Open up asana, check our priority queue and ensure my in progress/upcoming are set accurately (remote team, so this is very important)
I work mostly with data scientists. So, some days it's pure cowboy coding. Experimental and research stuff. Lots of image processing, NLP, and API design stuff.
After I finish the first task of the day, contact the Chief Scientist/senior data scientists. Review, consult, plan if we can do more to it or if its worth 'graduating' to a larger product.
Or, if its a larger, production project consult with product and VP of eng as well. Ensure all delivery needs are met.
At the end of the day we have an informal chat of no specified amount of time. The 'end' of the day is often midnight-1am-ish for us because we have people in 5 time zones. We try to be as flexible as possible especially with a guy in South Korea.
I understand your company has lots of remote data scientists... Are you hiring? I'd be interested to have a go if it's the case. How can I contact you?
This is an average day? That seems to me like an awfully long time at work. I'd like to ask a few sincere questions. Do you really enjoy being in the office? Do you feel compelled to be there? Do you choose not to have outside activities, or is it a side effect of this schedule? Thanks for the reply, if you choose.
9-11 maybe wake up, sex, or not
10-11 check the internets
11-3 frantically work on tasks that I should have started at 9a
2 or so : fry some potatoes and eggs and eat them with avocados, cheese, and tortillas
after lunch till 5 or 6 frantically work on tasks
11-sleep - check social media and write messages to folks who might need what I do

7-9 practice playing jazz with old people (typically only one or two days a week)
9-12 drink some beer and practice new programming techniques
2 or so go to sleep with my beautiful and talented wife, sex, or not
Naw, that's me writing in the 12-2 time frame when I get blitzed drunk with my violinist wife and her pianist. Before going to bed. It will probably tip over someday but I can say that it has been working for the last 5 years.

08.45 pm → Take a bath. Seriously, if you have access to a bathtub and you're not taking a regular bath, you're missing out.
09.15 pm → Head to Uptown Espresso and do something vaguely intellectual: this is generally either OSS, writing a blog post, or reading (right now: Big Sur).

12.02 am → Guiltily browse Twitter on my phone for what seems like hours.

All in all: I get to walk to work, spent eight hours doing something I care about, and generally enjoy myself (as long as I don't look at how much I spend at Chipotle each month.) Life isn't too complicated.
Thanks for asking! For context, I live in Southern California.
I wake up some time in between 10 and 2.
The majority of my day is spent alternating between playing guitar, playing Super Smash Bros., programming (work), learning (physics lately), and cooking. Besides on occasion, I don't have the best ability to sit down and do one thing for more than an hour at a time.
On most days, I walk downtown (about 40 minutes of walking daily) to eat, shop, or just relax. Lately I've been packing lunch, getting high, and walking to the park a few blocks away. It has a really awesome man-made pond that is home to plenty of critters.
On some days, I lift weights or bodyweight train at home.
I work freelance (iOS/web dev) so I can pay rent.
I'm building a B2B web app with two other people who live across the country. We have an hour long Skype call once a week.
I quit my bullshit 10am to 8pm startup job 10 months ago. I'm not making much money yet, but as a 23-year-old with no kids I don't care. I'm healthy.
I don't mind you asking! I wish I could be of more help. I've had the same "freelance boss" for the past 6 years. I've worked on a dozen different projects with him; some were his own ideas, but most were for his various clients. I met him through a friend who also worked freelance at the time. This was back when iOS development was in huge demand, everyone thought they had the killer app idea.
He was more than happy to hire a 17-year-old programmer for about $25/hr. I now charge about $120/hr.
I have no clue how he gets most of his clients. I suppose I'm in a privileged position.
Thanks, but I'm in Santa Barbara! I don't often make it to LA. If you're ever passing through SB, feel free to drop me a line (contact info in profile).
Thanks a lot OP. This is exactly something I wanted to ask. Of late I have been feeling like wasting lot of time. I was looking for some kind of inspiration to bring some order to my life.

