Working backwards

If the ideal day is my output what are my inputs?

So I a few deep work cycles so I am being paid or making money as a knowledge worker.

This means that I am using leverage and tools to disconnect my inputs from my outputs, as I have only a few hours scheduled for deliberate work each day.

I have physical activities scheduled twice each day which is important to me, reaffirming my modern knowledge workers are like professional athletes approach. I train hard, sprint, rest, review.

I have autonomy over my schedule allowing me to schedule activities during the day, not to mention deep work and time to spend with Nikki.

This means I either run my own business (internet or other), I am an independent consultant, writer or I have managed to negotiate my own schedule with my employer.

All of these options indicate, I am effective, able to work deeply and focus.

One thing is clear, I am not a pharmacist. This timetable is at odds with the current community pharmacy working day.
