I envy people like Sara Soueidan or Dan Mall who get up really early to do creative, meaningful work in the calmer morning hours before the busyness of the day kicks off. And although I’ve always been a night owl, I am currently starting to enjoy going to bed and getting up a little earlier. Maybe, I am on my way to becoming more of a morning person while I’m approaching my forties? Who knows.
Since reading Sara’s typical day, and commenting on it, I’ve started doing meaningful work first thing in the morning as I drink my first cup of coffee and before driving into the office. I’ve been an early riser for years but I mostly consume information early in the morning rather than do creative work. I’ve flipped that around now and I’m loving it.
