Forget Waking Up Early, Do This Instead

So if 5:00 AM isn't the answer, what is? First, stop chasing a fixed

wake-up time. Instead, create a fixed start ritual. Not "I wake up at

5:00," but, "When I sit down, I start this." Same desk, same first action

every day. Open the notebook, write the date, start the first question.

It doesn't matter if it's 7:00 AM or 11:00 AM. Your brain learns, "When this happens,

we focus." No motivation required. Second, stop scheduling your day by the

clock. Schedule it by energy. You already know this about yourself. Some hours your

brain is sharp. Some hours it's useless. So why force deep study at 5:00 AM
