However, I\u2019ve always been a morning person and I feel most productive first thing in the day. So the day usually starts at 7.30am (well that\u2019s what time my alarm goes off anyway).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If I\u2019m honest, I don\u2019t often have breakfast but this is one of those \u2018do as I say and not what I do\u2019 moments! You really should have it, in order to get the day off to a good start. When I do have breakfast, it is usually in the form of cereals or a waffle, and I\u2019ll try and have some water too to start the day by being hydrated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7394 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2970-rotated.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" alt=\"Image of laptop, books and notes on a desk\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2970-rotated.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2970-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once I\u2019ve washed and got dressed, I like to get comfortable at my desk and log on to my laptop. On a typical day I log on for 8am. I usually start by reading one of that week&#8217;s books for an hour, to get into the zone and focus.<\/p>\n<p>After this, I usually work through some of the tasks I have planned for the day. I have a weekly desk planner that I find really useful as it helps remind me of anything I have on that day such as Zoom calls and seminars. I cross things off once they are completed, which leaves me with a sense of accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7395 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2978-rotated.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" alt=\"Image of weekly desk planner\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2978-rotated.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2978-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have lunch around 1 or 2 pm, which is usually when I find a natural gap in the day. At the moment I often have a bowl of soup with some bread as it\u2019s really filling and comforting, especially as the weather is starting to get that much colder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the rest of the afternoon, I continue to work through my daily tasks and remember to keep drinking water as I go. I haven&#8217;t always been the best at remembering to stay hydrated, but when I do I always feel much better. I like to make lecture and seminar notes by hand as I find they stay in my memory better that way, although a lot of people choose to type their notes as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I like to take my daily exercise late afternoon or at night as I find it\u2019s a great way to round off the day. I enjoy going for a walk with my housemate around 6pm on a weekday, or slightly earlier at the weekend while it&#8217;s still light and the day is less structured. Going for a walk is a great way for me to wind down and clear my head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7396 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2773-rotated.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" alt=\"Image of the Minster in the evening sun\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2773-rotated.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2773-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I get back from my daily walk I usually make a quick and easy tea. One of my go-to recipes is sausage and bacon pasta which takes about half an hour, including preparation time. In my house we like to bake and so for dessert I&#8217;ll usually have the thing we\u2019ve baked that week &#8211; this week it was lemon cheesecake. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7397 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2979-rotated.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" alt=\"Image of half a homemade cheesecake in a tin\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2979-rotated.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/img_2979-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My day usually finishes around 10.30pm when I switch off by listening to music or watching a short video. Before going to sleep I listen to a well-being podcast called &#8216;Wake Up\/Wind Down&#8217; on Spotify which I first started listening to during the first lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My day starts at what for most students is probably an ungodly hour.
