My daily routine is unbeatable: I wake up at 4:00 am every morning. Write a whole week's worth of content. Then I'll read for 30 minutes. Hit 5-6 miles on the treadmill. Shower with a podcast on. Then my workday starts: - Look over an investment - Prep for client meetings - Finish a project Every afternoon I call my parents at 4 pm on the nose. Then I'll usually Peloton (or yoga), take a cold shower, and then wrap the work day with some journaling. My wife and I have a super healthy dinner. A chapter or two more of reading, 10-minute quick meditation, a cup of tea, and in bed by 9:45p. Smile as I nod off. Feels awesome. The. Absolute. Perfect. Day. ----- It's also a load of horsesh*t. A silly made-up fairytale peddled ad nauseam by productivity "gurus". Every time you read something like this, just remember that humans aren't designed to be productivity machines. In fact, one of my favorite productivity hacks is to stop trying to be so damn productive all of the time. We all need a break. - Sleep in - Eat a donut - Drink a beer - Take a day off - Skip working out - Don't write that day Whatever. Life, entrepreneurship, and literally anything else worth doing is a marathon. Not 10,000 "perfect morning routines" strung together. With this in mind, I hope you have a fun week.
