Tell us about your day to day experiences.
Here is mine:
7AM. The first alarm goes off. I will typically reset it several more times in 10 minute intervals but usually won't get up until 8, or no later than 9.
Bathroom, coffee or tea, first morning smoke.
Come inside and stretch, check emails and web-stuff for 30 minutes or so, then go back outside and feed the birds. Put food along one pond for those ducks, then another for those ducks. Then another pond for those Geese. Throw some chicken scratch in their coop, give them fresh water, give the Pigeons their food and fresh water, and bring another load of scratch towards the house so the peacocks can have some food away from all the other birds.
Go out back and feed the five dogs, give them fresh water and play with them for a bit.
I'm typically hungry by now, so i'll come inside and make breakfast. Its typically something like four eggs and some bacon, maybe an egg sandwich, maybe some oatmeal with Pomegranate seeds on top or simply just a bowl of cereal.
Do the walk around the property, look for fresh gopher mounds and trap them, make sure everything is in order and that the gates on the perimeter of the property are still closed and locked.
Then I'll come inside, and follow up on work stuff. Calling back Whole Foods, doing marketing research and web-work for two website. Mainly doing a whole lot of research until I get hungry again or feel like doing something else, or unless something needs tended to outside.
Around 3-4 I feed the birds again, and the sun is below the mountain by a quarter till 5. After the sun is down, my motivation to work dwindles and its time to enjoy being young. This typically means I will go ride my bike, watch a movie, have a drink, do whatever.
6 days a week I work like this, with one of those days dedicated to irrigating the entire property and Sundays I take off, although I still have to feed and care for the animals I don't do any other real, actual, work.
