Wake up ~5:30am. Get dressed, brush my teeth, and make a black breakfast tea. go for a 20 minute walk. Change into workout clothes, workout til ~6:30am (I have a full garage gym -- strength is Mon, Weds, Fri, and conditioning is Tues, Thurs, and Sat). Shower, morning face and hair routine, get dressed, get my wife and kids stirred and moving. Get downstairs, get breakfast started, pack lunches, out of the house by 7:30am to get my twin girls to school (I take them Tues, Weds, Thurs, my wife takes them Mon and Fri) or leave the house at 8:15am to get my son to school. On Tuesdays, I meet a friend at a climbing gym near work at 9am. We climb top-rope or do some bouldering til around 9:50am. I get to the office around 10 or 10:10am, check email, check overnight processes, check ops dashboards. Standup at 10:30am. Focus time from around 11am til 12:30pm when I take lunch. Work through the afternoon, leave around 5pm to get kids. Generally home around 5:30pm and we start our evening routine which runs us til 8pm. If there's work to finish, I finish it. A few nights a week my wife and I will watch some TV together, discuss family / household stuff, etc... The other nights I practice my Mandarin, read, walk, listen to podcasts, light YouTube stuff, or some combination of it all, and then I'm generally in bed by 10pm.

Do not forget mobility.
Yep, I get mobility work in pretty much every day. Generally at night after we've eaten dinner as a family, I'll do some mobility drills and foam rolling, etc., while we're doing other activities before bedtime.
What mobility exercises do you prefer? Any particular routine you can recommend?
