Yeah, that was my thought as well, I have a very tight schedule which allows me only around 9~10 hours a week to dedicate to my startup.

Mo - Fri:

  . Wake up at 5:30 go to the gym (6 to 7.30)

  . 7.30 - 9.00 : Shower, breakfast, get ready to work

    9. - 9.30 : Commute to work

  . 9.30 - 6.00pm : Work

  . 6.00 - 6.30pm : Commute to home

  . 6.30 - 9.00pm : Tue/Wed: Startup,  MWF: Wife

  . 9.00 - 10.00pm: Dinner, prepare to sleep 


  ... repeat

Saturdays: 9.00 - 2.00pm . Startup

So 5 hours on saturday + 5 hours on Weekdays = 10hrs in total. I wish I had more time.

Can you go to the gym on alternate days? Sometimes, I don't go to the gym for the entire week; instead, work out at home for 20-30 mins - doing bodyweight exercises

A good tip for saving time is to workout in your lunch hour if it's possible. I go running in my lunch hour as it has a high time:reward ratio which free's up a lot of time in the evenings or mornings.

This is a sustainable schedule. I have almost an identical schedule, but swap out startup with grad school work. You can do this without getting too burnt out for a while IMO. The days where you work after work are tough, though...

and frankly that's a killer schedule already...

how are you showering at 7:30 if you are leaving gym at 7:30. is ur gym in ur home?,

Some gyms have showers. Lifetime, etc.

some gyms have showers? some don't?
