Building Your Ideal Daily Routine: Embracing the Journey
Written on
Chapter 1: The Transformation Begins
This month has marked the beginning of a significant change in my life. Rather than juggling numerous projects in a disorganized manner, I’ve committed to meticulously planning out my daily schedule. Crucially, I've pledged to adhere to my tasks, which means no more YouTube, endless scrolling, or TikTok until I’ve accomplished everything I aimed to achieve each day.
Admittedly, this has proven more challenging than I initially anticipated. I have to confess: I can be quite lazy at times 🤭. In the past, this laziness would weigh heavily on me with guilt, but I’ve come to understand that everyone has their own pace in life.
However, there’s a reality I must face: bills still need to be paid, and the likelihood of an unexpected windfall is pretty low. So, how can I harmonize my unique lifestyle with the demands of the world around us?
The answer lies in establishing a routine.
Autopilot Mode Engaged
Drawing inspiration from Bryan Johnson's methodology, I pondered: what if I could automate all my money-making endeavors? Instead of fretting over daily stats, I could simply focus on the necessary tasks and enjoy the rest of my day without anxiety.
The pivotal shift for me was to stop debating when I would finish a task. Instead, I would wake up, complete my work, and then relax for the remainder of the day. This approach eliminates the need for mental gymnastics—just a straightforward, habitual routine.

I meticulously list every task I need to tackle, progressing through them methodically until completion. This routine has become as essential as sleep itself. I don’t think, “Oh, maybe I won’t sleep today, but I’ll make up for it tomorrow.” It sounds ridiculous! When I wake up, my priorities include posting an article and managing my businesses before anything else.
This marks my autopilot mode—my "automatic" income-generating process.
The Challenge of Consistency
Building this self-sustaining, money-making routine has demanded considerable willpower. There are days (like today) when I simply lack the motivation to post. What frightens me is how easily I can lose momentum if I indulge my laziness just once.
Yet, I find motivation in recognizing how much progress I’ve made in such a brief period. What about you? Are you developing (or do you already have) an autopilot routine?
