This is a very interesting question to ponder! Imagining this would definitely clear up what I want to achieve in my life.
First, getting up no later than 09:30am - I have been a night owl for too long and miss too much beautiful morning times. How about going for a quick swim in the beach before taking breakfast? To me the morning has to be slow and relaxing; the rush hour haze just kills the day.
Then comes in the morning work session. No matter what task I am at hand, presumably it would be something demanding much brain drain. But those are what I truly enjoy and pride myself on, so it would be a great time. There has been research suggesting when someone directs his entire concentration to one single task for extended periods of time, he will enter a "flow" state and this will bring the ultimate happiness. Therefore, a perfect day has to accompanied by a flow state for a few hours, where I will not be distracted by meaningless communication.
I don't really like lunch - the rush is again not welcoming and my stomach probably is still full from my late breakfast. So maybe an afternoon tea at two or three, when I have depleted much of my energy and need a recharge. Also this may be good time to do some communication with others. Coffee or tea with little bread or cake would an awesome choice of refreshment!
Then the second work session shall resume around 4ish, and continue until after dawn. My prime time has always leaned towards later in the day so I am likely to be most productive between 5-7:30pm. Most importantly, this shields me off the rush hour hustle and bustle and keeps my routine quiet. When I call it a day from work, I shall go on a meal with my romantic partner for some cool conversation.
Hopefully time will allow me to have another exercise session - maybe tennis, gym, yoga or jogging - before heading home at 11pm. After cleaning up and winding down for the day, reserve an hour or so for reading and watching videos, then hit to bed before 2am. This might seem late for many people, but considering I am waking up after 9am that's good enough.
If I can spend a day like this together with someone I feel truly connected, I shall call it a perfect one.
