Ethan Marcotte’s typical day
Ethan Marcotte, the always brilliant responsive web design guy: My day starts in earnest around 9AM, or as close to it as I can get. I’ll open up both email and Slack briefly to see if anything important’s come in, and reply to anything pressing. After that, I’ll close both2, look over my calendar, and…

Hidde de Vries’ typical day
Hidde de Vries: Sometimes there’s a book I can’t stop reading or a guest in one of the late night talk shows that I don’t want to miss. I go to bed with a book. Love his book page. Also his last name hits a chord. My grandfather changed our last name from Bijl de Vroe…

Mitch’s typical day
Mitch, in his typical day post, regarding his 6:15am Twitter habit: This probably isn’t a great morning habit but four years of endless crises have pretty much drilled into me to take a glance at what’s going on in the world as soon as my eyes are open. Break the habit Mitch! Take drastic measures…

Matthias Ott’s typical day
Matthias Ott: I envy people like Sara Soueidan or Dan Mall who get up really early to do creative, meaningful work in the calmer morning hours before the busyness of the day kicks off. And although I’ve always been a night owl, I am currently starting to enjoy going to bed and getting up a…

Martin Wolf’s typical day
Martin Wolf: 7:00am — Hobby time. I paint Warhammer miniatures. Fascinating to see people’s hobbies sprinkled into these. I also like that this series of posts is beginning to run away with itself where people are chiming in that haven’t been tagged by anyone. If you’re sitting there reading this post, right now, please write one!

Dave Rupert’s typical day
Dave Rupert: Also, in a week or so I’ll be in my new backyard office workspace. This will hopefully shift my productivity windows a bit and enforce a proper lunch routine where I leave the physical office to eat in the main house. The distance will also probably temper late night gaming. I see that…

Anton Sten’s typical day
Anton Sten: 8.30 – 9.00 PM – Answer Slack / Figma / Notion comments that come in so they’ll have a chance to respond again ahead of my day tomorrow. I’ll keep this time to a minimum. Anton works with a bit of a time shift with his team so this is really smart. He’s setting…

Cassie Evans’ typical day
Cassie Evans’ typical day: One thing that doesn’t change is that I try to approach my days gently. I listen to how I’m feeling and adjust my plans to fit around that. I also try to find a highlight each day to focus on. Super interesting approach. I need to give this more thought. More typical…

Chris McLeod’s typical day
Chris McLeod: Like most people I suspect I have days where I don’t feel like I’ve actually achieved anything, and others where I’m amazed by how much it seems I’ve made it through. I find the trick is to just keep going steady. Those really productive days are usually the culmination of work you pushed…

Rob Weychert’s typical day
Rob Weychart, tagged by Dan Mall, whom I tagged: I keep my personal and professional web browsing segregated to different browsers, and I use a plugin to block Twitter, news, and other productivity draining sites during work hours. I used to do something similar. I think I had an app that blocked blacklisted URLs. But…
-
Sara Soueidan’s typical day
Sara Soueidan, who was tagged by Dan, whom I tagged: I think of day and time management in terms of blocks. Or, chunks of time, so to speak. I divide my day into “activity blocks” that are then distributed to occupy different time slots across the day. Her post is a must-read even if you haven’t been following along…
-
Mike Carbone’s typical day
Mike Carbone, tagged by Dan Mall, whom I tagged: 10:30am: Wake up OK, straight out of the gate this young lad is showing off. He continues… 4pm-6pm: Lift and work. This is something new I’ve been trying and it’s been going really well! I bring my laptop to the basement, blast some music, pump out some sets and write…

Noah Read’s typical day
Noah Read: Most of the fall was absorbed with house-hunting, purchasing, finding new renters for our previous home, prepping for the move, moving, and unpacking. This has taken any spare moment and more than all my spare energy and attention to make happen. In July, as Eliza and I soldiered on towards our new home’s…

Jeremy Keith’s typical day
Jeremy Keith, whom I tagged: Y’know, in the Before Times I think this would’ve been trickier. What with travelling and speaking, I didn’t really have a “typical” day …and I liked it that way. Now, thanks to The Situation, my days are all pretty similar. Waking up at 8:30 seems like such a luxury! I…
-
Dan Mall’s typical day
Dan Mall, whom I tagged: 7:30pm–8:30pm: Optional work wrap-up time if there’s anything urgent from the day. I envy that he has that evening time-slot to be productive. I find that my evenings are far less productive after I get into wind-down mode. I wouldn’t mind adding an hour or so of productivity to the end…
-
Chris Coyier’s typical day
Chris Coyier: That long of a workday means that I can be very flexible without feeling behind. If I need to run any sort of errand, I do. If I need to stay home a morning, I do. If I need to come home “early”, I do. And I can do that without feeling like…

My typical day
Here is a general overview of a typical day for me. Routine makes me happy but it also lends to my productivity. The more each day is the same the more I can accomplish. I’m sharing it because I would like to see other people post their typical days – as mundane as they may…

Mornings
For about 10 years now I haven’t set an alarm unless I had a plane or bus to catch. My belief is that if my body needs to sleep it will and if it doesn’t it won’t. For the most part this has worked out just fine for me. I’m not someone who needs to…
