I once heard a speaker say "No one has a time problem. We all get 24 hours, no more, no less, to use each day. No one has a time problem. Everyone has a priority problem."
I make my bed every morning. Have been for years, so it's funny to hear the video say that. I'm up at 5:00 AM most days. I make a cup of coffee, do my devotional, and then spend one hour working on one of the five courses I'm currently working through. I've got three Udemy courses in progress, plus two books, just right now. I work on a different one each day of the week. Thus, despite a busy schedule, I manage to learn something new nearly every single day.
I can also say, the best days are always those that start at 5 AM!
A lot of people are productive when they work late. I, like you, am productive at 5am. When studying for exam next day I can cover a lot of ground at 5am. Your advice about working on something scheduled for an hour is great. I've been trying to develop a reading habit and it's not smooth sailing since I don't schedule things ahead of time and my to-do list is a mess. I find your stance motivating and will try to implement it.
Thanks for the advice.
I really like that way of looking at it (that it's a priority problem not a time problem). There's a book I recently picked up that's in the same vein: "First Things First" by Stephen R. Covey. I'm only about a chapter in so far, but very similar sentiment.
I totally agree! I'm out the door by 5am every morning - read (usually tech/self-improvement books) or podcast (<3 Mindpump!) on the bus, hit the gym for an hour, then head a few blocks over to work. Read on the bus ride home, and repeat. Though I don't make my bed... the boyfriend and I get up at different times and I don't think he'd appreciate it ;)
