One Day Hour by Hour
On Monday, November 14, I participated in my first One Day Hour by Hour challenge. Started by Laura Tremaine, this is a social media challenge giving a glimpse behind the scenes of a day in your life. It was fun to pause throughout my day and capture moments that would otherwise typically be glossed over. I’m sharing the photos with a brief note on what each was capturing.
6:08 AM
Getting ready for my pre-work Peloton ride. Morning rides have been tougher since returning to the office but I’m glad I can make it happen at least a few times a week.
7:23 AM
Saying goodbye to my pup for the day. She’s the sweetest but is also ready for us to leave so she can have her first morning nap.
8:01 AM
Arriving in my office for the day. The morning light is lovely in this space.
8:28 AM
Couldn’t resist sharing more warm, morning light. I’m incredibly lucky to have these huge windows in my office.
9:23 AM
Waiting for my first client of the day to arrive. I work for provincial health and we’re continuing to mask at this time.
10:42 AM
Tough session, a reminder of the incredibly difficult hand some people are dealt. Some days are harder to others in this job.
11:47 AM
Some of my desk essentials. Gotta stay hydrated, diffuse Liquid Sunshine, protect my eyes and stay masked!
12:30 PM
Lunch break means a cookie & coffee and a break from my shoes.
2:12 PM
I shared Russ Harris’ 3 Happiness Myths with a client in the afternoon. HIs video explaining why these are myths is a great resource!
3:45 PM
Closing in on the end of the work day! A slightly messy desk and a desktop photo from foggy drive to work.
4:13 PM
Time to bundle up and head out. It was just 2°C this afternoon so only a light winter coat required.
4:54 PM
Nearly home. Working outside the city makes for easy and often pretty drives to and from work.
6:22 PM
Play time! She’s a pretty fair-weather dog so once it’s under 5°C a lot of her energy is burned by playing ball inside rather than walks.
7:32 PM
Cleaning my bathroom and admiring our pretty new trays for displaying bottles. Aesop is a little bit of a splurge item for us but 100% worth it.
8:19 PM
Time for reading in my cozy nook. I’ve been so excited for the final book of the Beartown series and so far it’s great!
9:27 PM
Prepping coffee for the morning. Getting as much ready at night makes getting out the door for work so much easier!
10:31 PM
And that’s a wrap on my first One Day Hour by Hour. Snuggled up and off to dreamland!
