Why waking up at 4.30a

I love waking up at 4.30am on most days and I love indoctrinating my clients into this as well after they attend my 3-day business masterclass Nail It & Scale It.
And there are real reasons why I do this and preach about this to other people too.
People are more productive between 4.30am and 7am.
And why is that? Well, two reasons:
- Your hormones are at their highest during that time of the morning
- You have the least amount of distractions.
Our brains, by nature, don’t want to work hard
It is looking to literally expend the least amount of energy possible. And so, your brain puts on these cognitive filters which filter all incoming information and only put through to you the information that is most relevant and important based on what is a threat or an opportunity.
As a result, when you get into the day and you’re being bombarded with an enormous amount of information, your brain is constantly filtering information and therefore, your ability to ascertain the difference between what’s important and what’s not, and what’s an opportunity and what’s a threat, is diminished almost immediately depending on your level of self-awareness.
So, between the hours of 4.30am and 7am, you have less information coming in so you have greater scope to interpret the information that’s coming to you.
What times do you find are your optimal working hours?

4 年The hardest part is to kick off the day early while still having more than 7 hours of sleep. As long term lack of sleep can come at cost of health. Always reminds me this TED talk. https://www.ted.com/talks/matt_walker_how_sleep_can_improve_your_immunity/transcript?language=en
