Zen of productivity

 I guess today was the most un productive day. Reason may be my initial time spent on Mobile. I got up and after morning freshen up, I checked my mobile and my wife's. I want to see her bakery business grow but found someone psted nice menu in our apt whatsapp group and felt a jolt in our effort. Although it was not so serious, just a virtual threat which my brain indicated. Second youtube video I saw was one fraud over OLX and call. It just reminded me fraud happened with me couple of years back. This pushed me in a sad state of mind and I didn't feel like doing anything. It took me 3-4 hours almost to completely recover from this. SO routine is: 8:30AM Getup 9:30AM ready 9:30AM - 10:30AM sit with kids5PM  10:30AM to 11:AM Juice breakfast 11AM to 12PM worrk on bakery photos. 12PM to 1PM take kids around for shopping 1;30PM to 2PM Lunch 2Pm to 3:30PM Dentist Prasun 3:30PM to 5Pm bakery photos. 7Pm to midnight office work, mobile distraction, watch video 1AM finish office work a
