Slacker 5AM Experiment

 Once I got over the horror of being awake at 5am it wasn't that bad. I did my walk and learn at the same time. That's when I learned what that 20/20/20 would look like for me. It looks like 90 minutes. Walking from 5:15 to nearly 6 am. Then fixing tea and journalling and working in my planner until 6:30.  I was quite productive in the morning and got many tasks off my list before my friend came to pick me up for afternoon activities. It's her birthday week. SO I was very pleased that i used the morning time effectively. I was EXHAUSTED by 8:30pm. I live with my Dad and usually he goes to bed early and I stay up. But last night I was like, I have to go. I showered was in bed by 9:15 and finished reading and lights out at 10am.  So overall, Day 1 successful. 

I’m not a type A personality. I’m not a driven, ambitious, go-getter entrepreneur. I tend to go with the flow and take the slower path. It’s my personality and always has been. I have achieved. I have a Master’s Degree and been successful in two careers, on the way to a third. But I did it in my time and while being driven may have helped, I often still voted for sleep over killing myself for a task or project.   I’m not the type of person to be attracted to the 5AM Club or Robin Sharma. Sharma seems like a type A personality. He seems like the guy who would enjoy spinning especially if the instructor did a lot yelling. That’s just my impression. Wikipedia says he was a litigation lawyer who gave it up at 25 to write self-help motivational books that help people achieve not only career success but personal emotional and spiritual balance. He has written 12 books including MegaLiving and the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. He has his own coaching business. Sharma Leadership International...
