| My schedule is derived from my priorities. Health - if I'm not healthy, I'm no good to anyone. Family/Friends - wife first, children second, friends third. Career/Work/Finances. Wake up at around 5 every morning. I wake up around 4:30 - 5 most mornings. That's the time my wife wakes up As the dev lead, I have to juggle being in the office and interacting with the rest of the team and other departments with actual development. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursday's. My wife leaves home at 5:00 and my son wakes up at 6:30. That's the prime time for me to have uninterrupted quiet time. Monday,Wednesday,Friday 5:00 - 6:30, study, go through my RSS feed, maybe spend some time working on proof of concepts that aren't job related to learn a new technology. 6:30 make sure my son is up, get ready for work. 7:15 - 8:30. Commute to work, listen to podcasts. 8:30 - 6:00 Work 6:00 - 7:15 Commute, call my wife, listen to podcasts. 7:15 - 9:00. Spend time with my wife and son (if he feels like it - typical teenager) 9:00 sleep Tuesday/Thursday 5:00 - 6:30, study, go through my RSS feed, maybe spend some time working on proof of concepts that aren't job related to learn a new technology. 6:30 - 5:00 Work 5:00 - 6:30 Workout and catch up on TV, watch a PluralSight course, or listen to a podcast. We converted a bedroom to a home gym with weights, a treadmill and an elliptical. My wife has outside hobbies including going to a fitness classes that are usually on these days. So if I want to work, study, or workout longer these days. I can - especially with no commute. Saturday/Sunday No set schedule, but I do workout another 90 minutes both days and might study some depending on what's going on with the family. But after working out, family first. |
