Making lists, and especially hand-written lists make your brain believe that these are the only things you need to focus on. “You must come to peace with a fact that you can’t have it all.” You either master one thing or you become mediocre at many things, but you can’t have both. You must come to peace with a fact that you can’t have it all. So how some people excel and some don’t? They prioritize. We all have time, and just to remind you, we all have 24 hours a day, no matter where you live, how much money you make or how successful you are, you have the same amount of time as everyone else. One of the most common excuses I hear people say to me when I ask so why you don’t exercise, why you don’t write, why you don’t build a business? You have time, I have time, Barack Obama has time. You choose to use it on yourself and your work you love or spend it on a daily mindless routine like commuting, consuming news and dealing with daily errands and work that you hate. In the morning, you have the most precious focus, creative energy and capacity to learn, think and create. The thing is if you don’t make yourself a priority, you will never have time to really improve yourself, take care of yourself and grow to become the greatest version of you. How many times did you want to read, write, reflect on your life, meditate, stretch, visualize, create, take care of yourself but hadn’t had the time? For me it was always a secondary goal, I’d say, it’s ok, I can do it sometime later when I have time. “It’s that easy, you don’t find time, you make it.”Īn important factor of waking up early is to have the “me” time. Instead of watching another TV series, go to bed 1 hour earlier and wake up 1 hour earlier. It’s that easy, you don’t find time, you make it. If you have a vision and don’t have the time to achieve it due to family, full-time job or other commitments, wake up 1 hour earlier and work on it every day, until you make it come true. I’ve been greatly inspired by this article: 12 Lessons of Waking Up at 4:30 a.m. I’ve seen numerous articles, infographics and interviews with the most successful people on the planet and majority of them were emphasizing the importance of getting up early for their success and life balance. The more and more I was concerned about my health and lifestyle the more I saw the benefits of getting up early. Sometimes it would happen, I’d be like, “I’ll just close my eyes for one more minute”. I won’t lie, at the beginning it was a nightmare to wake up early, it’s dark, it’s cold, my eyes can’t open and all I wanted to do was to go back to sleep. My ultimate goal is to go to 4.30 am as I really enjoy working on my morning rituals and getting lots of work done that push me toward my goals. I’ve started at 7 am and managed to stretch it to 5 am. Years passed by and I realized that getting enough sleep on a regular basis is a key to ultimate performance and productivity, not to mention the increased quality of life.įor the last two years, I’ve been experimenting with my morning routine which starts by waking up early. I used to have my peak hours from 1 am to 4 am and would get amazing work done with sharp focus. Waking up early has been giving me the most significant results since I decided to make a shift from a night owl into an early bird. Hopefully, it will be useful and inspiring for you to start engineering your perfect day, that will turn into a perfect life.
