I’m starting to wake up in the day time now. It use to be so hard for me to wake up early.

John F. Kennedy talks about how his father told him, “You miss the morning, you miss the day.”

This is so true, if I wake up late now, (afternoon) I’ll feel like I missed the whole day, and got nothing done.

It always seems harder to get things done, in the evening than it is in the morning for some reason.

Top five reasons to wake up early in the morning as opposed to the afternoon.

1. The sun gives you energy. Our bodies were made for the sun or something. lol, but sunlight corrects our biological clock, and we’ll feel more energize. If the first thing you do in the morning is step outside for a few minutes, you’ll know what I mean.
2. The sun makes you healthier. Dang, it’s that sun again. You’ll also look and feel more healthy if you wake up in the morning instead of the evening. You ever start to look green? A lot of it has to do with not getting enough sunlight.
3. Awake during business hours. I remember before, when I use to wake up late, that I can never make it to the bank! They usually close at 2-3pm, and if that’s the time you wake up, it’s difficult.
4. Most people wake up early. Your friends and family, usually have a 9-5, and they have to wake up early. If you don’t wake up early, you might not be able to talk to them. Night owls usually are a lonely bunch.
5. Your productivity will go through the roof. Imagine getting the top 3 most important thing you have to do for the day, done by noon… it will totally reshape your life.

It use to be difficult for me to wake up early. I use to feel that, staying up late and “working” was a good way to do things.

Now, I feel that if I miss the morning, I’ll miss the day.

If you are self-employed, like I am, you know how difficult it is to hold yourself accountable. You could literally do nothing for weeks, and no one would care that much. (except maybe your spouses)

It is vital that you start your day early. Rich people wake up early, when everyone else is still sleeping.
