[copied from someone’s LinkedIn Profile]
wake up at 4:30 am every morning.
Write an entire week's worth of content.
Read for 30 minutes. Take a 6-mile walk. Shower.
Listen to a podcast before my workday starts.
- Look over an investment opportunity.
- I have 2-3 client meetings lined up.
- Complete a business project.
Every afternoon I call my parents at 4 pm on the nose.
Then I Peloton.
Shower again.
My wife and I have a super healthy dinner.
30 more min of reading.
A quick meditation.
A cup of tea.
In bed by 9:45p. Feeling awesome.
Smile as I nod off.
The perfect day.
It's also not true.
It's just a silly made-up fairytale.
Every time you read something like this, just remember that human beings weren't designed to be productivity machines.
In fact, one of my favorite “productivity hacks” is to stop trying to be productive all of the time.
So…
Sleep in.
Eat a donut.
Drink a beer.
Take a day off.
Skip working out.
Don't write that day.
Whatever.
Life, entrepreneurship, and literally anything else worth doing are a marathon.
Not 10,000 “perfect morning routines” strung together.
With this in mind, I hope you have a fun week.
