If you wake up just one hour earlier each day, that amounts to 15 extra days of time - each year. Two hours earlier gives you an extra month - each year. Imagine what you can get done with that extra month? No matter how much money you have, you can’t buy more time. There are only 24 hours in everyone’s day. This puts a high price on your time.

What secrets do the wealthy share? Successful people are up at 5 am, or earlier, finding more time to dig into and finish projects.

Five reasons rising early give more productivity: 1) early hours improve your concentration, thereby, giving you more time to focus on important tasks while the rest of the world is asleep, 2) fewer interruptions from the family, 3) no interrupting phone calls from varied businesses or the inquiring public, 4) Brains tend to be more alert in the morning. You make better decisions and you get more done, and 5) you would have enough uninterrupted time to compile a list of the ten most important items that you plan to complete today. These can be checked off as they are completed...or not, your choice. Any left undone are then added to the top of tomorrows list, giving them priority. This way you never miss a step, or miss a deadline.

You might have thought that wealthy successful people work non-stop, including into the wee hours, now you know the opposite is true. Instead, they use their late-night hours for other activities like family time, reading, or relaxing in a warm bath or shower before bed.

Playing soft, quiet music will help you fall asleep and stay asleep. The constant sound will help to drown out any external environmental noises like traffic, sirens, and snoring partners or pets. You will wake up feeling fresh and alive.

Let’s make time fly so fast in the morning that we gain an extra month or two this year. See you at 5 A.M.
