Fronesis:
I'm of the opinion that while you concentrate in building your career, you also take out time to build other areas of your life.

For a typical day at work, first thing i do is to take a sheet of paper and write out my plan for the day. So i divide my time at work into 2: 8-12noon and 1-4 pm. My 8-12noon comprises of doing my tasks: responding to mails, executing tasks, attending meetings, taking out time to update myself with news around the world(nairaland has been helpful), when i'm getting bored, do a little of instagram, take out time when its available to read some pages of a book. By 12 noon, i take out time to pray and take lunch. I repeat my 8-12noon in my 1-4pm.

Take out time to read not gisting and pleasure always, serve God through evangelism towards the weekend, invest in building great relationships in the weekend, enjoy your life also in the weekend. If you dont want to regret in future, your mondays to fridays must be for you through adequate investment of your time in building your life. Weekend is for serving God and ofcos pleasure.

Thanks.

Soft work

Get to work by 8 am.
Greet people, change to my scrub, then sashay into the consulting room.
See a few patients, then take excuse around 10 to take a bite to eat.
Resume work, see more patients, attend to emergencies when they come, continue to see patients till the load reduces, go home by 4pm.


If i am on call, take a break by 3 pm to resume by 4, see patients, set lines, order investigations, discuss with relatives, refer who is necessary till workload reduces or patients stop coming.
Go to sleep, repeat the whole process when I am called for a patient late in the night(no matter how many times). Get up by 6 am next morning, do ward rounds, collect baby samples if it's a weekend. Continue to see outpatients till noon or 4pm the next day.

Work begins at 8am.

I go over the logbook, Incoming and Outgoing logbook to check if I've received Letters/Mails from different organizations, I place them on my Boss table for the files to be worked on.
I receive daily reports from the various tax offices in the State and their level of tax compliance. Also do research on tax laws and how it can be applied to a situation, take minutes of meetings etc.
Then record information for Application for Certificate of Occupancy. Or sometimes help my colleague process Tax clearance certificate.

Sometimes, the day can be very free, other times I'm engrossed in work that I won't know when time has gone far. Lol doesn't stop me from eating sha.
Cos Tax work is a whole lot. If I don't have breakfast before I leave the house, my whole day is spoilt because I'd be drained and I don't eat "Mamaput" due to my sensitive stomach, so I'd be munching on snacks all through.

My free period is meant for doing goofy Snapchat videos with my colleagues, going from one office to another for gist, strolling around the office to stretch my legs, watching YouTube videos on the organisation's PC, etc.
My workplace closes by 4pm but because I work directly with my Boss, I usually close 5/6pm or sometimes 7pm cheesy.

I do a remote job, basically I currently work from my bedroom and also do my crypto trading thing. The last time I went to a physical office was during my NYSC days, 4 years ago.

back in the day, everyday at work was horrible, filled with tribalism and hatred.

It was really hard working in a place where 99% were from a particular tribe different from yours.

I hope you currently enjoy your work now... And hope it's much more rewarding

Aside the peks, pay and status that comes with being a medical practitioner, is it stressful? Does it take a toll on the body? And what do you personally do sometimes to release the steam and unwine sad

No , i just set up everything required iny house to make life easy.

Eg . A bike, rowing machine, dumbells... Use d rowing machine the most.. the hardest part is cooking and eating.. sometimes i skip.

Essentially no hard routine, i prioritie my work, then do everything else.

Trading , I use alerts.. everything is on the mobile phone. So that's easy.

I am a teacher. I resigned during the lockdown to start a business, it failed. Now I have to wait till August (summer) to resume a new teaching job on the island.

I now appreciate my job now more than ever. Even if the pay is not as I would like, with private classes, I was able to live fine. Now no income, I can't wait to resume and this time I will cherish my job and plan well before resigning to start any business in the future.
Pls how can u link me up with a teaching job on d island. I have a degree in accounting education. Schools for mainland no dey try at all

Never resign to start a business again. Plan and start a business you can run along side ur teaching job probably by employing someone who does the day to day running while you come around after closing from work. Do it until the business is stable (starts bringing in good profit). At this point you can resign to run it along with ur current staff full time. Expand it by putting like 40% of ur savings into it and then focus on growing it.

My days starts with a cup of coffee. I like it black. Afterwards, I will draft a to-do list for the day, then check my emails.

By 12pm, I will take a break. Grab some munchies and fix myself a nice lunch. Then, maybe check the featured threads on NL.

Start the second half of the day by 1:30pm-ish and close by 6pm.

Yes, It is routine work most times and can get very very boring (that's why Netflix and YouTube is there for me to unwind). Other times, there's a fresh challenge that gets me on my toes, it's exciting and exhilarating at the same time!

Yes, there are challenges to my work too. I once misplaced a work mail sent in by an organisation and it was very vital, the luck I had is that a colleague made a photocopy of the original, otherwise, it wouldn't have been a funny tale to tell.
There's also the problem of "difficult worker" but I always manoeuvre my way into them doing the job and disperse!

I wake up at 6am at most 6:15am via a loud alarm. Glance through a single verse of scripture most times and say a very short prayer.

Make oats meal and boiled eggs most morning with a cup of coffee. I am off at 7am to catch a bus. Get to work and check all my messages and tasks for the day. I say a prayer if it's a lot to do. Grind through the day. At 12:30 I have my break for an hour. Do some admin work and reply mails afterwards, and speak to clients who request a call back. Finish at 5pm most days, but get home 7pm most times, and the cycle continues. Good thing is pay comes monthly.
