Daily Schedule

Let's be up front: I don't have any strictness to any of this. I make very few plans, hold no precise hours, I barely even look at the time most of the day and just do stuff as I feel like it / it comes up.

But my normal pattern seems to be roughly:

Time	Activity
4:30	Wake up, stay in bed
	Read books, twitter, catch up mastodon, general RSS feed news
6:30	Shower
	Wander down and grab a quick snack / power shake
7:15	At my desk, turn on computer
	Do projects like this, writing, reading blogs, etc
8:30	Start working on real client work
13-14:00	Natural end to working productivity. I get about 6 solid hours a day
	Shut down PC, wander downstairs, make lunch
	Since a podcast was probably playing while lunching, finish on couch
15:00	Do sudokus while on couch with podcasts
15:30	I'm just going to rest my eyes...
16:30	Wake up from nap
	Maybe more sudoku or read or something
	Browse internet on laptop, maybe go get groceries
18-19:00	Go to the gym, get groceries on way home
19:00	Make supper
20:00	This is the time I wish I had more of a hobby that wasn't computer based
21-22:00	Getting ready for bed and sleeping

So I usually get about 8 hours a night OR 6-7 + nap which seems to work out similarly, although I think a 30 minute nap is worth about an hour+ of sleep.

The gym time is either in the evening before the close and it's quiet, or sometimes in the morning when it's quiet and everyone is at work. The parking gets a little tricky in the day though because the hospital itself is using it for... hospital things and there's a lot of construction in surrounding neighborhoods as they're building like crazy down there right now.

I tend to do 4-6 really good hours of work per day, and maybe a few more if it's really demanded of me, or I put off emails and non-brain work to other computer time hours in the afternoon / morning.

Doing 40 hour weeks is my version of a sprint.

I don't have an alarm clock, haven't in years - when I was a kid I had a paper route and I think that just built getting up early into me or something. I don't know why. I just wake up early, always have.

My most brain-productive hours are between 06:00 and 11:00 so of course I schedule work during those.

On the whole my afternoon / evenings are pretty breezy. I've been gearing up to do more hobby work / experimenting to have something enjoyable to do in those hours that aren't client work.
