Tim Ferriss shares his surprisingly simple daily routine: team calls, a 7-minute cold plunge at 40°F, and protein-heavy meals with minimal fats and carbs during focused work. He skips elaborate time management tricks, prioritizing sleep and a few core tasks instead.
So I had a great day today. I had a few team calls, then did a 7-minute cold plunge at 40 degrees. And light meals. If I have a lot of mental lifting to do, then I generally eat pretty lightly, mostly protein, a little bit of fat, small amount of carbohydrate. And here we are, that's the day. Got a great night's sleep last night, which isn't always the case, but for me, that is an optimized day. There's not a lot crammed into it. I'm not executing this sophisticated time management Tetris to be as efficient as possible, but I'm keeping the main thing the main thing. The main things were team one-on-one calls, being physiologically prepared in terms of documentation research for podcasts that I recorded, and then being in a good state for having this conversation. That's it. You don't have to do a lot every day.
