I broke my back 2 years ago. 1 year ago operation. Iron plates in my back. Still revalidating. 2 to 3 hours a day max at the desk writing. 10.000 steps on the day i don't go to medical fitness. This spring my new book will be published: bookmarketing bible for ambitious authors. Need to think about online stuff for passive income. I can't go back to a 40 hours workweek anymore. Plenty of time to think better, but the ideas don't pop up like that. Peehaps i need more time. Like your writing Matt
This is really amazing Matt, thank you for setting me how to be comfortable and be the best in my environment while also writing the very best contents.
Essentially loved the egg part, and there is so much meaning to this body of work thank you so much again.
Blogging is such a beautiful part of life, sounds like you have your routine sorted. Something I am serverly lacking. Thank you for writing this, it brought joy to my heart.
That’s an interesting honest insider. I work 8:30 am tot 5 pm as a content marketer. Doing deep work for an hour a day would be a good for me. Considered all the distractions and meetings at work. Appreciate your reply!
That’s the truth right there! Waking up at 5 would leave me with 3 hours for my routine and writing before going go work. Will start tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your insights! Have a great day!

Wishing you a strong recovery, Denise.
2-3 hours is more than enough
Thank you for your kind words.
Matt,
I really enjoyed this.
I like how you paint with words.

Glad it resonated, Ral.
Easy read and informative.
Just a question, when do you start your day?
5AM roughly

glad it brought some inspiration
What do you do the rest of the day, anything else work related? As a high-strung create-aholic solopreneur, this awoke some spidey senses in me.
Maybe I *do* need to rest (uncomfortably) and stare at the wall more often. I tend to evade the boring still-life moments of… life, whenever possible.
The irony in that I’m sitting ‘still’ for most of the day, every day, but being ‘still’ is my worst fear! 😧😆
my brain is always working in the background – haha
Nice article Matt! I wonder at what time you start writing if by 11 am you are finished? Sounds like a good life to me.
I wake up at 5-6AM
strip away breakfast, daydreaming, procrastination, replying to comments and emails, etc. I get roughly 3 hours of REAL work done daily

the good news is that you can get this done before going to work
Pay yourself first
I'm streaming my daily writing sessions on youtube these days at 7pm pacific to show that anyone can do this
That’s the truth right there! Waking up at 5 would leave me with 3 hours for my routine and writing before going go work. Will start tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your insights! Have a great day!
likewise :)
I followed your advice and wrote my first post on Substack. From 7-8 am I was writing before heading off to work.
