Monks in todays modern world do alot of things the old fashioned way. They start there day off early, waking up at around 4-5a.m. The first thing they do is pray. They usually pray 3000-5000 times a day (prayers only last around 20seconds). Some monks will work while others will train in Shaolin, a very brutal fighting technique. They cannot eat after 12p.m. unless it is offered by a higher ranked monk. Those are the basics. If youd like to learn more research it :)
