| - Wake up at 430-5 (Used to use an alarm, now it is a natural thing. I am also asleep by 930pm and usually catch a couple of naps over the weekend). - Take my dog out, hit the restroom, have breakfast - Train on my bike for 1-1.5 hours - Try real hard to catch my bus at 735. I usually miss nowadays, So I hitch a ride with my wife at 845 to the bus stop. - reach by 915 or so. Coffee and coding. I try to get some coding done in one block in the morning and one more in evening. - lunch at 1130 - HN at this time, and when am waiting for meetings etc. - ride back home by 630 or so. I reach by 730 or so. - couple of hours with the fam RE transition: I have tried many 'methods' and clocks etc. but nothing beats intrinsic motivation: I try to work towards that. (Having goals that matter, finding real work that I love etc). I ride and train hard on my bike because I want to. I work because I want to. There are days / weeks when I get into a slump when there is lower productivity, but C'est la vie. Trying hard to be productive is usually a drain / anxiety inducing thing for me anyway - so I have just come to accept the cycles in my life :) |
That is by far the largest thing keeping me from the "early to bed, early to rise" lifestyle. I like going out with people, or generally engaging with others at night.
