I’ve been asked for an updated daily schedule given Superlogical, second kid, and AI usage. Here you go: - 530 awake, 20 minute interval cardio - 600 review nightly agents, start new - 700 wake and feed newborn - 730 wake, dress toddler - 745 breakfast with family - 800 off to work - 1200 lunch (often with wife) - 1530 to 1945 family time - 2000 hang with wife, start new nightly agents Early 2026 I mentioned a goal of “always have an agent running” but admitted I was realistically only getting agents for a couple hours off work. As of today, I’ve gotten a LOT better, I regularly have at least 2 agents running constantly with many running through most of the night. I’ll cover this in more detail another time!

I'm really not trying to hype unhealthy grind. But I don't understand why people would rather sit behind a desk in front of a computer and work when they can literally be outside most of the day doing most work from their phones. I'm getting more steps. I have less shoulder pain. I have less lower back pain. If you sit more than 5 hours/day, locked in front of your laptop, please do the exact opposite of this. Get out and touch grass while still getting shit done.
