Today I came up with a strange comparison. Having a training partner in the gym and having a business partner in a company. I thought about it for a while and I came to the conclusion that in the end, it’s both the same.

Is programming a blue-collar job? A few days ago I discovered an article which was published on WIRED. The Author stated that “the next big blue-collar job is coding”. How is such a statement possible in a world where great developers are paid a yearly salary of $120,000 and more?

Woke Up Late – A Mistake?
Today I woke up late. With late I mean 8.30AM. My morning was totally unproductive, my noon as well. Right now I am sitting at my desk and I try to reflect what might have been the problem. One thing I just realized is that I woke up pretty late today. Might this be the reason for an unproductive morning? Maybe.
In general, I have very good experiences with the habit of waking up early. I think that my days are more productive the earlier I get up and the more sports I do.
Today I woke up late and I postponed my gym training until late in the evening. By breaking your morning routine your break your day.

Why you should try to have one day off
•
2 min read
Today is a regular Sunday but I did something unusual for me: I took a day off. Usually, I spend 7 days a week on stuff including at least half of a Sunday. Today I didn’t. I rejected to set an alarm clock for less than 8 hours of sleep. So I woke up at 8:30 AM. It feels amazing to have 8 hours of sleep! Then I enjoyed a great breakfast, a good coffee, and some chit-chat with my girl. Right after lunch, I headed to the gym while video calling a friend who is currently in Australia. After a great gym session, I enjoyed a great walk outside while the sun was shining.
In short: I didn’t sit down at the desk before 7 PM.
Right now I feel great. I feel refreshed and I am ready for the upcoming week. This Sunday off feels like a very healthy choice for my body and I think it is a great thing some hustlers should try themselves as well. Quit your daily routine on a Sunday (or whichever day you want) and simply do everything differently. Calm down, go to the gym, read some books but don’t sit at your desk the whole day.
The strange thing: I don’t even feel bad about achieving “nothing” but my body feels refreshed.
Enough for today, have a great start into the next week!
