A Day In The Life Of Dan Koe (My Routine As A Writer & Founder)

Let's get it. I'm not just gonna sit around watching Dan lol.

[@SamuelGriffin]

He’s not a “bro” , he’s a man .

[@meetandinspire]

"Rather than focusing on being more disciplined you need to focus on making better decisions on the small scale so that those condition yourself into adopting the identity that just does those things." "I also feel like there is a lot of merit in the boring day-to-day tasks that actually lead to the highlights in someone's life." "I don't think it's about discipline, I think it's about becoming the person that automatically does those things and they don't even have to think about it."

I am a 62 yr. old woman who really enjoys your videos. Sometimes the tech talk goes over my head but the idea of discipline and consistency speaks to me. I will soon be retiring and will finally have time of my own to manage which is why I am getting so much out of the videos.

[@winstonthomas4576]

I’m a fan of this guy. He is who I was suppose to become instead of chasing chicks, working crap jobs, and being super distracted in my 20s. I had so many great ideas and never did much with them. Twenty years later and I’m now focused and more drives. Decades past, but at least I’m back on the path.

[@jayreynoldsirl]

[@Topstreet808]

I feel exactly the same way, I’m 60 and finally on the right track. Better late than never

[@MishelleBee]

Hahaha. Same. Although I spent it chasing guys, pissing my money up the wall and doing crappy jobs because I had no self belief, even though I could do everything better than others. 45 and now a full time mother but boy, do I still have time and now my focus is getting quite immaculate. I have no interest in wasting any more time.

[@nikolaybonapartov7379]

Writing, Walking, listening to books, going to the gym, interacting with your audience. Sounds like the dream life to me.

[@Ahumanbeing22]

What does your life look like right now?

[@aldorodriguez7310]

@@Ahumanbeing22 pretty similar, I just don't have an audience and I don't monetize because I have imposter syndrome when it comes to publishing that word. This question really got me thinking. I should be thankful because of what I have. In order to actually make a living out of my writing I need to look at it in the long term and be brave enough to start publishing my work.

The difference between this video and your other videos is that you showed us today how you do what you tell us to do-I mean, "show, don't tell" kind of thing. We want more videos like this!

[@AmirTolk]

Bro is so humble only now I see him Having Porche + Being JACKED. This is what Dan meant by being multi-dimentionally jacked😎

[@eightpercentdisciple]

​@@SamuelGriffinfuck your god

[@quantumcreatorr]

This video reminded me that Dan is also just a human being. Just like all of us. He's a very smart human being, don't get me wrong. I've learned some enormously valuable lessons from his videos and courses. But his life is truly very simple. He just makes time for that which he finds important.

[@SharlritaDeloatch]

Yes!!

[@Madchris8828]

More than anything else I think the biggest thing to change your life is being able to cut out that which you don't care for and live the life you actually want.

[@lisar.2549]

This video is like eating your veggies before the rest of the meal. It’s not exciting, but that’s not the point. The point is, stability and consistency are totally underrated.

[@AmyRoss23]

This was really helpful to watch. Feels refreshing to not hear someone go on and on about everything being perfect 100% of the time. This is real holistic self improvement. Nice to see how self aware and humble you are

[@todovibra]

I appreciate this vlog style video showing behind the scenes Dan. This humanized you and helped demystify the solopreneur lifestyle that seems so far away but is actually closer than most of us think.

[@herlecaldoza3603]

Dan is the smartest, coolest, down-to-earth supercalifragilistic youtuber / human being on earth. My playlist is 45% Dan Koe, and he is in my ear everytime I do my nightly walk 😅. Much love from Your loyal tribe. ❤❤❤ 😊

[@Tangi_ENT]

Man, Dan. This brought me such a dopamine hit. It was so chill very calming. It gave me the much needed perspective and perceptive ability to make the right choices today. I woke up on a zombie like trajectory but this made me zoom out and not judge myself and my emotions. Bless your soul Dan. Please keep making the type of videos that inspire you the most. This was a very nice look into your head and dreams, it allowed me to shape my own. To 2024. This is the year of years.

