What does a day in the life of an astrophysicist/cosmologist look like?

What does one do during the day? Would you study research that has come out about new materials and other things, try to come up with theories, or try to find flaws in theories that have been brought up?

What proficiency would be considered paramount in scientific fields?

I understand that people in these fields need to be proficient in science and critical thinking, as well as curious. Can you tell me more about how these factors are used in your work, if at all? Which of these, if any, would you find most important for your line of work?
