Productivity Hacks - My Daily Routine for Productivity | Productivity Tips
About this video
Sean describes the daily routine he follows on the four days a week he does not work his job, and a compressed version for his three job days. He wakes at 7 a.m., drinks 64 ounces of water, and avoids his phone for the first hour, which he says previously raised anxiety and tired his eyes. From 8 to 11 a.m. he does his single most important task for 90 minutes to three hours without email or social media, a practice he attributes to Robin Sharma, arguing email replies create an endless, unproductive loop. He works out outdoors with bodyweight training from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., eats his first meal around 1 p.m. under a 16:8 intermittent fast he says he has done for years, then works in the afternoon, often at a library or Starbucks to remove home distractions. Evening includes cooking dinner, relaxing, and reading a self-help or business book from 10 to 11 p.m. instead of using his phone before sleep. On job days as a concierge he wakes at 5:30, works 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., works out, and fits in about two and a half hours on his business.
Key takeaways
- Do the single most important task first, for 90 minutes to three hours, before email or social media
- Avoid the phone for the first hour of the day and before bed, replacing late phone use with reading
- Use intermittent fasting (16:8, first meal around 1 p.m.) - he claims it saves time and improves morning focus
- Leave the house for a focused environment such as a library or Starbucks for afternoon work
- Prioritise about eight hours of sleep and daily exercise, which he links directly to focus and productivity
