I am most interested in the time of WW2 on, but even before that, who did he meet with? What reasons did he have to travel? How much did he personally make decisions on?
Albert Speer had this to say about Hitler's typical work day in his Memoir "Inside The Third Reich" : "I myself threw all my strength into my work and was baffled at first by the way Hitler squandered his working time. I could understand that he might wish his day to trail off in boredom and pastimes; but to my notion this phase of the day, averaging some six hours, proved rather long, whereas the actual working session was by comparison relatively short. When, I would often ask myself, did he really work?
Little was left of the day; he rose late in the morning and conducted one or two official conferences; but from the subsequent dinner on he more or less wasted time until the early hours of the evening. His rare appointments in the late afternoon were imperiled by his passion for looking at building plans. The adjutants often asked me: "Please don't show any plans today." Then the drawings I had brought with me would be left by the telephone switchboard at the entrance, and I would reply evasively to Hitler's inquiries. Sometimes he saw through this game and would himself go to look in the anteroom or the cloakroom for my roll of plans.
In the eyes of the people Hitler was the Leader who watched over the nation day and night. This was hardly so. But Hitler's lax scheduling could be regarded as a life style characteristic of the artistic temperament.
According to my observations, he often allowed a problem to mature during the weeks when he seemed entirely taken up with trivial matters.
Then, after the "sudden insight" came, he would spend a few days of intensive work giving final shape to his solution. No doubt he also used his dinner and supper guests as sounding boards, trying out new ideas, approaching these ideas in a succession of different ways, tinkering with them before an uncritical audience, and thus pedecting them. Once he had come to a decision, he relapsed again into his idleness."
Speer's book contains many descriptions of Hitler's day to day activities and travels that are to numerous to list here. For more info on Hitlers day to day life please consult these books by members of his staff:
