Scrolling through social media could lead you to believe most folks are hustling through a daily routine that looks something like this:

|
  • 4:00 AM: Wake up and hit the gym
  • 6:00–6:30 AM: Journal positive thoughts and feelings for the day
  • 6:30–7:00 AM: Make breakfast
  • 8:00 AM: Take the kids to school
  • 8:30 AM: Walk the dog
  • 9:00 AM: Do the hardest task first when you get to work
  • 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (or later): Work hard for 8–10 hours
  • 6:00 PM: Take the kids to soccer practice
  • 7:00 PM: Make dinner
  • 7:30 PM: Go for a family walk
  • 8:00 PM–Midnight: Work on your side hustle
  • Get at least seven hours of sleep before getting up at 4:00 AM to start all over again.

Does this schedule seem impossible? It should. The time blocks literally don't add up!
