I make sure to jog, read, and write after work daily. Often I do that while listening to music. Then I cook dinner and zone out to some TV.

I plan to do ”personal work” right after work. Usually that’s writing or another creative pursuit at a coffee shop for an hour or two. Sometimes it’s a chore or errand. But only one thing with a finite stopping point. Then I need to relax and do something fun after. I make dinner and watch a show or listen to a podcast or music. Then after watch a movie, read a book, or play a video game.

i usually start with ordering delivery food. that way i don't need to cook and i also need to get out of bed to take it from the courier.
in the waiting time i take a quick shower, brush my teeth and thinking about what tasks and deadlines i have at the moment and which of them are more important.
then i have breakfast and put something on the background to watch, usually it is "The Big Bang Theory" or "Brooklyn 99". I've watched them a million times so i won't be deeply interested but i also have something that kills the silence and don't make me go back into my head. I also take my meds and mark this in my tracker
Then i open my work tools, starting with Notion and Figma. I'm planning the day, all tasks that have to be done on laptop and another that require to go outside. If i can't make myself do any work, i turn on Britney Spears — Work Bitch. It usually helps but if i still can't do work, I'm doing anything else. I'm finding references for projects, planning the rest of the week, sending CV to different positions, all that kind of stuff. Or if i have time, i put on some nice clothes and go to work outside at the cafe or library.
In the evening i have supper, clean up the mess i little bit and go to bed.
The trick is to do everything like a robot, just get into routine with the empty head. It always helps me to get things done

put the energy somewhere: my go-to's
- a long late-night walk
- always shower + stretch before bed
- crying, reading, handwriting to exhaustion
- a nighttime routine that includes tea
- counting down from 10 again and again
- same song on repeat (lullaby)
- early morning sun and watch the sunset

3:1 gin and vermouth with olives and a twist. Ideally Hendricks, Aviator, or Monkey 47 with Dolin.
