Do you have to wake up early? There is a theory about waking up time: you become more productive if you consciously and deliberately decide when to wake up. Many productivity experiments, interviews, and studies have found that the most productive people do not function on autopilot, they do not react passively to incoming tasks, but work purposefully and clearly articulate their intentions.
If those who get up earlier are more productive than those who get up late, it is only because they consciously decide when to wake up and what to do afterward. The mere fact of waking up early will not make you successful and productive if you don't know what to do in that free time.
Both the person who wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and the person who wakes up at 8:30 a.m. have 16 hours from which to put together a productive and meaningful day.
And all the difference in productivity is determined by where and how you direct your time, attention, and energy.
