It is so funny to me when people on this website absolutely refuse to believe that some people really do like to rise early and get things done in the morning.

I almost certainly get lots of stuff done before you get out of bed. You probably get more done than I do in the evening. I don't know why so many of you get bent out of shape about the former but not the latter.

Oh, the CEO superman mythos is not just about the early rise-time. That's just part of the story of pure ascetic discipline without any detectable sacrifice along any axis. Perfect execution at work, perfect maintenance over one's health and physical shape, perfect family life, perfect mental conditioning and intellectual enrichment. In other words, CEOs are better than any and all of us, in every possible way.

There is a great parody made about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7qjN3KF8U

I recommend it, it's rather spot on.

According to this schedule, Wahlberg has eaten three breakfasts before I've eaten anything. Is he a hobbit? :D
