Do the hard work, especially when you don’t feel like it

Here’s my daily routine:

Morning

  • 7:00 AM: Wake up, get out of bed, drink a glass of water, and walk straight into cold shower.
  • 7:05 AM: Brush my teeth, make my bed, and meditate for 5 minutes.
  • 7:10 AM: On a paper notebook, write down:
    • What I’m grateful for
    • What I want to achieve today
    • What I’m going to do to achieve it
  • 7:15 AM: Go for a morning walk or run under direct sunlight for 15 minutes.
  • 7:45 AM: Take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and drink coffee.
  • 8:00 AM: Start working on the most mentally challenging task for the day.

Afternoon

  • 12:00 PM: Eat lunch and take supplements.
    • Fish oil
    • Vitamin D3
    • Vitamin B Complex
  • 3:00 PM: Take an hour break to do chores and miscellaneous tasks.
  • 4:00 PM: More work.

Evening

  • 6:00 PM: Hit the gym and train for 1 hour.
  • 7:00 PM: Drink a protein shake and eat dinner.
  • 8:00 PM: More work.

Night

  • 11:00 PM: Stop working and do some journaling.
  • 12:00 AM: Go to bed.

Some non-negotiable hard rules:

  • No social media.
  • No meetings before 12:00 PM.
  • No scrolling on social media at any given time.
    • It is a tool for making money, not for entertainment.
