Alex Taught Me Schedules and SOPs and they changed my life
What Alex Taught Me: SOPs + Scheduling Alex recently taught me the power of making SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and pairing them with a clear daily schedule. 👉 He said to schedule my day as detailed as possible — not ridiculously nitpicky, but with clear blocks for the important things. Now my whole life is structured: - Altcoin hunting blocks - Lunch - Meetings with people - Project work outside of my daily necessity tasks - Fun time (plan for it — because if you don’t, it’ll still happen and mess up your schedule) - Mornings and nights planned out for preparation and winding down I’ve already noticed that when I don’t prepare at night, my mornings take a hit. Scheduling has been a game changer. What’s an SOP? A Standard Operating Procedure is basically a checklist for how to do a main task. For example: - Altcoin hunting SOP → exact steps I follow each time while alt coin hunting. - Meetings SOP → how I prep, run, and follow up. - Project work SOP → tailored per project, but always a checklist. From these SOPs, I can create actual daily tasks. Example: after looking at my altcoin hunting SOP and knowing how long it takes, I can set the exact number of altcoins I should get to research that day. 🔥 Takeaway: SOPs give structure, tasks give direction, and scheduling gives consistency. Together, they create the order that makes excellence possible. And the key: SOPs are never finished. They’re living documents. Each time I find a faster, more effective, or more efficient way to work, I go back and refine the SOP. Over time, they get better and better — and they always reflect my current best way of doing things.
