Introduction

This video details Charlie Morgan's daily routine, which he credits with his $30 million online business success. He emphasizes its simplicity and effectiveness, calling it his "factory reset" routine because he always returns to it after trying other methods. The video outlines his wake-up time, cold shower routine, work schedule, meal plan, exercise or nap routine, and evening schedule.

Key Takeaways

• Morning Routine: Waking up naturally (around 6:00 AM), taking a cold shower to reduce inflammation and improve focus, and immediately beginning a 6-hour deep work block.
• Work Schedule: Dedicated deep work for the first 5-6 hours of the day, followed by meetings, and another deep work session later in the day.
• Diet: A high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet consisting of steak and eggs for lunch and dinner to avoid post-lunch slumps and maintain energy levels. Hydration is crucial, with a liter of water and electrolytes consumed upon waking. Avoids coffee and breakfast.
• Afternoon Routine: A 30-minute lunch break to eat, followed by meetings, then gym time or an hour-long nap.
• Evening Routine: Planning the next day's activities, followed by dinner (similar to lunch), relaxation, and sleep by 10:00 PM.

My apologies, I can be more specific. To do so, I need more information from you about which aspects need more detail. My previous response was based solely on the provided transcript. Please tell me:

• Which section needs more detail? (e.g., the morning routine, the diet, the work schedule)
• What kind of detail are you looking for? (e.g., the exact number of eggs, the specific types of projects he works on, the duration of his meetings, etc.)

The more specific your request, the more precisely I can answer using only the information in the transcript.

To provide more specific details, I will break down each section of Charlie Morgan's routine as described in the transcript. Note that the transcript does not provide every detail, and some information is presented as ranges or approximations.

Morning Routine (6:00 AM - 12:30 PM):

• Wake-up Time: He wakes up naturally between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM, without an alarm clock. The transcript emphasizes that consistent sleep timing is key.
• Cold Shower: Immediately after waking, he takes a 4-5 minute cold shower to reduce inflammation, alleviate brain fog, and improve alertness. He mentions this helps with congestion as well.
• Work Block: From approximately 6:15 AM to 12:15 PM (or sometimes 12:30 PM), he engages in "deep work," focusing intensely on projects without checking emails, Slack, or his phone. He emphasizes that this is a crucial period for maximizing productivity.

Lunch (12:30 PM):

• Meal: He eats a high-protein, low-carbohydrate lunch consisting of one ribeye steak, four to six eggs, cooked in beef tallow and olive oil, respectively. He may occasionally add avocado. He estimates this meal contains 1200-1300 calories.
• Hydration: He drinks approximately one liter of water mixed with an electrolyte sachet (magnesium, potassium, sodium) and a scoop of creatine.
• Phone Check: His 30-minute lunch break includes checking WhatsApp for family and friends. No social media or work-related apps are on his phone.

Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:30 PM):

• Meetings: From roughly 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM (or sometimes 3:30 PM), he conducts meetings. The exact number and duration vary.
• Gym or Nap: At 3:30 PM, he either goes to the gym for an hour or takes a nap (20-60 minutes), depending on his energy levels and recovery from previous workouts.

Evening (5:30 PM - 10:00 PM):

• Work Block (Optional): Depending on his energy level and work completion, he might have another period of deep work after the gym or nap.
• Planning (PTT): Before dinner, he plans his next day (PTT - Plan Tomorrow Today), reviewing completed tasks and scheduling tasks for tomorrow.
• Dinner: Similar to lunch, he eats two ribeye steaks and four to six eggs, totaling approximately 2000 calories.
• Relaxation: After dinner, he relaxes, socializing with friends, playing sports, reading, or watching movies.
• Bedtime: He goes to bed at 10:00 PM.

Overall:

• Calorie Consumption: His daily calorie intake averages 3300-3800 calories.
• Work Hours: His workday typically lasts 10-12 hours, Monday through Saturday. Saturdays have a shorter work block.
• Supplements: The only supplements he takes are electrolytes and creatine in the morning. He does not require additional supplements due to his nutrient-dense diet.
• Activities Avoided: He avoids coffee, breakfast, excessive carbohydrates and sugar, and any activity that could detract from his focus during deep work blocks.
