I’m pretty convinced that the one behavior/habit that can change everything for builders is waking up early and starting to work straight away on the thing you want to build!
We can extract so much value from ourselves in the first hours of the day, a lot of people defend the idea of a side-hustle from 5-9, being that thing you work on after your 9-5 job.
But let’s be honest, how many of us are really productive after a whole day of work?
Speaking for me at least, my focus and productivity at the end of the day are shit and so many things can happen during the day that take you off track, so many distractions and stuff.
I found that waking up at 6am and straight away opening the laptop to start doing the most difficult part, the most important work that usually is the one that we most avoid, can have an incredible impact on the rest of your day, and as life is just a very big sequence of days, a very big impact on your life!
Today I managed to wake up at 6am and did just this, 4 hours of work, first I hit some client work that I had been procrastinating on and avoiding for more than one week, after finishing it seemed that an elephant got off my back!
Felt so relieved then started work on guiabelempara.com, that project that I talked about yesterday!
After this, I was so proud of myself and really happy, did my breakfast, organized some stuff, and went to teach my bjj class at 12pm.
As I mentioned yesterday, today is a packed day, but I just feel so good for having had that work session in the morning!
Right now it’s 4pm and I still have 3.5 hours of classes to give but I will do so with a clear mind that I already took some steps towards my goal to build the freedom that I envision.
I’m confident that tomorrow I will do it again! And things will just keep compounding as momentum goes!
Thanks for reading until here and we’ll meet again tomorrow!
