| Are the 9pm and later calls w/Bangalore an every day thing? Here's my routine. 5am: wake up/coffee 5:30ish: gym 6:30ish: back, clean kitchen, take out trash, make lunch for 2 kids 7:30: nanny arrives, and I sit down at desk, and kids are now awake 8:30: walk older kid to school 9-5:30: work or whatever else. I run my own business so some days feel very busy, some the opposite. I just try to be intentional with my time. 5:30 p: start dinner 6:30 p: dinner (or earlier depending on demands) 7:30 p: kid bed time 8:15-8:30: done w/kids. time for a bit of TV or wind-down, catch up with my wife about her day for as long as I can manage to stay awake 9:30-10: bed time (ideal day) I stopped working at night unless it is critical for a next-morning thing. That leaves me absent from some opportunities that I might otherwise get spending more time on work, but I also have more time to focus on me/marriage/non-work-life My point in sharing is that I make space on purpose for me. Your schedule sounds (and I am presuming) like you don't have much time for you. Is that right? |
