There is no such thing as a typical work day. Channel your enthusiasm and it will serve you well. Don’t bother getting side tracked thinking about what’s you will do “this evening”. Social life is irrelevant while you are working....there’s plenty of time for that once your project has been completed. STAY FOCUSED.
