After coming across a Business Insider article that listed the morning routines of successful CEOs, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at the overall benefits of waking up early. Here are five reasons successful people are up and at it before the rest of the world! TIMEDid you know that if you kept your normal sleeping pattern but woke up just one hour earlier each morning, you would get 15 additional days a year? That’s just crazy! Many successful people wake up early so that they are able to use undisturbed time to do stuff for themselves. Waking up early is great for getting organized, strategic thinking, and planning. Additionally, getting to the office first means fewer distractions from colleagues.
EXERCISEPeople who exercise in the morning tend to have a better work life balance. Working out in the morning will give you extra energy for the day, reduce stress levels, and clear your mind so that you’re focused. Professionals who exercise in the morning are more likely to be productive and therefore successful in their careers.
CLARITYMany early risers claim to have increased creativity and inspiration in the mornings. If you think about it, between the hours of 5 and 6am, no one is really awake. This is why it’s such a good time to do work for yourself rather than others in order to get ahead. Furthermore, social media is at a standstill and you are least likely to get distracted by texts, emails, and phone calls. Early mornings are quiet and the world is at a halt, making the time yours. Successful people use these early hours to exercise, catch up on the news, read, and have breakfast.
BREAKFASTMany people neglect breakfast in the mornings or opt for less healthier options due to time constraints. Waking up earlier allows time for a healthier meal, which increases energy levels and improves productivity.
CONTROLEarly birds have it under control! Instead of rushing into work like everyone else, they have already started their day, and are calm, collected, and accomplished by the time the rest of the world joins them. By getting up just two hours earlier every day, you gain 14 more hours in the week and 62 each month. Imagine what all you can achieve in that much time By Jack Bloomfield November 28, 2018 Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
We all see those motivational videos and articles talking about the benefits of waking up at 5am. But let's be honest, how many of us can really achieve it? The night before, waking up early might seem appealing but when that first alarm does go off, the snooze button always seems like the better option. Here are three ways you can finally smash that goal of waking up early. Go to bed early For most people, 7-8 hours is essential for the body to function the next day. Waking up earlier is going to be so much easier if you are well rested. If you want to wake up 2 hours earlier than usual, go to bed 2 hours earlier. This will be hard for the first few nights but after a week it becomes easy. Also, put your phone out of reach when you go to bed. This means that when the alarm rings you physically have to get up to turn it off in the morning. Have a higher purpose Did you know that by getting up just two hours earlier every single day, you gain 14 more hours in the week and 62 each month? Imagine the kind of progress you could make with that extra time. It's all well and good having 14 more hours in the week but how exactly do you plan to spend it? Become clear with how it will be spent and how this can move you closer to your short/long-term goals. Become clear with why you are getting up What do you plan to achieve by getting up earlier? I would recommend you sit down the night before with a notepad and write down exactly what you want to achieve in those early hours of the morning. When the time comes to roll out of the bed, have this list right next to you so the reason for getting up is incredibly clear. If the reason you are getting up is so important to you, nothing should get in your way of achieving it. We can all think of goals in our life where nothing could stop us, making getting up early one of them. If you honestly want to start creating more time for yourself, getting more done and or feeling better about yourself, try getting up early. Acknowledge that it will be hard at the start but try if for a week and you will see what I'm talking about. Does waking up early make you more successful?Many successful people wake up early so that they are able to use undisturbed time to do stuff for themselves. Waking up early is great for getting organized, strategic thinking, and planning. Additionally, getting to the office first means fewer distractions from colleagues.
How early should I wake up to be successful?The majority of successful business leaders get up no later than 6 a.m., according to a new survey of CEOs from Inc. magazine's latest ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The survey of 1,086 CEOs of U.S. companies on the 2022 Inc.
Why getting up at 5am is the key to success?You'll have more energy. Despite feeling eye-rubbingly lethargic when we get up, the early morning is the time of day when we actually have the highest reserves of energy – thanks to building them up during sleep – and by waking up early you can use that energy more efficiently.
