Day in the Life of THE Regular Hooper

Is work-life balance possible?

I am THE Regular Hooper. Like the most regular. The most average. The 50th percentile.

I’m average height, average weight, and ~hopefully~ average attractiveness. When I say I’m regular, I really mean that.

If I beat you 1v1 then you’re below average. 

But if you win, then you’re above average.

Sometimes I wonder why I suck at basketball relative to the amount of time I’ve dedicated to the game.

But rather than wonder, I’ll stick with blaming my parents for making me play the viola for 8 years instead.

8 years of viola and this is literally the only thing in my camera roll of me holding the instrument… this was a video btw, but I wanted to save your ears from bleeding

Or maybe I suck at basketball cuz I just wanna ~talk about the political & economic state of the world right now~ (I’m being sarcastic, I’m not Jaden smith lol)

@60secondsofrapJaden Smith just wants to talk about politics and economics 😅 #jadensmith #willsmith

Regardless of the reason, this topic got me thinking about work-life balance—which has been a priority since I committed to Regular Hoops.

DITL, OOTD, GRWM, TIDN, MKDY

People seem to like watching “day in the life videos (DITL),” “outfit of the day (OOTD),” and “get ready with me (GRWM)” videos.

So here is my DITL.

Btw the last two acronyms in the subtitle are fake, I just typed random letters.

Got em lol.

Okay that’s enough, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Like every human, we all have things to do… a lot of things.

In my case, I work a corporate job, run a media company, create content weekly (like this blog!), workout 3-5x/week, and more. 

But there are only so many hours in the day, and I gotta be a regular guy sometimes.

As of late, here’s how I spend my time on the weekdays:

7am - wake up and doomscroll Instagram

8am - head to my corporate job 

9am - start adding shareholder value 

12pm - go to the gym 

1pm - inject more shareholder value 

5pm - leave the office

6pm - figure out what to do for the next 6 hours

12am - doomscroll and fall asleep

You might be wondering when I eat… I don’t.

I get my daily nutrients by watching food content from The Golden Balance.

Very nutritious. Highly recommend.

As much as I like to think I’ve used those 6 hours from 6pm-12am effectively, I feel like I could be more disciplined with my time.

So recently, I’ve developed a new mindset to make the most of this valuable time.

And I gave this mindset a cool name.

The Bootleg Mamba Mentality

Every day, my goal is to get ONE productive thing done.

This could be…

• Writing a LinkedIn post

• Filming a video

• Editing a video

• Hanging out with friends

• Playing basketball

I’m basically trying to avoid the possibility of doomscrolling social media.

That should only happen at 12am lol.

Kobe might be disappointed, but slow motion is better than no motion.

Let me know what you think. Please share any work-life balance tips you might have. 

P.S. if you’re curious about my weekend routine, you’ll have to subscribe to my onlyfans for $6.99/month.

Okay, fine… was that not good offer, I’ll just tell you then.

My weekends are very different and always changing, so there’s not really a clear schedule week-to-week.

I hope that non-answer triggered you.

Please note: these new blogs (started Sept’24) contain a lot of satire and should not always be taken at face value. 

Expect to see typos, wordy/repetitive sentences, passive voice, and anything else you’d expect from a “D-” graded high school assignment.

Because that’s my writing ability according to my first ever hate comment back in 2018.
