Thanks for sharing. This is a very intense schedule. Agree that everyone is different. I have lots of tasks like pick up/drop off my kid, lunch/dinner prep etc that will take up a lot of time. But it is great to share how you manage the block of time and into different categories.
Yes, agreed... hero status...you are among the very best explainers (teachers, mentors) of all time. ...and, you have all the content a person could ever need. I go here first before looking anywhere else. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Waking up that early could be a key to productivity. Wife & kids won't take away your time in those early hours which indirectly gives you more family time later in the day. This kind of routine would be hard to follow for non-remote work: "start at 8am, be home at 5pm" with traffic is unrealistic in most regions. So family time won't exist. Curious if for one day or 2, it could be worth the tradeoff.
Super inspiring John - you've always been someone I look up to for discipline, consistency, routine and work-life balance ! Thank you for making this video.
John, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can understand this to be something very personal that you shared with us and we really appreciate it. It made me realize that it doesnt matter what the schedule is but rather the discipline and commitment to a schedule. And waking up to no electronics !! thats a tough habit to get rid of ! Another important factor i guess is one's support system. Spouse/partner and kids. A big shout out to your wife and kids for supporting you in your successes!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I love how much emphasis you put on family time as well as health as for me those are the most important things. Then projects for self development which helps you do your job better. This video has made me to honestly re-evaluate how I spend my time and will need to come up with a proper schedule. Despite living in a country where schedule and structure is difficult to maintain, I will try to make the best of whatever time I can.
Complete respect. Thank you so much and such a good reality check to prioritize family over work , sometimes we loose these these fundamentals and good to have a refresher
Thanks for this John! What really resonated with me is starting the day without any „external influences“. I usually checked the news after I got up, will definitely stop doing this!
Yes, I used to start the day looking at phone, responding to things. Often would put things in my brain, distract from my training, start the day off on a low. Now i don't look at anything for the first 4 hours basically and I feel so much better.
Thanks for sharing John, glad it works for you. What I take out of this is be conscious of your time as it's limited, create a routine that works for you and your family and stick to it, prioritise the things that are important, have balance, become less accessable - some things don't need all our time. Love the videos and your passion. Thanks for being real!
This was so inspirational, i work from 13:00 to 23:00 (on office so i included commute time), and thanks to you i see how I can be more productive with the spare time, i do workout and need to stick more to that, and do learn about the cloud and IT in general. Thank you !
I got the impression, that this schedule kind of only works, if somebody else is taking a lot from your schedule. Taking kids to school/sports, grocery shopping, laundry, chores... Those alone can fill several hours a day 😟
@@NTFAQGuy Yeah, that is a very Key aspect. My partner it's pretty carrier focused and we have a toddler that demands a lot of time and attention. Thanks for sharing your routine with us John, you are a great inspiration. Note to myself is rather than focus on the fact that I'm not able to make enough so my partner could take care of the household (if she choses to) I'll take a look at my schedule and trim what is unnecessary, make those tough decisions you mention. In regards to social life, I guess it helps to socialize with people with similar interests, I imagine your close friends are either Ironmen, or top IT experts. Extended family, maybe only on Saturdays?
With your schedule I would be done for the day at 7:00 .. After shower I would get so tired that I would probably sleep for the most of the remaining day ;-) Amazing John! ... Really like your videos, imho the best in place ...
This is a great video! It did make me laugh though to hear you take the same approach with breaking down your personal life as you do with tech content!
Great content John! I was one of the guys asking for this content and it's finally here, and I have to say it's inspiring. Thanks for sharing more about yourself and all Azure related content. I understand that each person has different routines, as you said in another video, which I totally agree with. But see this kind of perseverance and discipline just help to boost my own routine :). Thanks again and keep it up.
I still remember the time you told me you don t watch tv. It has a lot of sense. Still to achieve this schedule requires big effort and discipline. I try to imititate this from 5 AM to 9.00PM and man, this hard. I hope I can reach better performance once my kids grow up, thanks for this and the old video you did some months ago. I feel better when I see high performance people waking up early too. Congrats for your discipline. 💪 #johnforpresident 😏👌
I think the challenge for many is having the willpower to maintain the commitment to discipline until it becomes habit and less reliant on one's mental fortitude. Once we get to routine and habit, it is, in my opinion, far easier to keep the course. Getting the ball rolling takes more effort than keeping it rolling. Thank you for adding fuel to the progress engine!
This is a great insight John, thanks for sharing. You are nearly as super human as i thought though, that's a heavy schedule! Thanks for taking the time to make the great content, even more so now we can see how limited your time is.
The discipline is really incredible, I saw that’s a thing you take seriously from the gym tour (the word appears on every other poster). Super interesting m thanks John.
This does ring a bell heavily for me, going for my first ironman 70.3 (Egypt) this November hopefully, I'm buidling up a more or less similar routine. Way to go 💪🤩.
Thank you for the inspiration! One thing I am struggling the most with is the urge to escape. From what ? To where ? Well, that's why I've been going to therapy for the past 2 months and it has been very beneficial. At some point I would love and I hope to be able to construct a similar schedule like yours, because I feel that I have it in me 😁
That’s awesome you are getting the help you need and making progress. Keep at it 💪. Being able to identify when you need help and actually doing something shows great strength.
