Fitness entrepreneur Dan Go laid out a daily routine for mental clarity, physical strength, and family connection in a post on X.

“In the morning: Wake up early, go for a walk, eat high protein, deep work,” he wrote in a post on X. “In the afternoon: Lift weights, eat high protein, shallow work. At night: Spend time with family, take a walk after dinner, go to bed early.”

Go’s post reflects a broader movement among performance-focused entrepreneurs to create structured days that prioritize focused work, movement, and recovery.

Research has shown that early morning sunlight and movement can improve mood and regulate circadian rhythm, while high-protein meals support energy and satiety throughout the day. Segmenting deep vs. shallow work also aligns with productivity frameworks like Cal Newport’s Deep Work strategy, which emphasizes undistracted, cognitively demanding tasks in the morning.
