7:30 a.m.: My first alarm goes off and I quickly check what notifications I received while I was sleeping. Anything urgent, I answer right away. Thankfully nothing was urgent!
8:30 a.m.: On my drive to work, I listen to Spotify. Today I listened to playlist of throwbacks that I personally created. I stopped for crispy bacon and scrambled eggs on an egg bagel- something I treat myself to every Friday morning.

9:30 a.m.: I turn on the TV at work to Young Sheldon, and watch an episode while eating breakfast. The TV is mostly used as background noise while I wait for the morning meeting with my boss.
11:00 a.m.: I go on Amazon to make a purchase. I need a house warming gift and of course I waited until last minute. Thankfully having a Prime membership saved the day. I bought an Instant Pot (actually got a really great deal- almost 50% off!) and a silicone roasting rack to use with it. Before I made my purchase on Amazon, I did check other places such as Target and Walmart to find the best price.
12:00 p.m.: Time for lunch! Today I brought pot roast, strawberries, and grapes. While I eat, I work on some school work. After doing some work, I open one of the Instagram messages my friend sent me. It was a post about ‘retail therapy’ and the psychological effect it has. There are a few others that she sent also related to shopping.
1:00 p.m.: I make a bunch of phone calls for an upcoming work event. I set up appointments to meet with vendors and booked the venue. This one is for the “unofficial” start to Summer in The Hamptons. It is probably my favorite event to plan.
5 p.m.: When I get home it is time to do chores and eat dinner. No media was consumed during this time frame. When I do chores and eat I need it to be completely quiet and my phone goes away so I don’t get distracted. Part of today’s chores was going through my closets and dressers. I was able to donate 4 bags of clothes- yay! I was able to get rid of clothes that I have been holding onto for years thinking I will wear them soon but I haven’t.
9 p.m.: Time to work on homework until I go to sleep.
Today was a very light day in regard to media usage. I also discovered in my media usage that I don’t really listen, watch or read anything that needs to be fact checked or where I question it’s credibility. I’ll check and read weather reports from Accuweather or a Facebook page called Islandwide Weather, but that’s about it. It’s definitely something that I should incorporate more into my day.
I don’t normally fact check Accuweather or Islandwide Weather because they are pretty spot on. If anything, I’ll check them against each other and compare what each has to say. The weather is always a gamble though and not one source is always going to be 100% correct.
