As far as I know , the Prophet (PBUH) used to divide his day into 3 parts : one third for worshipping his Lord, another for the Ummah ( people's affairs) and another for household and family affairs. Maybe someone can provide further details. Salam

il tell you about the morning as much as i know if some knows more they can correct me inshaAllah that way ill revise and learn
Bismillah
the Prophets SAW used to always pray tahajud apparently for us its sunna but for him it was fard. So he used to wake up 1 or 2 hrs before fajr and then recite the first 10 ayahs of Al-Imran. Prophet SAW gave dawah to his Karin (the jinn that wispers to you) and he was a muslim, so he used to wake up easily.
after that he used to get up do wudu and pray 11 rakat tahajjud prayer.
once he was done with that he used to lie in the mosque waiting for fajr. Prophet SAW used to love the Adhaan and used to encourage Bilal RA to call out

The details about the daily life of Rasuluallah is spread in many books..and it might be a little difficult to gather them all here...as they are so many...but from the few hadiths I have come across...he (pbuh) used to do things which you wouldn't believe in his honor and status to Allah and the Muslims would do..and that was all due to his humbleness and kindness (pbuh)...
I read that The Prophet (pbuh) used to buy groceries for his wives..carrying them himself all the way to their chambers...he helped his wives (radhiya allaho a'anhom) around the house with whatever was supposed to be done that day..and nothing would interrupt his work around the house except going out of it to pray...he used to swipe the floors...fix his ripped sandals and sow his ripped clothes with his own beloved hands...he used to feed the animals (i.e. cows..camels..goats..sheep)..and milk them...and he would get up assist his servants should they get exhausted with a chore (allowing them to rest)...and he would eat with them should they prepare his food...he would go out of his house..shake hands and stops to chat with any and every person who stopped him to greet him and/or speak to him (pbuh)...that is in addition to his presence in the masjid an an Imam and a teacher to all the Muslims...
He (pbuh) was a busy man...simply put...as most of the things I mentioned are things in need of daily or regular attention...but sobhanallah...he (pbuh) made it a point to give each aspect of his life its value and fullfil it most beautifully and most perfectly...without the slightest complaining
This topic is extensive...I looked around and it seems that there are 3 books which can help you learn about it better...I don't know if they are available in English...but I will write you the names and inshallah you can find them:
1. Kitabul Shamae'el by Al-Tirmidhi.
2. The Character and Manners of Al-Nabiy (pbuh) by Abi Shaikh Al-Asbahani.
3. Kitabu Zaad Al-Maa'ad by Ibn Al-Qayyim.

