Very Impressive. Please answer the following questions if possible so mere mortals can learn from.

How much time do you spent on creating vs learning(meaning studying algorithms or anything that will be useful to creating(coding)).

Do you learn regularly.

Do you learn on the days while you create too.

Do you watch TV? If yes what shows do you watch ?

Do you watch youtube to which channels do you subscribe ? Never mind. I found this for those who are interested https://www.youtube.com/user/FogleBird/channels

Do you do exercise ?

Coffee or Tea ?

Does you boss complain about your job as you are very active with side projects ? (or) may be do you think he feels sad about spending all the creative energy on outside work.

What advice do you give for a 2 year experienced guy who wants to be as productive as you ?

How many hours do you sleep perday? Do you sleep at the same time?

Do you listen to music while coding ?

I learn as I go, as needed to get done whatever I'm trying to accomplish. Some projects require a significant amount of "learning" while others may require almost none.

No TV really. I do read books sometimes. Most recently: The Vital Question, Sapiens, Buzz Aldrin and Elon Musk's bios.

Not much exercise these days. Sometimes I'll get into running a couple times a week, but not lately.

Tea. Once or twice a day. Coffee rarely (~once a month).

No complaints at work, I get excellent reviews.

I go to sleep around 11pm and wake up around 8:30 - 9am. Sleep longer on the weekends.

Music while coding: sometimes. If I'm in "the zone", the music will be playing but I'm not conscious of it.

All in all, pretty uninteresting, right? :)

Not at all. Ten hours of sleep a day for this amount of productivity is pretty interesting. Thanks very much for answering.
