6:00 am: Rise from bed. 6:15 - 6:30: Dumbbell exercise and wall-scaling. 7:15 - 8:15: Study electricity, etc. 8:30 - 4:30: Work. 4:30 - 5:00: Baseball and sports. 5:00 - 6:00: Practice elocution, poise and how to attain it. 7:00 - 9:00: Study needed inventions.

I'm pretty sure this is from The Great Gatsby -- I remember the dumbbell part. Am I right?

I'm not sure if you want to do that (I'm not THAT interesting) but here it is. Oh and I'm 27, in Paris, single, C++ dev. (I think it's important, most of the schedules here, I think, depend on the age !)

9:30 wake up, brush teeth

9:40 leave my appt, ride my scooter

9:55 arrive at the coffee shop near the office : take my coffee outside, with first cigarette of the day.

10:00 login to my computer, check emails, review todo list.

10:05 start working

13:30 eat a sandwich at my desk: check HN,Reddit,google news,specialized french newspapers, watch "le zapping of canal +" (a mini video of 5 minutes with funny tv cuts from the day before)

14:00 work

16:30 coffee with my 2 coworkers

19:00 leave the office

Then either I go to have a drink somewhere with some friends, or go&eat at some friend place.

If I go directly to my place, then it's

20:00 switch the TV on to watch the news while cooking (If I didn't take away on the road back)

21:00 watch a movie or some TV series

22:00 SHOWER TIME § YHAHOO !!!

23:00 reddit, HN, techcrunch, everything...

24:00 go to sleep and continue doing nothing very interesting, on my iPhone

01:00 sleep !

One thing that surprised me is that most hackers here work out physically regularly.

I do as well, and I also find post-workout protein drinks are essential. I tried not using them for 2 weeks and found the lack of them rendered my workouts totally meaningless (I track weight and body fat, another good thing to do).
