With the addition of a job, I’ve finally developed some kind of a ‘normal’ day! I’m excited because this allows me the stability and good habits I’ve wanted for a long time, but couldn’t do them because I couldn’t predict plan a day, let alone a week!
So here’s my approximate daily routine:
• Wake up, 6:00 to 8:00, depending on late night working the night before
• Business (networking or working at home, typically reading business news and scheduling my social media posts for the day). Sometimes the networking starts at 7:30. I miss these 50% of the time because I am often working until 1 or so. That’s where I could hone up my tendencies. I do this until lunch, often there are lunch networking events
• Go to work until evening. I usually leave work by 4, 5, or 6
• Evening free time: I get to do what I want. Frequently (3 to 4 days per week), I just happen to want to do business-type things. Either client meetings after work at one of my offices or networking of some variety. This is also when I host my social events. If I had a lady-friend, this would potential be an opportunity to see her, but we would mostly see each other on the weekends
• About 8 or 9, I go for a run. After I get home, I go directly to the gym for weight stuff. I mix abs and a protein shake somewhere in there. The protein shake is usually dinner, along with fruit. I basically eat a lot of fruit, as I’ve used it to replace cookies (well, usually….)
• After I get home from the gym, I have free time. I use this to clean, type notes here, work a bit, or do whatever
• Go to bed hopefully by 12ish. When I spend this free time working, it turns into 2 because I get on a roll. Then I miss my 7:30 networking
I am so very happy! This is a sustainable routine, and it’s making me super healthy and obtain my goals! Believe it or not, I actually prefer being stable!
