I'm trying to optimize my daily routine. I'm a lawyer (specialized in corporate law) and a writer. I have 7 novels written, but none published yet. I'm trying to schedule a daily time for editing/re-writing and a time for creative writing (writing new things). I'm also trying to improve my physical fitness by going to the gym to lift weights from Monday to Friday and doing cardio on weekends. I'm aiming to have two deep work sessions daily (one for writing and one for law), for about two hours each, and about one or two hours for shallow work. Additionally, I'm scheduling a couple of hours per day for reading: one for reading novels and one for reading non-fiction; ideally fiction in the evenings and non-fiction in the mornings. Does that make sense, or should I make some changes, like moving exercise to the evenings instead of the mornings?
How do famous authors structure their day?
Now, how about if I reframe it this way? I'm trying to optimize my daily routine. I'm a lawyer (specialized in corporate law) and a writer. I have 7 novels written, but none published yet. I'm also trying to improve my physical fitness. I'm aiming to have two deep work sessions daily for about two hours each and about one or two hours for shallow work. So, what I really would like to know is how can I optimize my routine to create synergy: I want to schedule each activity at the most optimal time of the day to achieve the best results possible in each of them, but also in a way that each activity supports or helps the other ones. Please feel free to propose any type of modification that can improve the aforementioned routine, aiming for efficiency and synergy.
