A personal daily structure for independent work, built around ritual, deep focus blocks, and intentional transitions.
My daily routine
Working independently means the burden and opportunity of creating my own structure. I’ve found ritual and routine essential to guide me.
- 7:00-7:30am : wakeup; move my body; recite mantras; meditate
- 7:30-8:00am : shower; feed my cat; make coffee
- 8:00-11:30am : Uninterrupted morning working block
- Default environment: WiFi off; Forest on my phone; alone at my desk
- No meetings: working in 25m/5m pomodoros; no extended breaks (maintaining momentum is more important than combatting fatigue)
- Start a Daily working log, write for a minute or so about how I’m feeling and my intentions for the day; look at my Weekly Menu for the week, get a sense of what I’d like to dig into.
