Let me illustrate how my “everyday” schedule works.
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 5:30-5:45 | Wake up + hygiene |
| 5:45-6:00 | Exercises |
| 6:00-6:10 | Shower |
| 6:10-6:30 | Spiritual study + prayer |
| 6:30-7:00 | Personal coding projects/Reading programming books |
| 7:00-7:15 | Preparing food for work |
| 7:15-8:30 | Drive to work + listening to audiobooks at 1.5x |
| 8:30-17:30 | Work |
| 17:30-18:30 | Drive back home + listening to podcasts at 1.5x |
| 18:30-22:00 | Dinner + family time |
| 22:00-22:30 | Reading |
| 22:30-5:30 | Sleep |
And this is how most of my days actually go.
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 6:30-6:45 | Wake up + hygiene |
| 6:45-7:00 | Getting dressed + maybe reading one page from Bible + one short prayer |
| 7:00-7:20 | Eating + preparing some food for work |
| 7:20-8:30 | Drive to work + chatting with my wife + listening to the radio |
| 8:30-17:30 | Work |
| 17:30-18:30 | Drive back home + chatting with my wife + maybe listening to a "Friends" episode and laughing all the way back home |
| 18:30-22:30 | Dinner + family time + TV + putting the kids to bed |
| 22:30-23:00 | Wasting time on some game on my phone + 9Gag |
| 23:00-6:30 | Sleep |
I would have liked that this article would be a “how-to” article, but it’s not.
If I would have more days more like the first category, that would be good, but most of them are like the second category.
The only thing I should definitely change is the phone gaming and 9Gag browsing. Any other suggestions?
How do you guys stick to a schedule? Do you have any routines that seem more efficient than others?
