I'm attempting to bootstrap something right now, and here's what I've done so far. Note that I'm on summer break from University. I'm working a job to try and fund myself.
5:30AM Wake up, shower, eat breakfast, make coffee
6:30AM Catch the bus to work
4:00PM Finish work
4:07PM Catch bus home
5:00PM Get home, make more coffee, change clothes, eat dinner
5:15PM Arrive at the local coffee shop. Download all the software/documents/videos/lectures I'll need for the night. Check email, banking, accounts, news. Chat with a few of the regulars and get some relaxation in.
6:15PM Get home again. Code and do work. Note that my apartment has no cable or internet. This is perfect for me, as I just use the coffee shop for the essentials.
9:30PM Sleep
Note that the weekends look a lot different, but I probably still only get 3 hours of good work done per day because I socialize with people from work and other things to relax. Also, because I work 9 hour work days, we get every other Friday off. I go to the store, buy some Red Bull, and try and hack for the entire day. I can't tell you how critical this Friday off has been so far. This is my first time trying anything like this, so we'll see how it turns out!
