Day 1 of getting up at 3am. I have come to the conclusion, especially after a conversation with God yesterday, that getting up at 3am is the only way to really beat the enemy I call "interruptionism". Yesterday, I had 10 CRITICAL things to get done. Of the 10, I accomplished ZERO. I began the first one, got interrupted, and never got back to it before bedtime. I have read books and seen talks by extremely successful people who have used this kind of tactic against the world. The world will interrupt, interrupt, interrupt us all day long. The answer for many successful people is to get your day's work done BEFORE the world wakes up and starts to interfere with your plans for the day. As I analyzed this strategy yesterday, I thought about how early I will have to go to bed at night to pull this off. I asked myself, what do I really do after 7pm anyway? I realized that after 7pm, I pretty much just decompress from the day's stress and don't accomplish anything anyway. So, sacrificing a "life" after 7pm is not really sacrificing anything compared to accomplishing my current list of life goals. Wish me luck!
