Wake: 6:00 AM In Bed By: 9:30 PM Sleep By: 10:00 PM

Fitbit with an ankle strap that tracks my sleep and goes off at 6.

Keep phone with alarm in bathroom at 6:15. I should already be awake by now and will turn the alarm off before it begins as to not wake anyone.

I have a little script that has all my tasks and creates a spreadsheet for each day with all the tasks that I want to get done in the morning. I print the schedule off a week at a time. I do not use my phone in the morning before work, other than to turn off the alarm.

Siempo installed on my android phone to reduce screen time.

Citibike (I live in nyc) to work and get into office by 7.

Eat with coworkers over lunch and bond.

Work until 6 and go home.

WFH 2 times a month, trying to do it more.

I lock my tv remote and tv cord in a kitchen safe box 4 times a week so I don't watch tv -> https://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Safe-Locking-Container-Height...

I have a life time subscription to the freedom app that blockers internet.

I have a apple script that runs via a cron job that grayscales my home computer every 15 minutes

I use stretchly which makes me take micro breaks every 5 minutes.

I work in tech, but try like hell to not use tech outside of work. Its tough but doing so makes me much happier and it makes the days feel much much longer

Well done. I feel so inadequate now. Kidding. I think a disciplined schedule like yours is what we should strive for.

3 free hours a day? Do you feel it’s enough?

[angulareact]

I do get a little burned out every 7-8 weeks, which then for about a week my schedule falls apart and I'm just super lazy for that week.

3 hours without a screen is actually a long time tho. It feels like forever.

I've noticed people have a similar schedule to mine although they get much less sleep and increase the amount of tv or video games. I'd rather get more sleep and have less of that type of free time.

What about weekends?

[angulareact]

Weekends I wake up same time.

I usually leave my phone at home and bike to a park first thing in the morning and just bike around until I'm tired of biking.

When I get home and realize I only biked for 2 hours and theres still 12 hours of the day left and I don't want to use electronics it's a pretty crazy feeling.

Weekends honestly feel like a bit of a waste since I'm so focused on productive tasks all week long. I try to do one thing every weekend that I haven't done before, maybe watch a broadway play or go to a farmers market, go on a free tour etc.

Another thing I've been doing lately if since I get to work by 7, on the weekdays I can leave early like 4 if I want to, so in lower manhattan there are a ton of museums on certain days they are free. So I just leave work at 4 and go to those museums
