Hey fastlaners - so I am at a point where I will be transitioning to entrepreneurship full time in a few months, after working a traditional job for many years.
I believe very strongly that we become what we repeatedly do, and that our daily routines and habits have a big impact on our success and happiness. This being said one of the things I've found intimidating is the idea of having days, months, years ahead where I am fully responsible for creating the structure for my own life from scratch. Most of the work I do is not tied to a specific location (ie most can be done on my phone and computer) so I have massive flexibility.
I don't have many entrepreneurs in my own life that I can look up to / model after and I'm very interested in how you guys structure your days and weeks? I'm talking about the absolute mundane nitty gritty stuff ie
How many hours a day do you work?
How many days a week do you work?
Do you work at home, or a coffee shop, or a coworking location?
Do you split your work up into a few chunks throughout the day, or all at once like a traditional job?
Do you work by yourself or with others? Do you have a team around you? Was this on purpose?
Did you try working the typical 9-5 hours, or did you find working on a completely different timeline to be more effective?
Is every work day the same? Is every week day the same?
What do you do when you aren't working? Does your free time and recreation look any different from a slowlaners?
Obviously everyones situation will be different but I'm fired up to hear about your routines - especially from a happiness perspective. I've tried the 'work 24/7' strategy but it wasn't sustainable long term and I'd love to have a routine that I look forward to and is both enjoyable and sustainable.
