Running a development agency is really difficult. I (currently) don't have a workday "structure" that invokes creativity and growth.
@dhh shared a great workday schedule on Twitter:
To incentivize creating an environment that promotes productivity and focus on the the things that matter, I'm putting it out here as a reminder to myself. Here's my version of "the perfect workday."
| Hour | Focus |
|---|---|
| 5am | Walk Dog + Run |
| 6am | Shower + Breakfast |
| 7am | Reflection + Standup |
| 8am-12pm | Build things |
| 12pm | Walk Dog + Lunch (Friday Yoga) |
| 1pm-3pm | Project Management |
| 3pm-5pm | Prospecting + Business Development |
| 5pm | Gym or Bike |
| 6pm | Dinner + Walk Dog |
| 7pm-8pm | Family time or Event |
| 9pm | Walk Dog + Read / TV |
| 10pm | Bed |
Things to note:
- Lots of time outside (running, biking, dog).
- AM focus (when I'm most productive/creative) on building.
- Frequent Breaks
- At least 7 hours of sleep.
- This is a goal.
"It is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress."
I'm (still) a fan of James Clear.
If Chek Creative is going to grow at the aggressive pace we have outlined as a team, we'll all need systems for getting things done. For me, that is contributing to our product development, planning for our team's success, and prospecting new business on a daily basis.
How do you design your workday?