[@realjacobdavid]

Hey man, I don't know if you read comments or not but I just wanted to say that this was awesome. I found your channel a couple months ago and you have helped me tremendously in figuring out where to go and what to do. I did a cooking apprenticeship in a Michelin star restaurant and I learned so much there, but I noticed that long term I want to do something more impactful. I am now working on what I really want to do, and you play no small role in that. Also this video was really great to see what you actually live like. Very humble. Very real. That is so refreshing in this "self-development" space. Just a normal human being doing the right things, but not hyper-obsessing. Really really great. Keep up the good work, and I wish you the best my guy! :)

[@josephchukwu7334]

This video gave me mental boost. The drive to do more of what I have set to do. I want a life like yours (30% similar to yours to be frank) and I just found happiness in watching you. And I really want my goals to come to life. I now believe strongly that my daily routine (if respected) will bring about the things I want. I am a Nigerian and it's hard to do stuff from here. But if I complain from now till next year, no one is coming to save me. I've got God and me 😂. And I will make it happen

[@unschooling4creators]

I love the new approach to your video content. There is so much value that you provide in general, but this video inspires me on a deeper level to see how your integrity and discipline spans across your day and life. Really love it. Please keep doing more especially around writing.

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

You didn't have to show it, so I appreciate it. Motivation. Thanks.

[@itswayneorshine]

Every video I've ever watched of yours makes so much sense. But THIS video somehow made it all make so much more sense. Simple and chill, yet EPIC.

[@ecompaulw]

Loved this one, Dan. We’re always looking for our heroes & mentors to show something oddly unique & specific in how they spend their time each day, and typically we discover that they spend their time very similarly to how we’re already spending ours. The magic is in being honest with what we’re actually doing, building & creating in those work blocks, and what we’re really doing when we show up to the gym, and what we’re really eating. How you spend your day in particular, is not complex, but we look for complexity. The answer is actually doing the basics, the simple stuff, and being honest with ourselves about the degree of quality, consistency & intentionality in our output & execution in those simple, obvious parts of our day.

[@Iamdcameron]

This is literally my routine with slight differences being a family man. I started this after I got out the military. I recently purchased all Dans intellectual properties. Now it’s time to increase my legacy. Thanks for the video Dan.

This is the lifestyle I want to have! Thanks for showing the process. This was instructional and inspirational. I hope this “A Day In The Life” format becomes a regular thing. I learned a whole lot more by seeing what the life of a creative entrepreneur looks like. I loved it.

[@conanmagruder]

People seem to like what people do far more than I used to think. All your writing content encouraged me to create more and now you've encouraged a finished workout too.

[@ParasTube]

I love seeing behind the scene stuff and how the cogs work. I find that practical information is so much more useful than someone talking at you for half an hour.

[@YveMbanefo]

This was most helpful Dan, Thank you for showing us this part of your life and breaking it down to normal, bite size and achievable steps. This makes it so easy to understand the steps to progress and consistency. You ARE a teacher !

[@JohnCarlosMartinez]

Valuable. Elevating and mastering the mundane on a daily basis is a major key.

[@michaelpham4238]

You're just a normal bro... and thanks for showing me that. I've been in a massive funk for the longest (many many years) and spend most of my time just smoking weed... all day and night. I don't want to live like this... I have so much potential... and thanks for reminding me of that. Thumbs up

[@jenne7405]

Loved getting a glimpse into your lifestyle and habits. I have been building a new life as a creator and solo entrepreneur after leaving my corporate career and it takes some time to see the payoff. Our daily habits and consistency are crucial to hitting those milestones.

[@GaryBryanDobbsSales]

A behind the scenes look into the way you choose to live your life is interesting. Learning more about you and seeing where your personal brand came from is something I’m focused on right now. Actively working on reps through a set of exercises you taught “One Person Business”, “4 Hour Workday”, and “Digital Leverage” to architect the business of me I’m building. Years ago people disappointed me and I vowed to not let anyone steal my time and equity%. Here I am after years of health, relationship, and work issues that were sucking the life out of me. Even though I gave, my returns were pathetic. So I’m chiseling away at the stone to carve out the man people will admire 1,000 years from now. Thank you Dan.

