GTA Online Daily Downtime Routine (Optimized for Profit)

Most players don’t have a money problem.

They have a time-wasting problem.

They run random missions, forget passive income, and spend half their session doing things that barely pay.

This fixes that.

This is your optimized daily routine, built around:

• passive income stacking

• cooldown efficiency

• minimum wasted movement

Follow this, and your income stops being random.

THE RULES

Before we start:

• Always move to the closest objective first
