Ben Franklin was the original Tim Ferrriss when it came to optimizing his life; however, he wasn't always successful at it. One such attempt at his self-defined Order was to set a regimented daily schedule that went something like this:

5 - 8 am: Wake up, Plan the day's work, Breakfast

8 - 12 pm: Work

12 - 2 pm: Look over accounts, Lunch

2 - 5 pm: Work

5 - 10 pm: Tidy up, Diversions, Dinner

10 - 5 am: Sleep

He admits that of his habits he tried to change, this was the most difficult and he never was able to do it. Traveling, running his own business, attending social affairs made his schedule unpredictable and made his attempt at Order nearly impossible. He did have a good learning from it though. It's good to set your goals high and to strive to achieve them, but ultimately just fine if you don't - it was the journey that made him a better person.

I've always enjoyed working in a more difficult environment and being around smarter people. The pressure is definitely there to be the best of yourself and your colleagues push you to be so. It may be challenging while you're there, but you come out of it a much more accomplished person at the end. Your work and impact are meaningful and I hope it leaves some sort of lasting impact on the people around me.