@@NTFAQGuy "Being able to identify when you need help and actually doing something shows great strength." I absolutely agree with that now! I used to think that it was a weakness, because it is your mind and you are supposed to know how to handle it, right ? Not at all 😅 As if just because you buy a server and it is now yours, you automatically know how to operate it... It is no different than learning Azure or learning to fix the pipes in your bathroom. It is a learned skill (no one is born knowing), it is highly specific to individuals and it is an exploration process that requires courage and strength as you said, cause it is bloody hard and scary to go deep into yourself and face some things you really don't want to face. As any journey worth undertaking, there will be lessons learned and that is the most important thing. 🙂
As I stress at the start. My routine is not important at all. It’s more about making sure you have something from each bucket in a good balance ratio. Whatever works for the individual. For some more variation is the key.
Wow we live very similar lives. Only differences are I get up at 430 and to to bed at 10. Saturday I train same time frame and I have less family time beings they’ve grown and don’t live close.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring us John. How do you gather and plan all your technical trainings? Do you use like collection in Edge? RSS? watch later on UA-cam? Gathering the good resources from Twitter or others sources is really time consuming. What are your top 3 resources for learning?
This is amazing John! It didn't sound like you drink coffee or caffeine, is that right? Also, how do you keep such good level of muscle mass while also doing so much cardio? What's your calories/macros at to achieve this?
I have a shot of caffeine when I wake up before working out (pre workout drink) but then don't drink any coffee/soda/alcohol or anything else. I drink only water. I eat a LOT of calories a day :-) My diet is lots of carbs and protein. I eat about 200grams of protein a day through food and protein drinks and likely 3,500 calories a day. Pasta, pizza are my friends :-D
Currently a sys admin trying to get into devops or security. After working 40 hours and working out and still trying to hang out with friends its so hard to find time to study meanwhile while applying to jobs at the same time. I just wish companies would go to a 32 hour work week.
Hi John :) i was wondering if your weekly schedule is still the same, or if it has changed? If somewhat changed or optimized, can you make a new video about it?
I don't really travel for work but obviously if I'm travelling for work the family time goes but I still stick to time I get up, training, project, bed time, eating times :-). If its vacation then try not to work and more family time. May do some project things as I enjoy it. I still get up at 3 and train before the family wake up.
If superhuman had a face to it, you and Elon would be exactly what that defines. I thought I was pretty disciplined but seeing how you manage everything is amazing. Were you prior military? I remember early morning formations at 5am and even now, my alarm goes off at 0530 to hit the gym. Thanks for sharing a bit more into your personal life and as always that's for all you do for us Azure Engineers.
Amazing, but where is the Netflix and Chill time :-) . I've been trying to juggle similar work, study fitness and family. Won't be quite as extreme but I like the framework of your day. Think I'm going to try and study early doors
Fantastic discipline. How do you manage the bedtime at 8? You never go out to eat with the wife or spend time with friends etc. on a friday or saturday evening/night?
When we go out to eat its 5:00 dinner. we have date night on Saturdays but its dinner at 5 :-D when its your routine you can't really eat at 7, you are too hungry. i'm a huge introvert and don't really social outside my family.
You're so inspiring. I wish I could be as disciplined as you. How are you so disciplined? What advice would you give to someone who is....not very disciplined/disorganized?
Do you have a physical alarm clock or do you use your phone? Just curious as I use my Cell as an alarm and it's easy to transition from it to browsing the news.
Thanks John, I am one of those ones who had requested this. Just curious to know, when you go on a holiday (pre-covid times) do you disconnect from this routine entirely?
Respect ... since I found your videos I do cardio and learn something about Azure at the same time :). How about mental health ? Meditation takes me about 30 min. a day and I find reading something non work / IT related benefical as well but very, very time consuming...
I did mention mental health in that health bucket and said it could include meditation. Everyone is different and its all about the individual. Personally i don’t mediate but thats just me. I clear my mind through suffering during exercise. :-)
Can you clarify the working hours for me. If I count correctly you work 4 hours in a week day. In France we have 35 hours a week so 7 hours a day and I can't do everything I have to do. :-)
thanks for sharing John, And what if, one day the youtube/'content creating' part of your routine, would bring the same amount of income as your day-to-day job, would you quit and focus more on that stuff? Or still, treat it like a hobby? ;p
i have no advertising on my youtube content so make zero money from it. It's just my hobby and way to give back to the community. Why you see no banners/adverts on my content.
@@NTFAQGuy and chocolate milk right haha, so good. A video about your career journey from when you started in IT to where you are now would be a great one.
Wow - 3am start thats brutal, i struggle to do an hour with the kettlebells sometime in the day and then physically done in, u actually do 90 min cardio and THEN weights.....Wow that's incredible and then have the energy to swim in the afternoon! You thought about a sit stand desk have to say i try to do all meetings standing up
when the alarm goes off I get up :-) when you start focus on what you want most, getting up will help get you there and the rest becomes habit and automatic.
More than a great cloud trainer, an important mentor for mixing athletics with a technology career.
Thanks :-)
Thanks for sharing. This is a very intense schedule. Agree that everyone is different. I have lots of tasks like pick up/drop off my kid, lunch/dinner prep etc that will take up a lot of time. But it is great to share how you manage the block of time and into different categories.
John is the David Goggins of IT. Thank you for this very inspiring video.
This absolute madlad just wakes up and works out for 3-6 hours. No wonder you're absolutely yoked. Respect.
lol

