Stoicism for solopreneurs

What does a perfect day look like?

My ideal day.

I wake up naturally when my body is ready, with no alarm.

Short work out straight away: 5 mins rowing for an instant win.

Morning chores: dishwasher, feed pets, get coffees.

15min walk the dog in the field while I mentally rehearse and prep for the day.

Coffee, and slowly walk to office.

Set up ritual: enter office, shoes off, lights on, pc on, some good music.

Focus ritual: jumping jacks, write down my intention, set a timer and get to work.
I feel free of distraction to do my most creative work.
Deep work session in full flow I stop after 2hrs.

Put on an audio, and take Fin for a jog around the loop in his stroller, give Immy some time to herself

For lunch make the same thing everyday, something light healthy and simple. Eggs. Or tuna. Sit on the deck and eat with immy.

Read for 15mins to let tummy settle.

Grab a coffee

Afternoon admin:
Take my laptop outside and work through emails,
But set a hard stop on how long I’m allowed to spend in them.
Clear clickup notifications.

Then I reward myself with 15mins of VG for fun.

5mins Unwind down routine: Review workday, check habits, plan tomorrow, leave the office, ring chimes.

Moving back into physical work with life admin and chores…

Make dinner, and catchup with Immy as we eat. No tv.

Bath and bed Fin

30mins Chores: Tidy house, dishwasher, washing

15 mins Immy joins me for evening walk at sunset, trailed by the dog and cats

20mins Leisure time: read in the egg chair

15mins Meditate in the hammock

Lock up routine

Stretch

Bed