as the sister muslima said; mashAllah at her manner of speaking, may Allah be pleased.
He was most modest and far from being arrogant or proud. He forbade people to stand up at his presence as other people usually do for their kings. Visiting the poor, the needy and entertaining them are some of his habits. If a slave invited him, he would accept the invitation. He always sat among his friends as if he were an ordinary person of them. ‘Aishah said that he used to repair his shoes, sew or mend his dress and to do what ordinary men did in their houses. After all, he was a human being like others. He used to check his dress (lest it has some insects on). Milking the she-sheep and catering for himself were some of his normal jobs. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) was the most truthful to his pledges, and it is one of his qualities to establish good and steady relationship with his relatives — ‘Silat-Ar-Rahim’. He is the most merciful, gentle and amiable to all people. His way of living is the simplest one. Ill-manners and indecency are two qualities completely alien to him. He was decent, and did not call anybody names. He was not the sort of person who cursed or made noise in the streets. He did not exchange offences with others. He pushed back an offence or a n error by forgiveness and overlooking. Nobody was allowed to walk behind him (i.e. as a bodyguard). He did not feel himself superior to others not even to his slaves (men or women) as far as food or clothes were concerned.
Whoever served him should be served by him too. ‘Ugh’ (an utterance of complaint) is a word that had never been said by him to his servant; nor was his servant blamed for doing a thing or leaving it undone. Loving the poor and the needy and entertaining them or participating in their funerals were things the Prophet (Peace be upon him) always observed. He never contempted or disgraced a poor man for his poverty. Once he was travelling with his Companions and when it was time to have food prepared, he asked them to slaughter a she-sheep. A man said: I will slaughter it, another one said: I will skin it out. A third said: I will cook it. So the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said: I will collect wood for fire. They said: “No. We will suffice you that work.” “I know that you can do it for me, but I hate to be privileged. Allâh hates to see a slave of his privileged to others.” So he went and collected fire -wood.
pg 223
Let us have some of the description of Hind bin Abi Halah: “The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) was continually sad, thinking perpetually. He had no rest (i.e. for long). He only spoke when it was necessary. He would remain silent for a long time and whenever he spoke, he would end his talk with his jawbone but not out of the corners of his mouth, i.e. (snobbishly). His speech was inclusive. He spoke inclusively and decisively. It was not excessive nor was it short of meaning. It was amiable. It was in no way hard discoroning. He glorified the bounty of Allâh; even if it were little. If he had no liking for someone’s food, he would neither praise nor criticize.
He was always in full control of his temper and he would never get seemed angry unless it was necessary. He never got angry for himself nor did he avenge himself. It was for Allâh’s sanctity and religion that he always seemed angry.
When he pointed at a thing he would do so with his full hand-palm, and he would turn it round to show surprise. If he were angry he would turn both his body and face aside. When he was pleased, he cast his eyes down. His laughter was mostly smiling. It was then that his teeth which were like hail-stones were revealed.
He never spoke unless it was something closely relevant to him. He confirmed the brotherhood relationship among his Companions; and thus he made them intimate and did not separate them or implant enmity among them. Those who were honourable with their peoples, were honoured and respected by him and were assigned rulers over their own peoples. His cheerfulness was never withdrawn at anyone’s face; even at those whom he warn ed his people from or those whom he himself was on the alert of. He visited friends and inquired about people’s affairs. He confirmed what was right and criticized the awful and tried to undermine it. He was moderate in all affairs. He was equal to others and was not privileged. He would never act heedlessly, lest the others should get heedless. Each situation was dealt with in its proper due.
Righteousness was his target; so he was never short of it nor indifferent to it. People who sat next to him were the best of their people and the best of them all were — for him — those who provided common consultations. For him, the greatest ones and the highest in ranks were the best at providing comfort and co-ordination and succour. Remembrance (of Allâh) was a thing he aimed at and established whenever he sat down or stands up. No certain position was assigned for him to sit on. He sits at the end of the group, seated next to the last sitter in the place. He ordered people to do the same. He entertained his participiants in social gatherings alike so that the one addressed would think that there was no one honoured by the Prophet (Peace be upon him) but himself. He whoever sat next to him or interrupted him in order to ask for his advice about an affair of his, would be the first to start the talk and the one to end it. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) would
listen to him patiently till he ended his speech. He never denied a request to anyone, if unapproachable, then few gratifying words would work, instead.
His magnanimity, broad mindedness his tolerance could embrace all people and entitled him to be regarded as father for them all. In justice, all of them were almost equal. Nobody was better than another except on the criterion of Allâh fearing. A favoured one, to him, was the most Allâh fearing.
His assembly was a meeting of clemency, timidness, patience and honesty. Voices were not raised in rows or riots. Inviolable things were never violable. Fearing Allâh and worship were their means to sympathy and compassion. They used to esteem the old and have mercy on the young. They assisted the needy and entertained strangers.
The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) was always cheerful, easy, pleasant-tempered and lenient. He was never rude or rough nor clamorous or indecent. He was neither a reproacher nor a praiser. He overlooked what he did not desire, yet you would never despair of him. Three qualities he disposed of: hypocrisy, excessiveness, and what was none of his concern. People did not fear him in three area: — for they were not qualities or habits of his —: He never disparaged, or reproached nor did he seek the defects or shortages of others. He only spoke things whose reward was Divinely
desirable. When he spoke, his listeners would attentively listen casting down their heads. They only spoke when he was silent. They did not have disputes or arguments about who was to talk. He who talked in his presence would be listened to by everybody till he finished his talk. Their talk would be about the topic discussed or delivered by their first speaker. The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) used to laugh at what they laughed at and admired what they used to admire. He would always show patience with a stranger’s harshness at talk. He used to say:
pg 224
• “When you see a person seeking an object earnestly, assist him to get his need. And never ask for a reward except from the reward -Giver, i.e. Allâh.”
Kharijah bin Zaid said: “The Prophet (Peace be upon him) was the most honoured among the people with whom he sat. His limbs could hardly be seen. He was often silent and rarely talked when speech was not a necessity. He turned away from those whose speech was rude or impolite. His
laughter was no more than a smile. His speech, which was decisive, it was neither excessive nor incomplete. Out of reverence and esteem and following the example of their Prophet (Peace be upon him), the Companions’ laughter at his presence — was smiling, as well.”
On the whole the Prophet (Peace be upon him) was ornamented with peerless attrib utes of perfection. No wonder to be like that for he was brought up, educated and taught (the Qur’ân) by Allâh. He was even praised by Allâh:
• “And verily, you [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ] are on an exalted standard of character.” [68:4]
Those were the attributes and qualities that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) enjoyed which made the hearts of souls of the people close to him, draw near to him and love him. Those traits made him so popular that the restraint and enmity of his people grew less and they started to embrace
Islam in large crowds.
This description is in fact no more than a rapid review or rather short brief lines of Muhamma d’s (Peace be upon him) aspects of full perfection. Trying to encompass the whole perfect picture of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). No one can ever claim to be possessed of full knowledge or complete
mastery of the great attributes of the greatest man in this universe. No one can ever give this man, the top of perfection, his due descrpition. He was a man who always sought Allâh’s light, to such an extent that he was wholly imbued with the Qur’ânic approach.
• O Allâh! send your blessings (and the Holy Words of Yours) upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You have send blessings upon Ibrâhim and the family of Ibrâhim.
You are worthy of all praise, All Glorious.
O Allâh! bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You have already blessed
Ibrâhim and the family of Ibrâhim. You are worthy of all praise, All Glorious.
