What is a typical day like to you?
There are basically three different
types of days in my life. Monday till
Saturday there are good and bad
weather days. Normally, the alarm
clock will ring at 4:58am. On a bad
weather day I´ll brush my teeth,
prepare my bag, head to the gym, train,
and aterwards have my breakfast right
there. Then I´ll drive home, have a
shower and meditate for 15 minutes.
Then I´ll log on my iPhone and answer
emails and messages. Then I´ll start
working, head to university, or refer to
Eisenhowers Decision Matrix to do
some sector II work. This will go on till
lunch at 1pm with some breaks e.g. go
for a walk or do some stretching. Same
procedure till evening and prepare
food for tomorrow and dinner at 7pm.
Aterwards I will most of the time read
some book. I love fantasy and historical
novels but currently I´m reading pretty
diverse stuff. On "good weather days"
I'll most oten than not start my day by
having a shower. Meditation aterwards
then some work till breakfast at 7am.
Aterwards again the previously
described work stuff till about 11 then
some outdoor workout and then taking
my lunch out with me and eat under
the sun and later sunbathe (sometimes
with a friend) till - let's say - 4pm.
Concluding the day with the same
procedure as on "bad weather days".
Sounds very boring but actually it isn't
as I try to make the sector II work very

interesting and sometimes there are of
course exceptions to these basic types.
On Saturday I might have a longer
hiking tour with my dogs for example
or I might do some of the work
outdoors. Just to make it clear: I
consider "inspiring and interesting"
meetings as well as writing and all
kinds of other "important", but not
"necessary work" as sector II work.
The third type is Sunday. That is my
"day off". I do not do any sports or
work. The maximum is to be very
active with a bike tour or a long walk
etc, but most of the time I´m pretty
lazy. Typically I meet up with friends,
read some exciting book, maybe do
some yoga, or take a bath.
