Profession: Founder / hacker Critically, I wake up naturally. Usually I research a little before doing anything. If I wake up before 3AM, I tend to sleep again by 6AM. After 4AM I tend to power on through. Depending where I am, I might eat/shower/dress. If I commute it is usually by bike, whereas in hotels I swim. I avoid phones and IM services like the plague. If coding, the most important thing for me is focus and I work until that leaves, I get tired, or there is something pressing. If doing business stuff, I tend to finish mid to late afternoon and socialize or go home and do nonbiz work. A fully static/repetitive rhythm is not for me. Though when I get in that mode I often get flow time, these days I focus on writing less code smarter. When I was younger I rethought 1000 problems there were existing solutions for, learned a lot, but in reality wasted a lot of time being 'busy'.
