Some people find it to be a huge help to start their day immediately with a scheduled activity like a class at a gym. 6am spin class or crossfit or some shit.

Forces you to get up and get your ass moving first thing and if you can ride the endorphins out of the gym and into a bunch of other productive activities you will probably get more done by lunch than any other whole day.

Something something idle hands something devil's workshop

That seems like it makes sense. Which probably stems from me not having a regular sleep cycle with some of the Twitch streaming I do at night. Trying to balance work/family/life along with that is pretty difficult to get a good sleep schedule. Maybe I’ll try to do some workouts or exercises before work if I don’t feel dead in the morning.

It needs to be a regimented "I now do this regardless" activity. If you put in the qualifier of "If I dont feel dead" then you never will, because who feels fantastic getting up at 5:00 to go to the gym?

Oof you got me! I had a feeling I’d be called out for the qualifier and with good reason! The reason for that was if I’m going to sleep late, then 5am gym isn’t feasible, but it sounds like I need to recalibrate my schedule so I don’t feel dead to be able to accommodate for some kind of morning activity.

Oh dont get me wrong, my advice is generic. I dont know your life, I dont even follow my own advice. But I start work at 5 so my alarm goes off at 4:15 so I start my day by arriving at work cranky and go from there. I go on the way home every day because I know if I go home first its game over on the rest of the day.

Fair, fair. I totally get it, I will agree though that your basic premise is still true: qualifiers aren’t the way to achieve a goal. Really just becomes reasoning to justify why you couldn’t achieve it.

We do all live our own lives, but I appreciate the callout you made and want to respect that. I start work at 8 but work from home so my alarm is like 7:30 and I just feel groggy anyways but again, probably due to lack or sleep and lack of a stricter schedule on my part. A bit harder for me to plan out with a family but I should be trying harder.
