taking small steps to progression!

week in my life as a new lawyer

week in my life as a new lawyer

May 5, 2025

First one as a lawyer!

Welcome to my first Week in My Life blog post as a LAYWER! If you’re new to this blog, I do week-in-my-life blog posts every quarter for the purposes of looking back on them and seeing how far I have gone. You can check out my previous week in my life blog posts at the end.

Where am I now? In my recent week in my life blog post, I was working full-time at a law firm as a law graduate, and was just about to get admitted as a lawyer.

And now, I am officially a lawyer! Yay.

How have routines been lately?

I work full-time, 9 to 5, from Monday to Friday.

Just like my previous week in my life blog posts, I will explain what each day typically looks like. It doesn’t look the same every week, however, there are many activities that are on my fixed schedule.

Monday

I am currently working from 9 to 5 on Monday. I usually don’t have any fixed activities after work. So, that is when I am most free to plan catch-ups, go to networking events, solo dates, at-home solo dates, church things, and pretty much anything.

  • 5:00am – wake up, morning habits
  • 6:00am – leave house for the train station
  • 6:00am-6:40am – train ride to the city while I do my content work
  • 6:40am-7:40am – arrive in the city, then do some more content work
  • 7:40am-8:15am – morning walk in the city
  • 8:15am-9:00am – freshen up, have breakfast, post some content
  • 9:00am-5:00pm – work
  • 5:00pm onwards – finish up content tasks, then any activities planned for the day

Tuesday

Tuesday is also the full 9 to 5. The only fixed commitment I have afterward is church in the evenings.

  • 5:00am – wakeup, morning habits
  • 6:00am – leave the house for the train station
  • 6:00am-6:40am – train ride to the city while I do my content work
  • 6:40am-7:40am – arrive in the city, then do some more content work
  • 7:40am-8:15am – morning walk in the city
  • 8:15am-9:00am – freshen up, have breakfast, post some content
  • 9:00am-5:00pm – work
  • 5:00pm-6:00pm – train ride back, do content work, church
  • 6:00pm onwards – church

Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are also my full 9 to 5. It’s the same schedule as Monday.

Sometimes on Fridays, I work from home, so it saves the commuting :))

Saturday & Sunday

Saturdays are when I have choir practice, church, and other church activities. Sunday is a completely flexible day.

While Saturday I get pretty busy with church activities, Sundays change from time to time. I either have a bunch of activities going on, or I have some rest. Either way, I fit in my weekly reset routine somewhere in the day to set myself up for the week.

To Wrap Up

I’m pretty excited to see where the next few months take me, so looking forward to checking in with the next week-in-my-life blog post then.

Also, by the time I post my next one, my new book will already be released on Amazon! I talk about it on here.

See you then x
