Minimize Emacs and fire up Factorio.
I'm not home until I've taken a shower. I'm in there within 60 seconds.

Oh shower, how I love thee.

17:30, after 40m bus, Eat toast and coffee, shower, tv news, Netflix, household shores, eventually pc again.
Random question .. what do you eat with toast? (jam, spread, etc...)
1) take off all the stuff I needed to be or got from the outside and put it where it belongs

2) be inside

I try to make dinner as soon as I get in, it's done then and I can spend the rest of my night doing whatever.
After work, I make an effort to hop on the stationery bike for 20 minutes to get some exercise, than I make myself a protein shake. Hop on my laptop and my side projects begin... do that until I pass out, pretty much.
I always sit down, set a 15 minutes timer and read before doing anything else. Then prep for the next day, shower, cook, read more and sleep.
1. spend 10 minutes playing with the kids 2. make dinner 3. Put kids to bed 4. Watch Netflix while doing dishes. 5. 30 minutes of DataCamp 6. 30 minutes of reading 7. Sleep
