Hopefully OP realizes this before it's too late: This lifestyle -- these attempts at maximizing productivity will decrease your happiness. They completely ignore a well-accepted truth: variety is the spice of life. In the 90s we started to laugh at the yuppie workaholics of the 80s for what they were and all they failed (and succeeded) to do. It seems we've forgotten the tragedy of their often short-sighted and unsustainable lifestyle choices because I see them being repeated.
To anyone who has subscribed to this lifestyle: Go watch American Psycho and introspect on how much you're becoming a modern day version of that caricature of insanity (minus the literal killing).
Working out regularly does not make you a narcissist. In fact, he doesn't even specify the exercises he does. For all we know, he goes jogging to help boost his cardiovascular health, rather than pumping iron. And even if he did pump iron, let him. It's what he wants to do, and it doesn't make him a psycho.
