The perfect way to mourn your mundane life.
This is unironically close to my routine. I wake up at 5, walk the dog for 30-60 minutes, have breakfast, then start work before anyone else so I can get shit done before people start showing up. I wrap up my day around 2pm, walk for 1-2 hours, make dinner, then chill. It's worked well for me.
You forgot to tell us what time you lift weights
He walks the dog. He doesn't say anything about the dogs walking. I'm guessing he does dog curls on that walk.
I don't lift weights these days. I need to work on that.
I do love starting work before people start streaming in after 0900
This man's colleague when he's just wasted three hours doing work he didn't have to: "but I sent you an email three hours ago about it?"
By 10am? You reach 10am by step 4.
Also number 7 contradicts 4. Phone calls can be meetings. But what do I know.
Those are X in boxes next to those in step four. I believe they're saying "no phone calls, no emails and no dealing with notifications".
Imagine a cup of coffee being all you look forward to.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
every great accomplishment happens in the mornings if you're only ever awake during the mornings.
"No meetings before 2pm (when the eastern hemisphere people are going to sleep)" that'll go over well.
There is no way that 99% of meetings are a waste of time. Like, many 70%, tops.
There's also no way I can avoid meetings before 2pm, timezones exist and sometimes things are on fire. If I leave someone hanging because I care only about my own day, then I'm the asshole.
Cool, I don’t have meetings at my day job and I’m on the phone helping people through my entire day. If I worked for only three hours I might get sacked.
I don’t know who this person is, but I’m not sure they have a job.
The waiting 90 min for caffeine part is actually based on decent scientific evidence, but it's so damn hard.
Apparently the logic behind is that sleep neurotransmitters take a while to flush out in the morning, but drinking caffeine stops the flushing process and leaves you with leftover ones in your system. So as soon as the coffee wears off, you're way more likely to really crash.
I've tried to implement that habit, but ended up falling asleep at my work desk basically every day 🤷 (Although my doctor also says he's about 80% sure I have Narcolepsy, so that might have something to do with that)
Can you cite a study?

It seems like a very common misconception that is maybe somewhat correlated, but causality hasn't been found as far as I could find. Probably one of those things that are hawked by "wellness influencers" and "hack your life" youtubers without actual evidence.
Be careful about what you take away from influencers like Huberman etc. They are businesses first and foremost, and while their business may involve giving good advice, they're ultimately driven by views which can lead them to exaggerate and overrepresent evidence for the sake of having new, compelling content.
Mourning routine, lol.
My mourning routine is generally to dress less colorfully than usual and gather with others who knew the deceased to commiserate over our mutual loss.
I can do step 1 without waking up, so I would take that extra time to continue connecting with myself while sleeping. Also, caffeine takes 20-30 mins to kick in, so they're actually waiting close to 2 hours to cue themselves into "work mode".
