I'm up at 430 every day and I can't help it... but I get so much done before 10am it's kind of amazing. From 10 on I'm usually on a job so I'm pretty tied up until around 4.
Love getting up early to be productive. I'm a 5 am guy myself. It's quiet, I get to sip my coffee and take my time and I'm actively freeing up the rest of my day by getting stuff done first thing. Such a great feeling.
Maybe 4 days a week - Get up when I feel like it. Coffee, news, bills, etc until 8:30. Hang with wife until 9:30. Project and property management 10-11:30. Lunch break. Project and property management 1-2:30. Gym 3-4. Home by 4:30 after a gruelingly hard day.
Other 3 days a week - Significantly less work lol. Thanks real estate. Life is good, clocks and calendars are for kids.
i love this thread! i am a strong proponent of early mornings myself. the days i do this are so much more productive than the days when i ease into my schedule. my wife is not a fan of early mornings, so i have to work around that. haha!! i have found that my most productive time is during the early morning hours before any distractions hit my radar. pro tip :: i love podcasts, but they often derail my train of thought... so i make sure to crank up my headphones with non lyrical music. i'm sure it doesn't work for everybody, but this combo turns me into superman. 8^)
