For a long time, the author considered the 5 a.m. club to be empty talk from productivity gurus.

I had two responses: couple goals and ew.

It can sometimes feel that we need to overhaul our lives to get them back on track.

Sometimes this tactic has worked, and sometimes it hasnt.

But within 10 minutes, youre up and over it.

And, crucially, do not press snoozeever.

I dont quite stick to the 20/20/20 ethos; I find it too rigid for me.

I tend to go with the flow of what feels good each morning.

So what has it changed?

Mysex lifeis better, for one.

Consider your New Years resolution handled.

My day-to-day motivation around work has gone up too.

Im also less stressed.

I mean, can you imagine watching Netflix without a lurking sense that youre failing at life?

In short, I am totally head-over-heels with my new 5 a.m. routine.

The only real downside?

My friends have to hear about it a lot.

But if they woke up earlier, it wouldnt encroach on their time so much.Shrugs.
