Fun topic.
I wake about 0730. That's 3 hours before I used to awaken (before I was co-founder) so I make coffee and whilst it brews grab a shower. After shower, it's coffee/email/Twitter and kiss girlfriend goodbye.
I get to work for 0820 (cycle) and by the time I'm sat in my chair with coffee I've worked out what my first small task is.
After first task (logs, phone call, send beta invites) I grab breakfast (bacon roll or pastry - a large perk of our company is free lunch/breakfast)
Then it's daily swift chat with CTO and on with my to do list. I split my tasks into thinking and doing. We also use pivotal tracker, which rocks.
I regularly meet with our investors and advisors (over lunch, breakfast or pizza after work - avoid meetings in work hours) and generally power through until about 6.30PM.
I spend the final hour of work catching up on email and any missed calls. Home for 1915.
I relax in the evenings and generally be human. I try to squeeze in another two hours work between 1AM and bed.
Repeat.
I do this Monday to Friday. At the weekends I work from home Saturday morning and Sunday evening.
