6:00 AM — The Day Begins
My alarm goes off. No snooze. I've trained myself to get up immediately.
First 30 minutes: No phone. Just meditation and journaling. This is non-negotiable. Without this, my mind stays scattered all day.
7:00 AM — Morning Review
I review my "Big 3" — the three most important things I need to accomplish today. Not 10 tasks. Not 20. Three.
If I get these three done, the day is a win.
8:00 AM — Team Standup
Quick 15-minute video call with key team leads. No fluff. Three questions:
- What did you accomplish yesterday?
- What are you working on today?
- Any blockers?
9:00 AM — Deep Work Block
This is sacred time. Phone on airplane mode. Slack notifications off. This is when I do strategy, planning, and any creative thinking.
I don't take meetings before 11 AM.
11:00 AM — Client Calls
The calls start. Consulting sessions, project updates, new business pitches. This is where the people skills come in.
1:00 PM — Lunch & Learning
I eat at my desk (not ideal, I know) while watching something educational. Podcasts, courses, industry news. I'm always learning.
2:00 PM — Creative Reviews
Time to review work from the creative team. Ad concepts, website designs, video edits. Feedback needs to be specific and actionable.
4:00 PM — Leadership 1:1s
Bi-weekly one-on-one meetings with direct reports. This is where I coach, listen to concerns, and stay connected to what's happening on the ground.
6:00 PM — Strategy & Planning
End of day is for looking ahead. Reviewing financials, planning next quarter, thinking about long-term vision.
8:00 PM — Wind Down
Work officially ends. Dinner with family. Maybe some Netflix. Definitely no email.
What I've Learned
Working across multiple ventures doesn't mean multiplying the work blindly. It means:
- Better systems
- Better people
- Better prioritization
The goal isn't to work more hours. It's to maximize impact per hour.
