I walk up in the morning: do some morning run and shower before heading to work. While in office read through relevant articles relating to my work to understand and expand my knowledge of the topic. Find out gaps from the reading and its implication in my work. Go to the field to talk to people about my research topic by asking them questions on what they think about the topic usually in form of a conversation.
