早上6:45：闹钟铃响。我迅速起床，穿上上班衣服，今天是牛仔裤和小西装。边准备边听选自教堂年中会议的早安灵修。然后开始洗脸，化妆，做头发。接下来，检查一下是否把工作用的设备和个人用品都放进包里，检查运动包里锻练和指导用品是否都收好了。

早上7:00：坐在桌前诵读圣经，并规划一下今天工作的优先顺序。祈祷完带上今天要用的物品，穿鞋子出门，开车去上班。

上午8:00：到达公司（高科技公司），先去公司里一家餐厅吃早餐。一边吃早餐，一边查看主管的日程表，浏览最紧急的邮件。回复后回办公室。

上午9:00：跟上司报备，询问昨天工作进展是否顺利。随后我们一起安排今天/本周工作的优先顺序。

上午10:00：参加团队会议，与其他同事碰面。

上午11:00：处理邮件及/或跟进项目，或者学习进修课程，提升工作技能，比如商务写作能力。

中午12:00：在公司内设的餐厅吃午饭。通常我会叫上同事一起吃，或者联系其他人一起吃，这样有助于掌握更多公司其他部门和商务方面的知识。

下午1:00：查阅邮件及/或了解项目进展。

下午2:00：主持下午会议。

下午3:00：开始规划明天工作的优先顺序，总结今天的工作。

下午4:00：离开公司去健身中心锻炼。我报了一个课程，和朋友一起锻炼。

下午5:00：休息一小时，我会去吃晚饭或者喝一杯蛋白质奶昔，借此机会恢复体力，或者看看书，再或者打个电话。

下午6:00：接下来几个小时我是教练。在健身中心为客户提供指导，教新客户或者帮助老客户达到他们所订的健身目标。我指导他们做机能性动作、举重、体操和一些健身相关技巧。过程里我们也享乐其中！

晚上9:00：我带上健身中心的门，回家。回家洗澡，听室友说说今天过的怎么样。浏览邮件，用几分钟处理一下工作、私人生活或者教堂社区派任的工作。最后，我会看看书或者上网看看小视频，放松自己准备就寝。

晚上10:30：关灯睡觉！

6:45am: Alarm clock sounds. I immediately rise and dress for work in jeans and ablouse. I listen to a morning devotional while I get ready,selected from my church’s semi-annual conference.

7:00am: I sit down at my desk and read from scripture and plan my day's priorities.I finish with a prayer and then collect everything I need for the day. I put onmy shoes as I go out the door and get in my car to drive to work.

8:00am: I arrive to work (at a high tech company)and go to one of the cafes forbreakfast. While I eat I review my director’s calendars andscan email for the most urgent requests. Once I handle urgent requests,I make my way to my desk.
