Kind of Schedule
Breaking your day into chunks helps you be the best you, as too much time spent doing one thing can cause you to lose focus, and interest. And if you're working on something you don't really want to do, it makes it easier because you only have to do it for a short while.
Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek , is a master of this, as he sets his daily schedule in a way that doesn't keep him on the same task for very long. Here's what a "typical" day looked like for Tim a few years back:
- 10 a.m.: Breakfast
- 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.: Radio interviews and idea generation
- 12: Work out
- 12:30: Lunch
- 1:00 to 5: Writing (but not for the entire time)
- 5:30: Dinner
- 6:30 to 8.30: Jiu-jitsu training
- 9: Dinner
- 10: Ice bath and shower
- 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.: Relax
