What
do Tim Cook?
Michelle Obama, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson or Jack Dorsey have
in common.
In addition to being people who have had enormous professional and personal success,
having a very high income and an ultra tight schedule.
They have something in common that the rest of us mortals find very difficult.
They get up very early.
And when we say very soon we speak of 3:45 at which the
CEO of apple opens his eyes at 5:30 at which the CEO of
twitter starts running, or at 4:30 at which time the
former first lady of the United States begins to exercise on an empty
stomach.
It is true that getting up early will not guarantee success in life, but it will make your
life more orderly in that order will lead you to accomplish the goals you have set for
yourself, Kurt Bilafer, for a senior executive of the company.
Wepay an internet integrated payment platform, decided five years ago
to make a decision instead of waking up at six as he had been doing since he was
18 years old, he set the alarm at 5 a.m. And a couple of months
later he put it on 3:45 the same time that tim Cook has his first
coffee.
This extra effort changed his life completely.
The first hours of the day are a very productive time in which I can set my priorities
before anyone or something dictates them for me.
He says in this article he published in Forbes.
Now let's see five career changing benefits of getting up at 4 a.m.
At 4:00 AM.
Nobody will send you an email, nobody is tweeting anything interesting and there are no
calls.
These are distraction free hours.
The executive takes advantage of these hours to make his objectives for the day and
to do the work that requires greater concentration.
Taking advantage of the silence in his house.
Being in your house with absolute darkness surrounding you.
Makes your mind more creative.
The relaxation and concentration you experience make it easier to solve the most
complex tasks, but this time does not have to be dedicated to
something work either, it can also be used for a hobby that you cannot dedicate time
to the rest of the day.
While everyone seems to be in a
rush in the mornings and hardly has a moment to reflect.
Early risers can think calmly and organize their schedules slowly and
conscientiously and more planning means a higher success rate as
highlighted by Kurt Bilafer.
Our decisions and our jobs are often guided by the routine.
They are a Jack, a Night and a King.
However, at four in the morning without distractions, we can think in a deeper
way according to the experts at that time.
Brain can reflect on the most complex problems and arrive at a more calm solution
than if it did in a moment of stress.
Getting up at four means that you have to go to bed at around 10 at night
and that routine brings rigor and discipline to your life.
No series or television programs.
This discipline begins in the morning as soon as you get up.
But Bilafer Cautions, those two hours you gain when you wake up at 4:00 AM
should not be dedicated to mundane activities, but to tasks and
experiences that really add value to your life, whether it is going to the gym,
exercising, thinking about how to be more successful professionally or
study.