8pm - 10pm Dinner, Skype, Stream something from my Plex server
10pm - 12/1/2/3am - Work on a personal project or more work stuff. Push some changes and deploy them
??? - 8am - Sleep
I would also play lacrosse on Wednesdays which changes the whole end of my day.
I wake up at 6:40 and make my way to work by 7:00.
I work at GoPro so the work is usually pretty relaxed.
I spend most of the day working on software issues, browsing HN/PH/Quora, and studying programming languages (Java and Python are my flavors of the month).
I leave for school around 1:30 to make it to 2 o'clock classes. I'm there until 5-7pm.
Make my way home to my beautiful wife and baby girl. Eat, exercise, and hit the books. I try to pull the plug sometime around 9 but I'm usually too interested in whatever I'm studying.
My wife is good about keeping me balanced though so I try to spend as much time as possible with her.
Luckily, I sleep like a champ so I'm always out as soon as my head hits the pillow.
My life is crazy busy right now (I also do some freelance work with SumoMe and am trying to get a side business off the ground) but I totally love it. I just wish I were getting paid more!
Wake up between 11:00 and 12:30, arrive at work (Google NYC) by 1:30 or so, leave by 8:30ish (later when I have a good reason), get home, have dinner with my wife if I made it home by 8:00, kiss her goodnight, and take over watching my three-month-old twins until 4-5 AM, at which point I wake up my wife and go to sleep.
In Belgium working for a startup which I just gave my notice to so I can start my own business:
06:00 Alarm goes off and get up
06:15 Leave for work, listen to podcasts or music depending on mood
07:00 arrive at work, check up on email and monitoring tools
07:30 pick a task from Jira and start coding
11:30 daily scrum standup to see what my colleagues are doing and how we can help out each other
12:00 lunch, usually I buy something from the local supermarket and we eat in the office kitchen
12:45 resume work, mostly coding and avoiding meetings
15:30 start commute home, podcasts or music depending on mood
16:15 do freelance work or work on one of my own projects
18:00 pick up my daughter from daycare, have dinner and play with her until she goes to bed
20:15 more freelance/own project work or watch TV shows with my wife
23:00 sleep
The last few weeks I tried moving those 2 hours of freelance work from late in the afternoon to right after I wake up (and move my day job 2 hours later), and this seems to massively improve the quality of the work I get done for my own company while not impacting my day job code quality that much. I suspect this is because otherwise the long commute home is draining a lot of energy.

10:00 wife goes to bed, I'm less of a sleeper so I usual stay up another hour or two working on side projects or sometimes just playing video games.
Assess the situations my wife might have gotten into while I was sleeping and do triage, or wake up gracefully.
Determine which emails and phone calls need a response and reply as briefly as possible.
If we're going somewhere else, prepare the mobile lab for departure and get under way. Otherwise enjoy wherever it is we are.
Connect with business partners and make any outstanding decisions required for that time.
Connect with F/OSS collaborators and audit any outstanding bug reports or feature requests.
Scout around the area with my wife, figuring out what about where we're currently staying is worth coming back for.
Eat something in the local area or come back to the mobile base and make something.
Assess situation of deliverables and code on most mission critical pieces due soonest.
Unravel some visionary pieces coming in the mid/long term and discuss future scenarios with advisors and agents.
Take on a large piece of code that needs to be written, or a large bug that needs to be weeded out.
Make a campfire, have a beer... maybe cook something on the fire.
Watch a few episodes of something on Netflix with my wife... assuming 4G access or WiFi in the location is stable enough.
Either turn in for the night/day or continue with more of whatever large coding project I took on.
Periodically communicate with partners, collaborators, or clients passed to me by agents managing contacts.
Check Slack, and my google calendar for the day.
Open up asana, check our priority queue and ensure my in progress/upcoming are set accurately (remote team, so this is very important)

Totally off topic, I didn't really expect to see you up on HN at midnight on a Friday. Hopefully no fires in CloudFlareLand to put out.
It's perhaps midnight on Friday in SF, but it's 0813 in London :-)
I wake up some time in between 10 and 2.

12:00 Lunch time and hanging out at the proverbial water-cooler with colleagues.
13:15 Meetings and hopefully some productive coding

17:45 Leave for home.
18:30 Reach home. Order dinner, call parents.
19:30 Finish dinner while watching some TV show / talk on Youtube. Head out for a walk / run

The last few weeks I tried moving those 2 hours of freelance work from late in the afternoon to right after I wake up (and move my day job 2 hours later), and this seems to massively improve the quality of the work I get done for my own company while not impacting my day job code quality that much. I suspect this is because otherwise the long commute home is draining a lot of energy.
California:
Wake up at 1 - 2 pm
Wash brush
3 pm go out and get breakfast and listen to podcast
3:30 pm I record podcast
5 pm I play with the kids (niece and nephew)
6 pm fire up laptop edit the podcast write a blog post - if the stars are aligned I may publish.
8 pm I waste time on the web
10 pm watch a movie and dinner.
12 am I open blender and work on my 3d project
3 am I code and experiment new tech.
4 am I listen to another podcast while playing clash of clans
5 am I am consumed by sleep.
Context: I quit my job 6 months ago after 3 and a half year. I am trying a bunch of new things to see what sticks.