[@anikatimmons4208]

I usually never comment but I felt the need to share some feedback. Seeing the visuals of your everyday life definitely helps bring an even better understanding of how the day to day life actually looks. This was a great idea. Thank you for this.

[@ohdearitsmandy]

Nice format 🙂 Would love to see more of those. It's usually the little everyday things that make a difference. Everyday things seem more accessible and achievable, which is why they can be a good motivation.

[@antstott7017]

I love this video because it shows you in your real life and gives such a great insight into how you run things. One of my philosophies is around ‘there are no absolutes’, you kind of speak about this in your videos without labelling it. I approach my life much the same, for example exercise everyday and eat clean. Now that doesn’t mean that happens 100% of the time it’s what happens most of the time and allows me to ‘be normal’ like you mention when eating out with family and friends

[@sandancing_]

I don't usually write comments, and I believe this is the first one I'm leaving on your channel. This was my favorite video. No one talks about their daily and normal lives. Thanks for that 🙌🙏

[@MalinAtkins]

Thanks for the inside view! I often overcomplicate things in my head so it was a relief to see how you repeated simple levers to achieve insane results. it's hard for me to believe in how much money you make and if i could do that but I trust you and really appreciate the message your sharing combining spirituality with business.

[@mattscho10]

This video was, as well, if not a high-quality assurance that another one of our favorite content creators does what they preach. This content, while becoming the normal for the viewer to strengthen their bond with the creators, seats those subconscious thoughts and curiosities of whether or not we are being taken advantage of and brings us into their lives. It is appreciated to know you in a sense, even without shaking your hand.

[@Architect1]

Hi Dan, I just wanted to say thank you for deciding to make this type of creation as a part of your life's mission and purpose. I've been mentored by other successful people who've "made it" many years ago but I always thought that it was just missing something. Thank you for helping me put a name on it (at least so far) and being that first role model for me in this area of my life. I believe what was missing was Creation- not even in an "artsy" or ultra-passionate sense. But could even be taken in a sense of creating your own world or bubble in reality where others find value and solutions to their problems. Not sure which video or newsletter you've said this in- but I also believe (just like you do) that part of true holistic success is creating your own niche (which takes a ton of effort. and i very much respect you for probably the unbelievable time and effort you've put in to create). Much love, Dan. I've been a lurker for quite a bit. But I've benefited quite a lot from this world or niche you've built so far. It's the first time I've understood and felt understood by someone- while being provided actionable knowledge. And I'm not even enrolled in Kortex University yet. The value you provide is insane. I'm excited to see where you take this and excited to grow with you 🧡

[@thebenkalungi]

Thank you for sharing this video. I find lifestyle videos relatable because they show how to incorporate certain things into my life. Listening to someone talk about it is one thing, but seeing it in action gives me a better perspective on organizing my life. This video is truly inspirational to me. Thank you, Dan.

[@robertwaters2032]

Dan, Great video. Thank you for sharing this day in the life prospective that we don't usually see in your videos.

Who would have thought that Sardines was the missing ingredient in my life. Jokes asides, what a fantastic approach to habit building via the simplicity of it. My key takeaway was the Build-Publish-Maintain / Long term-short term-immediate term approach to activities throughout the day (90min blocks for each of these). Have a great one!

[@CrackaLackTV]

I’ve been waiting on you to start vlogging and doing more content outside of the talking head videos. I love your advice on no niche, but your content style was very rinse and repeat. When I think of no niche, I think of the ability to show yourself, in multiple ways (thoughts, teaching, vlogging/documenting, etc.) Continue to evolve and experiment with different styles of content all still based around you. Looking forward to it!

[@chrislabat]

I really like this style of video. Helps me see how you produce the type of things you do on a daily scale. Favorite part was the long term, short term, and immediate way way of splitting up work blocks. Definitely something I'm implementing
