Dan Lee, a cofounder of the standing-desk company NextDesk, wakes up very early… at 3:30 a.m.
What does he do every morning? These four charging things!
1. He drinks two liters of water followed by two cups of coffee and a smoothie.
2. Then he spends some quality time with his pet. “[I have a] 30 minute ‘mutual appreciation time’ with my dog,” Lee said. “Not sure which one of us benefit from this the most.”
3. Also Lee makes sure to read a book. He’s currently reading “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action” by Simon Sinek.
4. By 5:15 a.m., Lee is at the gym, where he works out until 6:15 a.m.
And that’s it!
Then he spends the next hour showering, shaving, and traveling to his office. By 7:15 a.m., he’s ready to start the day.
According to Lee, this very early schedule is not for everyone. But he shared some tips, if you want to try it:
Don’t go to bed early. “If you can’t fall asleep within five minutes or so it’s probably too early,” Lee said. “My personal belief is that you should turn in when you’re tired.”
Note your plan. “I write down my plan for the following day’s activities before I retire,” he said. “You’ll find that your subconscious will go to work homogenizing all of your activities while you sleep.”
Keep it consistent. Your body will start to adjust to the change. Pretty soon you’ll be an early bird, instead of a night owl!
