..is that you don’t feel behind when you get started. You can get through your morning routine relaxed, get to work early, and feel great.
When I first read Robin Sharma’s ‘wake up at 5am’ maxim, I rubbished it for a year as I was a proud “owl” i.e. the night was my preferred time for getting things done. I finally gave it a shot and over the past 2 years I’ve been waking up around 545-610am consistently and it’s been good. But, I tried out waking up at 5am last week and, boy, I could feel a world of a difference.
Getting through the morning routine relaxed without a sense of urgency is a big win – you know you don’t have to worry about an early unanswered email or task. We do remarkable work when we are relaxed because of the kind of focus relaxation brings.
Now to make 5am a habit.
