life), now I'm exempt because of health sooo isolating

wake up at like 11am lol watch an hour of soaps or something whilst crocheting, feed my son and try and do a bit of education with him since nursery is closed and he starts school in september then just basically housework do a bit of uni work (3 essays due in may) and chill on an evening, for some reason lock down is still crazy hectic

Trying to make best out of a bad situation with having to stay home, i'd much rather be out working even with furlough pay. However, trying to keep myself productive so I wake up around 8ish and go straight to our little garage gym, breakfast around 10.30. After that I spend the majority of the day in my room writing and editing projects which is great as I wouldn't normally get too much time to spend on that kind of stuff. Evenings I spend with my housemates generally drinking, chatting and playing board games.

i get up about 9 and weigh myself and have my breakfast. then i sit down and plan out what uni work i need to work on/finish today, and what my meals are gonna be (since i found out that having set meals helps me stick to my diet lol)

i sort of laze around until lunch time, then switch between working on my assignments and watching my online lectures. 4:30 i exercise for an hour, then shower and cook my supper. after supper i take my pup for a walk and them game all evening lol
