Anything that motivates you to get up at 5am is healthy

Fill in the blank. “Don’t be motivated by _____________.”

I disagree with whatever you wrote. If it gets me up at 5am I don’t care what it is.

I got up at 5am today because…

  • I was afraid that I wasn’t going to complete a project.
  • I want to be home by 5pm because my wife NEEDS me home.
  • I can be very unproductive so it’s better to get my unproductive time out of the way by 8am so I’m out of excuses.
  • I get a better parking spot at 6am.
  • I’m not a jerk to my wife and kids when they wake up (I am usually very impatient and want to get to work around the time they wake up).
  • There are virtually no distractions this early in the morning other than the ones I create.
  • All successful people I respect get up early.

Back to work…
7:13am
