The Tuesday Manual

Life is just a long string of Tuesdays. Normal, regular, boring weekdays. But a good routine can make these Tuesdays wonderful!

The purpose of this manual is to drill down what a good, completely regular, weekday looks like. What I want to be doing at what time of day.

No day will ever be exactly like this, but the goal is to have a set of routines I roughly follow most weekdays.

Office / WFH / Training

  • Monday: Office. Climbing in the morning. Cardio afternoon.
  • Tuesday: Office. Home workout in the morning. Lift weights after work.
  • Wednesday: WFH. Climbing sometime during the day.
  • Thursday: Office. Home workout in the morning. Lift weights after work.
  • Friday: WFH. Cold water swim + sauna in the morning.
  • Weekend: Long slow run.

Cardio: indoor bike, running, rucking.
