#34Single dude living in SF bay area.. This is my schedule for work days - - 05:55 wake up and get ready - 06:30 to 08:00 work on my own biz - 08:00 to 08:20 breakfast / coffee - 08:30 to 17:00 work. If I crush a lot of work that day, sometimes I end around 16:00 since most of my team is East Coast and UK. After work I prep for dinner, keep working on my projects, and then drive 5 min west to the beach right before suns…
Hey thanks, I’m going to try this schedule. I also am 5 minutes from the beach and this sounds really relaxing after work

#37Wake up at six. Drink coffee, and have a morning cigarette.
At seven I walk to my wife's house, wake up our child, feed him and take him to school.
Back home around eight AM, drink another coffee, turn on the laptop about 08:30 and work until four. Take an hours lunch break and walk around the neighbourhood for some air, space, and more smoking.

#38I live alone, in my 40s. I work for a tech company.
I wake up around 6:30 am, twitter, some reading, there is always something to do around the house. Coffee and podcast or South-American radios on Radio Garden (great app) for 30 minutes.
Work starts at 9 am. Multiple coffees. Three times a week, I go to the gym at 11:30 am until 1 pm. Or I go for a run. I stop working around 3:30 pm. At 5 or 6 pm, I either go to bjj or the gym (if I did not go earlier) or to kickboxing. When I don't go out at night, dinner is between 8 and 9 pm. After that, I either write, watch a movie/tv show, or I read. Good night.

#40I'm impressed with how few of you while away your slow hours playing video games.
I recently "retired" from a major position after nearly a decade of 14 hour days and even though I took a couple of months off (and I am starting two new projects), I still love the freedom to just slack off and play Elden Ring for a couple hours every now and then.
It's not the most productive time in my life but that's OK. I'm sure it won't last, but it is so damn nice to be able to relax again after several decades of stress and high performance.
