Daily Shedule

Very often I feel overwhelmed and short of time.  I want to start paying attention to how I spend my time Mon-Fri so I can learn how to spend it more productively:

05:30am: Rise, make coffee, have a boring breakfast (toasts & coffee).

06:00am: Shower, put on makeup, get dressed for work.

06:30am: Get out of the doors, start morning commute.

08:30am:  Arrive at work, turn on my computer and briefly socialize with my
               colleagues around the water cooler. My official office hour starts at 9:00 am
               but I start checking my office emails before that. From here, I start to lose
               track of my day...

12:30pm: Lunch (usually takeouts from restaurants downstairs).

01:00pm: Work resumes.  (I'm supposed to have 1 hour for lunch, but it doesn't matter
               since I'm a salaried employee, not an hourly employee.)

07:00pm: Leave work (35% of the time I leave work at 7pm. 40% of the time I can't leave
               until it is long after 7:00pm, and 25% of the time I get to leave work at
               6:30pm).

08:00pm:  Stop by restaurant to pick up takeouts ordered from my iphone apps.

08:30pm:  Have dinner alone while watching the new Gilmore Girls.

09:30pm:  Clean off makeup and shower.

10:00pm:  Go on Facebook to check out the latest bragging photos from  my friends
                and relatives. Thank god, my mom isn't on Facebook.

11:30pm:  Write my blogs if I don't get too depressed after logging off Facebook.

12:30pm:  Read a few pages of a book that I bought too long ago, and then dozing off
                into a dream world until the alarm clock screams at 5:30am to repeat the rat
                race.

Gee, does my daily life suck?  Are yours much better than mine? I'm interested in becoming a freelance translator so I can eventually quit my job and work from home at my own hours.  If you need any quality Chinese to English or English to Chinese translation service, please contact me.
