I rise at 5am, run and go through a focus session, shower, eat a healthy breakfast and still have an hour to work on my business. You really cant beat it.

And thanks for the comment!

Yes, consistency in anything is tricky, but when there’s a good reason and a will, there will be a result :)

But wow, getting up early consistently is hard isn’t it! For me, it is worth the sacrifice though, as I feel much better throughout the day.

I know just what you mean. That’s why I have gradually switched from waking up at 9am to 8am, then to 7 am, then to 6, then to 5:30, and now, finally, do it at 4:30am. And still feel like I could really use another half an hour of the early morning silence and freshness! :)

I’m still working on the article, it’s going to be quite big and I’ll release both a post and and PDF version of it, so that people could use it as a guide.

Stay tuned, and good luck with early mornings!

I’m thrilled for your new decision, and glad you have found something else to enjoy!

Talk to you later, take care!

I am a early morning convert. For the past 6 months I have been waking up at 5am. With the right approach it is possible for the morning to be the most enjoyable part of the day. Recently my work required me to start half an hour earlier and I must admit that I resent having half an hour less to myself in the morning. Maybe I should try 4.30 am as well? I will be interested to read your upcoming article.

I just want to tell you that having read your post, I made a DECISION to get up every morning at 6 am each weekday.

Because I ‘work’ (play!) from home, I usually get up at 7 or 8 and I do love being able to create my own hours, however I felt there was something to be gained by the discipline required to rise early. Here are my gains in jut this short time:

* In the two hours prior to 8am, I walk, meditate, read the financial papers or spend time learning more about investing, and have breakfast. I am thus ready to begin work at 8am sharp.
* I have completed tasks that are really important to me – meditation, exercise and learning – before my official day even begins.
* I enjoy a walking through the world when most people are barely waking – I have seen wonders…dew on the grass, birds and animals not yet in daytime hiding, other ambitious people with whom I feel a connection
* In my morning meditations I am experiencing clarity and focus that last through the day

Thanks, Gleb!!!

Alex, thanks for your comment! So far I only eat fruits, but do plan to get started with brown rice and wheat bread.

I guess I do not like feeling tired, so I’m assuming something here. I know of a gentleman who meditates every morning to the sunrise ans swears by it.

Please share some further insights and benefits you have gained by becoming an early-riser, if you will, Gleb. Thanks!

P.S. Congrats on the weight loss!

Good job on switching to healthier diet! I’m glad to know you cut out sugar and coffee, those things are NASTY. Especially sugar… after reading William Daffy’s “Sugar Blues”, I never want eat a gram of white sugar ever again …

I gotta tell you though, I don’t necessarily agree on the low-carb diet thing … Carbs are absolutely essential to human body. Did you try eating GOOD carbs instead? I.e. brown rice, whole wheat bread, etc?
