I worked full time & went to night university. 0445 wake up to get showered, suited & booted to get to the train station before 0530. I caught the train & paid my bills via my phone as I travelled to work. I brought a coffee I made from home & drank it as I skimmed through my mail then paid the bills using my phone. It was 1 hour to myself as I read the newspaper & travelled to work. I found I had 1 hour more of productive time per day. After arriving at work the place was dead quiet & just perfect for me as I got stuck into my work. I loved the peace & quiet but found I had gained more time in my day thanks to this early start.

What I found interesting about Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz is that it didn’t just focus on how you feel. A lot of the questions seemed to be about what you actually do when you’re overwhelmed, uncomfortable or under pressure. That probably says more than simply asking whether you feel anxious.

FEET ON THE FLOOR AT 5 a.m. on Sept 22, 2026, and every day after!<br>Watched this vid (twice) around 1 a.m. (couldn't sleep), so it was too late to implement it this morning, but I've gotten some ideas and tools to work with to start fresh tomorrow. I realized that my old habit of journaling and studying or writing ended around COVID when my early morning routines were disrupted. In the years since, changed priorities and poverty put me in survival mode so I forgot about all those things I used to love doing and how helpful they were. This vid reminded me what it felt like to have those quiet morning hours. I'm too broke and the old ritual doesn't work for me anymore (I work later in the day than before), but re-building that quiet routine is vital because THAT is what's been missing: it brought me hope and sanity. I figured out my starting point, and I'm re-building my quiet schedule and goals now.

It is 5:30am. I woke up at 5am, today is my first day. My seed is travel/journeying the world

Excellent video!! I totally agree; I am an early bird! I pray at 4am then at 5am I go back to sleep! It so happens I started a course. But my days are long. I will continue to wake up at 4 am, but spend 5- 7 am on studying my course, which I have to catch up on. This video is confirmation for me to commit to the 90 days so I can get certified! Thank you for helping me with my struggle. Take care!

The 34 YO gets home from the diner at 1AM, shower and decompresses for an hour and then asleep by 2AM. He's supposed to sleep until 9AM! That's 7 hours of sleep, that's healthy!!! 5 AM only works as a wake up time if your bedtime is 9 PM but at 9 PM this guy is still finishing his shift at the diner so 5 AM makes no sense. If he did sleep until 9 AM and he didn't leave for work until 1 PM so he could start his shift at 3PM he would still have 4 hours to learn whatever he wanted AND he would be well rested which is absolutely critical to learning new skills. This non-sensical virtue signaling BS is out of control. Oh, and my workday starts at 4 AM five days a weeks so I don't want to hear shit about shit.
