I always enjoy the articles in magazines where they interview a celebrity or successful businessperson and ask about that person’s daily routine. I would always take the celebrity’s schedule and compare it to mine. Today I had (and I’m still having) a huge day.
I used to dream about the days when I wouldn’t have to sit behind a desk all day and would be free to take meetings and run around town. That day came today.
And although I’m on my third coffee, I’m still energized and motivated. Remember in my old blogs when I used to search high and low for motivation? Today it’s right here with me (as it should be).
My schedule for today is listed below. I’d love to get comments from readers on how they spend their days. I always find these interesting . . .
INTERN QUEEN’S THURSDAY
6:30 a.m. Still pressing snooze.
7:30 a.m. Convincing myself that if I don’t get up soon, I’ll miss my meeting.
8:15 a.m. En route to McDonald’s for my “Intern Queen Favorite,” iced coffee.
9 a.m. In downtown Los Angeles for my first meeting with a college counselor.
10:30 a.m. Working from home, sending e-mails and making calls from my phone sheet.
1 p.m. Lunch meeting with another college career counselor.
2:45 p.m. Coffee with the head of another recruitment service.
4 p.m. In the office finishing my daily phone sheet and returning calls. I also typed up my weekly productivity report. (I decided I’m going to make these daily at 6:30 p.m. and turn in an all-inclusive version to my superiors every week.) Normally, I would do my blog at 6:30 p.m. as well, but I was a little backed up today with my meetings.
6:45 p.m. Emergency manicure. Hey! I couldn’t help it. My mother would be horrified if she saw me going to meetings with nails that looked the way mine did. I should have done them pre-meetings.
8 p.m. Quick bite to eat across town with potential manager.
9:30 p.m. Coffee catchup with two close friends (It’s important to me to stay updated on what is going on with my close friends, even with a busy schedule)
10:15 p.m. Back home to check e-mails, blog and create my phone sheet for my ride to work in the morning. I usually have a little bit of “at home” research I like to do each night, as well, to feel productive.
11 p.m. Cleaning my apartment and going through old Intern Queen files to decide what to take into the office. I also need to make sure the ants that found old peaches in my kitchen are all dead.
12:30 p.m. Late night workout. Then, most likely, food (even though it’s horrible to eat this late). All followed by sleep.
