Why I Wake Up At 3AM

If you know me, you know that when I'm on, I'm ALL THE WAY ON.

So yes, I do indeed start my day at 3 a.m. and typically grind until dinner time.

I know what you're thinking…

"Why, and when do you sleep?"

I've found that I've got to structure my time to that degree to maintain consistency throughout my week.

But the truth is, I learned this the hard way.

I've tried every traditional model and multiple variations of the 9 to 5.

Society says, "work hard, save your nuggets, take a vacation from time to time, then retire."

But trust me, I've tried that route, and it wasn't enough for me.

So for the last few years, I've not only structured my days and weeks differently, but my schedule for each month to the entire year has changed.

By month, I've started working diligently in sprints of three weeks, with the fourth week dedicated to slowing down to recharge with friends and family.

By year, I've very intentionally put my December and January on easy mode with more of my focus on family, refocus, rest, and minimal work.

Balance looks very different for all of us, and finding your routine is crucial to staying sane in this addictive hustle culture we're all enveloped within.

So here's your reminder that if you're burning jet-like fuel, you've got to cool the engines, or you'll eventually explode.

I mean, let’s be real…

Even the energizer bunny needs to replace its battery.
