I’m trying to get a daily routine established so I can work similar hours every day. As of the past two weeks I’ve kept a pretty similar schedule, and I think I’ll probably stick to it.
10:00 AM – Wake up and check some emails. Browse some forums and read my RSS feeds.
10:45 AM – Make breakfast and watch some Sportscenter
12:15 PM – Head to the gym to workout (MWF).
1:30 PM – Get home and check my commissions and see how my analytics were from the day before.
2:30 PM – Make lunch
3:00 PM – Write articles, build links, do research etc…
7:00 PM – Dinner
7:45 PM – Midnight – Watch the Indians game, do some reading, head out with friends, hang out with the gf etc…
On the weekends I usually don’t work at all. I’ll read some emails, and check some stats, but I usually don’t do any article writing or link building. Most of this time I’m out watching the Ohio State games, or out at the bar with all my friends.
I wanna hear what your day is like? It doesn’t matter if you’re self employed, or working 60 hours per week at a real job. Let’s get a good discussion going…

M/Th/F/S – up between 10 and 4 depending on if I worked the night before. Usually go for a bike ride then come back and work on my sites(content, links, etc.). After a few hours of that it’s usually nappy time until around 7. Eat dinner then head to work. I work as a valet at a night club. I like to think of it as “CPA” parking because of the outrageous numbers we charge the VIP’s to keep their cars up front. Usually get off around 3 or 4am. By the time I wind down it’s 5. If I am lucky I’m asleep by 5. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday are days off of my “job” and are the days I get the most work done. Believe it or not I actually dread the weekends and look forward to Monday. My current sleep schedule is all the motivation I need to keep working hard so I can cut back on this silly “real” job.
Ahh I used to valet as well. Fun times driving 100k dollar cars.
Right now my schedule is all over the place.. gotta set up some sort of system for that.. heck I might just test out your schedule for a couple weeks and see how I feel with it – you do pretty much the same things I do daily.. difference is that I haven’t set up a sched for it
How about doing an indepth look of that 3pm-7pm of “3:00 PM – Write articles, build links, do research etc…”.. maybe an example day of what you did during that time
Good idea Rod. I’ll save that for another post.
Usually it’s not planned out unless there’s something urgent that I am working on. Sometime I’ll just write articles all day, sometimes I’ll build links all day. I should probably set some goals for what I want to accomplish during that period of time.
Wake up at 9, breakfast normally looks like a bagel, banana and some milk.
Beat some suckers a couple of dimes. Then about 9:15 I go to Starbucks;-) OK, maybe 9:30
Take a bunch of business calls that make me no money. Then check with my assistant and see who feels motivated to get lunch today. at 1pm I head to Jimmy John’s (which oddly enough delivers).
Work Out until about 2:30. Wax suckers once again while trying to seem interested in the 4 active IM’s I have going on my opinion of the new UIGEA Regs. Uptick only $1500 this time, I must be slipping.
At 3:30 I take my Vespa and visit the ATM for my daily epassporte withdrawal, I can also do another one direct to my account, I still can’t get enough out each month so I take checks for the rest.
4:00 my daughters come home and it is “At Home Dad Time”.
Between 4-9 is a fog like state where I have to interact with my family. My wife comes home at about 6:15 and I make the moves on her. By 6:18 I am done, he he. Dinner is Chipolte, we eat out more than I wish we would.
My wife is putting the kids to bed tonight so I get in a quick session starting at 8:30, uptick 1 dime, they told me to three barrel on cardrunners I did it and lost. Still ended up for the session. 10 is High Stakes Poker and after that Anthony Bourdain. I am writing this at 1 am because I can’t get to sleep. Maybe it is because I wake up at 9 each day.
Justin, on Tuesdays/Thursdays, what do you do instead of hitting the gym?
Since I posted this, I started taking kickboxing/muay thai 3 days a week. I usually go on mon, tues and thurs.
