New Dad Productivity Routine

A breakdown to the new format to my daily life and work

Yes, I’m doing it — a temporary routine for the first 3 months of fatherhood.

This will most likely change, but I wanted to share — as it might be helpful to new dads, like me (1 month ago) as they work from home, aim to work productively and start their new journey.

100% Khe Hy inspired me to do this.

Otto is our 3 month old little one (for reference)

Mornings

🌙 4–5AM: Feed (10m, +10m burping)

💤 5:30AM: Additional Sleep Time (optional, if only 1 feed — stay awake)

If I fall asleep, I use Balance — a meditation app to get be back to sleep… and also works to put Otto to sleep — maybe an association thing…

📨 5:45AM: Admin (if 1 good sleep, wake up and be open to daytime nap)

☀️ 8–9AM: Rise (wake-up and fight fires with baby *if any)

🥊 9:30AM: Box (short max 15-minute, agreed with wife)
