Waking up early doesn’t make you productive, it just makes you awake earlier
I’ve tried the whole “wake up early and fix your life” thing more times than I can count. And honestly, most of the time I’m just… awake earlier, not actually more productive.
If anything, I just end up being tired sooner and doing the same amount of work I would’ve done anyway, just stretched across more hours.
It feels like people treat waking up early as some kind of personality upgrade, when in reality it only works if your energy and habits actually match it.
Otherwise, it’s just you sitting there at 6am wondering why you chose suffering
