Could you elaborate a bit more on your morning routine plans? I’d like to get up earlier and do more productive things before I start work (I’m remote and flexible), but as it doesn’t get light here until 8am at this time of year, I find it really hard to get up early.

Currently the sunrise here is at 6:45-7am. I'm up between 5:45-6:00 by myself anyway, but I usually just waste that time checking email/reading HN/reddit. I will make sure to not check phone until 7am. These are my plans and of course there is a big chance that I do not achieve all of this at once, it might take some adjustment, but if I do not check my phone, read and workout it's a win for me. I want to allocate 3-4 hours for myself in the morning.

Getting up early is an amazing feeling, but I learned that by tiring myself for a week, eventually your body will go to bed earlier and you'll wake up earlier. Do it for two weeks and you should be able to become an early riser.

5:30ish - wake up, bathroom etc

5:45ish - Have breakfast. Want to eat slower so I allocate 30 minutes.

6:15ish - 7:00 - read/cook lunch and dinner.

7:00am - head out to the gym

9:00am - back from the gym

9:30ish shower, eat, check email

10 - start working or an hour long nap depending on how I feel.
