Starting the day early or working till late night. When it comes to being productive its often said, waking up early and prioritizing your day creates wonder. I have listened to greatest of the achievers; be it Kobe Bryant, Jocko Willink, David Goggins, Tim Cook, Jack Dorsey, Richard Branson or whichever name you could think of amongst the top achievers(in their respective domain). They all have got one thing in common and that's waking up early. Waking up early morning, planning their day and then doing what needs to be done that's all they could think of.

But out of everything why everyone emphasize on waking up early morning, what difference does it make waking up three four hours earlier than other humans beings. From all the things that I could think of its not about at what time you wake up in the morning but its more about the environment that morning has to offer. Early morning are less chaotic than any normal day, you have no one to disturb you, there are no vehicle and machine noise to distract you, you get a calm and soothing morning where you could focus on almost anything.

In one of the last interview of Kobe Bryant with Patrick Bet-David, Kobe explains how waking up early each day can create drastic changes in over a year of the activity. You might not feel the difference in the short term for a week or a month. But as compounding creates wonder for the money that you invest in for long runs same goes with the habit you develop over time. Waking up each day early gives you almost an extra of almost 3 to 4 hours a day. 3 to 4 hours a day depending on how wisely you use them to the maximum investing in yourself could create wonders in long run. From another interview of Elon Musk in Tesla Factory, he mentions how waking up early each morning and setting up four hours each day for a year can create wonders. With this much of time each day one could easily achieve something in six month what others could take an year to accomplish.

In my weeks of research I have keenly observed the top achievers watched their numerous interview, a hundreds of Ted talks, watched a numerous biographies and have learnt that its not at what time they wake up each day . Its the extra hours that they have got to use each day. Followed by the work ethic which could be more or less be compared with how discipline they are in their daily life. Work ethic plays an important role in living a life that you have always dreamt of. Its your work ethic and preservance to do things and you naturally find time to do those task at priority as you found joy in doing those things.

Often its a debatable topic, Waking up early morning create wonders or working till late night. Yes there are people who work till late night too and create wonders. But the one thing that late night workers and people who wake up early morning has in common is their indispensable work ethic. The achievers always know what they got to do with their time as it is limited and clock ticks the same for every one of us the only difference is how we utilize it. You should have a clear vision of what needs to be done at what time, planning and owning a vision is the key to it. So waking up early and working till late has its own benefit as a whole the underlying principle is how wisely you use your time. Its your work ethic that defines your lifestyle and who you are. It clearly reflects in your personality what you characteristic you own, your principle you have, what values you hold. When in doubt just ask yourself, “Would you like you? If you meet you?” and you will have the answer what need to be change about you. Remember you don't lack anything you could do anything in the world. But it all starts with you and within you. So chose a lifestyle, wake up early or work late night. Its who you want to be and what life you want to live. No one is going to judge you and it doesn't even matter unless you feel happy as a soul. you are awesome and can do any possible thing.

Smile and have a great day.
