I get up at 4:30am, commute to work and start around 5:30am, work until ~2:00pm, go for cross-fit/karate training around 6pm with wife, come back eat diner, go to bed around 9pm. I have 2 kids which are now 15/17 so it's easier to plan things. Age is late 40s.

WFH on Friday so I can go train in the morning and have my Friday evening and week-end with wife and kids.

Some of this was harder to plan when kids were younger. Wife would 'dump' them in daycare/school and I would pick them up in afternoon, homework, diner, etc. between 3pm-6pm. Any errands, I'd stop coming back from work or do on weekends.

I used to do furniture delivery as a truck driver as my student job while in university and the waking up early stuck after being used to it. Obviously, you need to have an employer which is fine with this work schedule.
