1:21night.
1:22>> It sounds very interesting.
1:25Sometimes people think routine is a
1:28boring word.
1:30>> M maybe. But I think our routines can be
1:34very different and very interesting.

3:56very different.
3:57>> Tell me.
3:58>> I wake up early before the sun.
4:02>> Wow. Why?
4:05>> I love the quiet. The house is very
4:09quiet. No cars, no noise. It is just me.
4:15>> And what do you do?
4:16>> The first thing, the most important
4:19thing is coffee.
4:22>> Ah, yes. Coffee. Me too. I run from the
4:26bed to the coffee machine. [laughter]
4:30>> How do you like your coffee, Paul?
4:32>> I like it strong and black. No milk, no
4:37sugar, just coffee.
4:41>> M. Yes, I like my coffee with a little
4:46hot milk. It is very warm and nice.
4:51>> That sounds good. I drink my coffee and
4:55I look at my phone.
4:57>> Oh, no, not the phone. [laughter]
5:02Yes, I look at the news, emails.
5:06>> See, I don't look at my phone. I sit by
5:11the window with my coffee. I just think
5:16>> that is very calm. Maybe I should try
5:18that.
5:19>> It's very nice. Okay, so we have coffee.
5:24What about breakfast?
5:26>> Breakfast is very fast for me.
5:31Because I am late.
5:35[laughter]
5:36>> Yes,
5:36>> I eat toast.
5:39Just toast with butter or maybe a
5:44banana. Very easy.
5:46>> That is very fast. I like to eat a good
5:50breakfast. I eat yogurt with fruit or
5:55sometimes I make eggs.
5:58>> Eggs. Wow. Emily, you have a lot of
6:01time. [laughter]
6:03>> I wake up early.
6:05>> That's true. Okay. So, after breakfast,
6:09we get ready for the day.
6:11>> Yes. I take a shower. I like a very hot
6:17shower.
6:18>> Me, too. A hot shower is good for waking
6:23up.
6:23>> And then the difficult part. What?
6:29>> Choosing clothes. [laughter]
6:31>> Oh yes.
6:32>> I look in my closet. I have many
6:36clothes. Shirts, pants, dresses, and I
6:42always think
6:43>> what?
6:44>> I have nothing to wear. [laughter]
6:49>> Yes, I know that feeling.
6:52>> It is so silly. I have so many clothes.
6:56My system is very easy.
6:59>> What is your system, Paul?
7:01>> I only have blue shirts. [laughter]
7:08>> No, really?
7:10>> Yes. Blue shirts, white shirts, gray
7:14shirts. Very simple. I grab one. Done.
7:19>> Paul, that is very smart.
7:23[laughter]
7:24>> It is easy. No thinking. Thinking is for
7:28later.
7:29>> Okay. So, you have your blue shirt. I
7:33finally find a dress and then work.
7:39>> Yes. Time to go to work.
7:42>> How do you go to work? Do you drive?
7:45>> No, I take the bus.
7:47>> Uh, the bus. Is it good?
7:50>> It is okay.
7:54It is very crowded. Many many people.
7:58>> H I don't like crowded places.
8:02>> Me too. But I can listen to music. I put
8:09in my headphones and I listen to music
8:12or a podcast.
8:14>> Oh, a podcast.
8:17Good podcast. [laughter]

10:34>> Wow, Emily, you make eggs and a
10:36sandwich.

10:43every day is expensive. That is true,
10:47but I am not organized.
10:51>> So, you buy lunch?
10:53>> Yes, I go to a small cafe near my

10:59>> It is very good. And I like to walk for
11:0210 minutes. Get out of the office.

11:09>> And in the afternoon,
11:12I get very sleepy. Oh, yes. Around 300
11:17p.m.