Very kind, thank you
I think what you've just shared is very important and your discipline is what has got you so far. ❤️
Thank you.
I needed this, I know everyone is different but it's important to see people like you that reach their goals and how it's not easy for anyone
you got this, just keep at it!
The only reason John gets up at 3am is because he never got used to the US time zone, he still thinks it’s 8am in London!
Lol love it

That’s very kind, thanks. UA-cam is my hobby and my way of trying to give back.
90 minutes cardio he is in another level!
well an IRONMAN (for me) is 13 hours so you have to pay the bill somewhere :-)

I appreciate that, thank you
Learning new things would be a bucket. Watching your videos.
He just explained how to be successful. Very inspiring. Our laziness is really why we are in the state that we are in.
Some have many life pressures, some it’s discipline, some yeah are a bit lazy ;)

Absolutely. As I stressed I don’t think my routine is important but rather think of the buckets and make sure each gets appropriate time.
Wow, information that really helps with evaluating what you're doing with your time. Thanks for the breakdown John. Cheers!~

Very welcome and yes, discipline is everything. with it you can get anything done. motivation is too easily lost.
Merci John. Tea time for dinner seems incredible in France. When I have dinner at 7PM it is very early for most of people. Like this sharing.
by 5:05 i'm starving and grumpy :-D
Setting/Creating a routine is the easy part, sticking to it is the harder part especially if something external happens or gets in the way
thats why my training i do at the start of the day before anything can impact it :-) sure life happens but for the most part it can be managed.
This does ring a bell heavily for me, going for my first ironman 70.3 (Egypt) this November hopefully, I'm buidling up a more or less similar routine.
Way to go 💪🤩.
Just stick with it. Ironman is all about putting in the hours training and you will succeed. Good luck!

3AM //great knowledgeable content to us // work // Family // discipled // perfectly managed // hats off MAN

BTW how do you stay motivated?
I tried to have a daily routine but i only stick with it for almost a day or two 😣
I have a whole set of videos on discipline where I talk about that. All part of the virtual mentoring playlist.
Really very very interesting... you are following "EARLY TO BED , EARLY TO RISE, MAKES A MAN , HEALTHY- WEALTHY AND WISE".

Have a pre workout that has caffeine but no other caffeine during the day. Have protein drinks.
Do you have a physical alarm clock or do you use your phone? Just curious as I use my Cell as an alarm and it's easy to transition from it to browsing the news.
Phone but I don’t take it out the bedroom until finished training so don’t look at anything :)

I would love to see how you prepare for your lectures.
someone asked that on the recent AMA :-)
How can someone wake up at 3 and train for 3 hours. I can't even do either of those things separately 😊 how long did it take to get to that level?
Long as I can remember :)
So when do you learn azure? Is it part of your work or you do it on sunday's?
all over the place. yes part of my job, but lots in my project/youtube time.
Can you clarify the working hours for me.
If I count correctly you work 4 hours in a week day.

Wow - 3am start thats brutal, i struggle to do an hour with the kettlebells sometime in the day and then physically done in, u actually do 90 min cardio and THEN weights.....Wow that's incredible and then have the energy to swim in the afternoon! You thought about a sit stand desk have to say i try to do all meetings standing up
my office is built in so can't change the desk.
I am just curious, do you wake up your family at 3am too ? :) Just a jock.
lol no, they get up around 6:30
3 AM ... wow
What is your secret how to get up a 3 am? :D
when the alarm goes off I get up :-) when you start focus on what you want most, getting up will help get you there and the rest becomes habit and automatic.
Microsoft to-do, how about devops?
don't use it for my organization.
No time for cuddles with your spouse?😄
“Family time” 🤣
@@NTFAQGuy Ha! That's why there was so much family time in your schedule 😁
3am? where's play hard? :)
lol, i train hard :-) i get satisfaction from that.
Anyone else feel like a complete loser now? lol
lol. Each to their own ;)
3:00 am is way too early for humans to be awake
lol
*Some humans. There are rare breeds of people out there.
There's human, then there's super human...! :)
So... I was with you until you said "3AM"... unsubscribed :)
I don’t blame you :)
I’m first! Yey!!
lol
Work from home….
