So here’s what I think:
For those of you who have a skillset at waking up anytime earlier than work - I recommend MP. This can be your workout, or sitting in a coffee shop, or going on a walk, or even watching TV.
Reclaim your morning! We grew up just eating breakfast as quick as possible and sprinting to school. (Well, I did.)
It’s easier to focus on working if you already had MP.

📟For me, I know that I am going to get the most stuff done when I first wake up. I don’t even do the things that are going to distract me like my phone or sitting down until I finish. I also unintentionally created incentive for myself because I don’t play my little word games until get a bunch of stuff done that I need to 🤪
Everyone has a time during the day where they have the most energy and focus. Figure out when that is for you and try to work with that. I know for me that the longer the day goes on the less likely I am to do those things, so I plan around it. Some people actually can only work like that at like, 8 PM. Maybe you’re nuts and work really well after lunch!!!
Anyway, TLDR, pay attention to your natural rhythm and work with it.

😃the problem that most people have with balancing their day job and creative work is that they do the day job part first, which means that (1) you’ve already given your most productive hours to The Man and (2) when you get done with 8 hours of bullshit, instead of getting to rest you now have to motivate yourself to do *more work*, which is immensely demotivating.
in contrast, if you wake up early and do your creative work *before* the day job, you’ll have way more energy to give to your projects, and when you get home from The Man you get to rest easy knowing you already put in your hours for the day. even though i work freelance now i still implement this - wake up early, work out, do my writing, and *then* i worry about shit for my clients. i highly recommend it

⭐There's nothing like doing shit in the morning. Heading out to surf or walking your dog with a ripping hot cup of coffee. If you gotta get actual stuff done you're hella productive. If you need to go somewhere like the gym it's less busy. If you wanna write or paint or something it's quiet and peaceful. You get all the "me" time it's hard to get any other time.

🏡If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
