So why do you wake up so early and how do you get yourself to do that ?
This is a great question , and we get asked this a lot . So the philosophy that I'm really going to talk about today is how can you achieve more in less time ?
And if that means waking up early , going to sleep later , whatever that looks like for you , I want you to find your way , because this is what I found to help people have even more success , including both of us , because working full-time while growing a business and having kids and working on our health , it took getting really creative with ways that we can do
that . Now , for me personally , what time I wake up is 3 am . Now , I know that's a little crazy , but hear me out with this it's the universal principles that are going to matter most . So let's start off with why .
Now , like we always do on this channel , I want to break it down into three different pieces the mindset , the tactics and the accountability , or getting yourself to show up and do it . First off is the mindset . You see , I was searching for a way of being able to achieve more in less time .
Early on , I was kind of just throwing more time at things , thinking that that was the answer . But when it comes to like when you wake up and how your habits and morning routines are .
It's very specific for every single individual person , but really programming in your mind that I want to be able to achieve more in less time will help you not only decide when to wake up , but also make sure that you don't pull from your sleep when it comes to the end of the day .
Now , with that mindset in mind , I want to talk about the tactics that we employ , and that is thinking about our universal prime time . So , as humans , we usually have one or two times during the day that we just seem laser focused . We get more done in less time .
It's one of those things like for me personally , in the morning time I can do about two hours worth of work , and it's like eight hours of my normal work . If I were to do it later in the day . Now , at nighttime , I'm pretty much zonked out .
My brain doesn't work so well and it literally takes me 30 minutes to make a simple decision about what I'm going to eat for dinner , and so what I do is I use that to my strengths and I think about when are the times that I get more done and how do I make sure that I'm awake during those times and doing the most important activities .
Now this leads us into part number three , which is accountability , or how do you get yourself to take action ? Number one is reminding yourself that you want to get more done in less time so you can have more time to do the things you really want to do .
The second thing is you got to figure out a way of tracking to see when is your universal prime time . Is it nighttime , is it during the day , is it early in the morning ? Figuring out like when you get the most stuff done will help you rearrange your wake-up schedule so you can get more done in less time .
So , like Mark said , he doesn't tell you that you need to wake up when he wakes up because it's all about the universal principles , it's just about what feels good to you . When do you have the most energy ?
Because energy is everything you need to find out when you're on your A game and then utilize that so that you can get not only the most things done , but the most important things done . Remember , you don't have to do it like everybody else . You just need to find what works best for you .
And I just want to call out one thing here , and that is how much I appreciate you for being willing to even have this conversation .
I know you're wanting to give , I know you want to make a huge impact in the world , and I know you have a solution to problems that people are currently experiencing right now and you're willing to find the way to tap into your universal primetime so you can make the biggest impact for you and for your family . We appreciate you for doing that .
Always remember it's never about burning yourself out , sacrificing your family time or preventing yourself from getting more sleep . It's all about working smarter , not harder .
