SCHEDULE ALL THE THINGS.

If you don’t, you’re an amateur. Here’s a sampling of a day that podcaster Andrew Huberman, author Cal Newport, or Tim Ferriss might approve:

• 6am: wake up, meditate, workout, shower/self-care/coffee/journal
• 8am: write for 3 hours, including a book chapter and blog post, in a perfectly ergonomic setup and atmosphere optimized to hit a state of flow
• 11:30am: walk, lunch with lots of Omega 3s
• 12:30pm: record podcast, or give a presentation, or Very Important Deep Work
• 3pm: lift weights for an hour; mindfulness practice, walk
• 5pm: Very Important Deep Work
• 6:30pm: dinner, social time with family
• 8pm: read, think Very Important Deep Thoughts, shower, journal, daily review, sleep
