My Current Daily Routine
ByMorning
- Wake up at 5 AM- I formed this habit by focusing on it for 30 days in January. Ask me how!
- Usually I post to Twitter- just a trigger for my early wake up ( I try not to check email, but it’s tough).
- 5:15 AM- I break open God’s word- usually I focus on reading assignments from my discipleship class.
- 5:45 AM- I read another book (currently I’m finishing Tony Dungy’s 1st book and a church history book).
- 6:00 AM- I take a shower and get dressed (two days a week I shave my big bald head).
- 6:30 AM- I have a quick meeting with a man about a mule and have my calls held. I also stretch for 20 min.
- I usually turn off the radio and enjoy some quiet prayer time and listening time on the way to Java Brewing Co.
- 7:15 AM- I have old fashioned oatmeal with raisins, water, vibe-and I start into the dark roast no/c-no/s.
- I typically read another quick devotional or pamphlet or a snip of the paper while I eat.
- 7:30 AM- I start through my daily GTD review session. This is a scaled down version of the weekly review.
- 8:30 AM- People start rolling into the coffee shop and I usually begin to write or do marketing for an hour.
- 9:30 AM- I pack it up and head home or to clients or to another favorite cafe. Tasks vary widely at this point.
Afternoon
- I eat a light lunch- either left overs from our dinner the night before, hummus and pita bread or soup/salad.
- Sometimes after lunch my wife and I debrief about the kids, scheduling, company tasks or her resale business.
Evening
- 6:00 PM- Dinner with the family nearly every night- it’s rare that I miss this.
- 6:30 PM- The whole family hangs out and then cleans up after dinner. Daddy is the pickup organizing guy.
- 7:30 PM- Bath time for kiddos and then story, family prayer time and bedtime at 8:15 PM.
- 8:15 – 11:00 PM- Ashley and I spend time together, or we work. Usually I write, develop word press sites, manage online marketing efforts for customers or do creative projects like videos. On the weekends we watch movies, play games or do hobbies. I only plan on doing this nightly work routine until I don’t have to any longer.
I would love to know what works for you. If you would like, you can fill out this Google form. If your daily routine is interesting or amazingly productive or unique; I’ll publish it. Of course I reserve the right not to. I would love to see what other people do for a daily routine. You never know how a little tip or idea here or there can benefit someone else.
