- Wake up on time (6am)
- Water
- Coffee
- Work before anyone else gets online to distract me
- Morning meetings
- Go on a long walk (I do 3 miles but you do whatever works for you)
- Lunch & give my cat some attention
- Afternoon work now that everyone else is in a food coma and won't bother me
- At around 3~4 I do something fun like practice guitar to start unwinding from work
- food and socializing until bed time (8pm)
If at any point I get off track then I immediately go on another walk (this one can be shorter but it's better if it isn't). To ensure I go to bed on time (and by extension wake up earlier enough to be the first one online) I need to go on a walk everyday (no excuses).
I've always found it important to keep my socializing to a minimum while working. For whatever reason I hit executive fatigue a lot faster when I've been messaging people (especially multiple people) online
I've also found that heat kills my routine since it prevents me from sleeping properly. Sleep is the key to everything. Without good consistent sleep all of your symptoms will be worse
