生活中的一天：来自旧金山的Peace

Peace C., 24岁

雅虎设计师

加利福尼亚州旧金山

早上6:30：我从睡梦中醒来，准备去赶公司提供的班车。每天早上，我都在旧金山上车，在桑尼维尔—雅虎总部所在地下车。

上午9:15：在办公室里，我匆匆解决掉早餐（蔬果汁、水果和鸡蛋），然后走向我的办公桌。我做的第一件事是查看新的电子邮件和今天的日程表。

上午10:30：我上楼去参加每日“站立”会议（产品、工程和设计的进度会议）。这有助于整个团队获得彼此的工作情况更新，了解优先事项、目标和重要公告。

上午11:00：今天晚些时候，我将在全公司的每周例会上发言，所以我前往舞台，去和其他两位同事一起提前排练。我们将和大家分享视频团队进行的两个创新项目的情况更新。

中午12:30：视频设计小组一起前往主餐厅解决午餐。今天，我选择用鸡肉和牛肉搭配我的蔬菜沙拉，我的同事们则决定吃寿司。

下午1:30：我利用接下来的几个小时就新的设计和互动开展工作，并与工程师密切合作，将这些体验变为现实。我目前正在从事多个项目，所以我必须在一天中与不同的产品经理、工程师以及其他设计师安排会面。

下午3:00：我为另一个项目迅速进行设计变更，并向几位同事请教我的互动和流程是否说得通。最后，我们往往会一起集思广益一个更完善或更智慧的解决方案！

下午4:00：现在到了下午的提神时间，所以我和另一个团队的几个朋友一起下楼去咖啡吧。我点了一杯美式咖啡来为今天的最后一段工作加油。

下午4:30：现在是开全公司每周例会的时候了—数以千计的员工在会上获得来自公司不同团队的情况更新，庆祝公司取得的胜利，并有机会向雅虎的高管们提问。我登上舞台对一款视频产品进行现场演示。从眼角的余光中，我看到我的团队在为我加油鼓劲。

下午5:45：今天是星期五！我跳上班车返回旧金山。幸运的是，交通状况不算太糟，所以我在一个半小时之后就到家了。

晚上8:00：我争取更多在家做饭，所以我炒了一些蔬菜，还烤了红薯。

晚上9:00：我花了点时间为一个编外项目设计了一些标志，因为我明天要和一位客户通电话。

晚上10:00：我准备睡觉了，这样我明天就可以参加一节拳击早课。这次，我要把室友也带上！

A Day in the Life: Peace from San Francisco

Peace C., 24

Yahoo Designer

San Francisco, California

6:30AM: I wake up and get ready to catch a bus provided by my company. Each morning, I get picked up in San Francisco and dropped off at Sunnyvale, where Yahoo is headquartered. 

9:15AM: At the office, I grab some breakfast (green juice, fruit, and eggs) and then head towards my desk. The first thing I do is catch up on emails and take a look at my calendar for the day. 

10:30AM: I head upstairs to join a daily ‘standup’ (a progress meeting with product, engineering, and design). This helps the entire team receive an update on each other’s work and understand priorities, goals, and important announcements. 

11AM: I will be speaking at our weekly company-wide meeting later today, so I head to the stage to practice ahead of time with two other coworkers. We will be sharing an update on two innovation projects the video team has been working on. 

12:30PM: The video design team heads down to the main cafeteria together to grab lunch. Today, I choose to get chicken and beef with my green salad, while my coworkers decide to get sushi. 

1:30PM: I utilize the next few hours working on new designs and interactions, and working closely with engineers to bring these experiences to life. I am currently working on multiple projects so it’s important for me to set up meetings with various product managers, engineers, and other designers throughout the day. 

3PM: I make quick design changes for another project and ask a few colleagues if my interactions and flows make sense. Usually, we end up brainstorming a better or smarter solution, together! 

4PM: It’s time for an afternoon pick-me-up, so I head downstairs to the coffee bar with a few friends from another team. I order an Americano to fuel up for the last stretch. 

4:30PM: It’s time for our weekly company-wide meeting– at which thousands of employees receive updates from different teams around the company, celebrate company wins, and have an opportunity to ask questions to Yahoo executives. I get on stage to give a live demo on a video product while I see my team cheering me on out of the corner of my eye. 

5:45PM: It’s Friday! I hop on the bus to return to San Francisco. Luckily, traffic isn’t too bad so I get back home in an hour and a half. 

8PM: I’m trying to cook more at home so I sauté some vegetables and roast sweet potatoes. 

9PM: I spend some time designing logos for a side project, since I have a call with a client tomorrow. 

10PM: I get ready for bed so that I can attend an early boxing class tomorrow. This time, I’m bringing my housemate with me!
