This is an interesting schedule. I like how you added the social component. This days you can't do anything without the social component. :)
"5:30 AM - Wakeup
5:30 AM - 7:30AM - Read blogs, articles, mail, write blog post
7:30 AM - 12 PM - Code without distractions (turn on SelfControl)
12 PM - 1:30 PM - Run, workout, make some quick food
1:30 PM - 6PM - Ignore desire for a nap, Code & Coffee
6PM - Get out of the house and meet people!"
Do you really plan to uphold it every day? Or is it more like a flexible guide? This times look pretty tight. Did you plan it concerning your personal preferences (early wakeup, how much sleep?), or more on the general work day "normal people" expected schedule. And do you really need to write a blog post every day? Don't you think all this will be a distraction?
Logic behind a schedule- I used to row at UNC, and we had practice twice a day. Having the same schedule over and over again creates a certain amount of comfort within the repetition. It's 6am now- been responding to comments & emails since 5:30, so yep holding to it! The blog post a day will serve as a marker for the previous days accomplishments, and thoughts for the process ahead.
