About this book
You are not going to find more time. Nobody ever has. You are going to create it, at the only hour of the day nobody else has a claim on. Thirty mornings in five phases. First you prepare your life for earlier mornings, because waking early starts the night before. Then you train the getting up. Then you make the hour feel good instead of grim. Then you use it for the work that actually matters to you. And by the end it is not a challenge you completed, it is a sentence you can say about yourself: I am someone who gets up and shows up for my life.
What’s inside
5 chapters, 30 practices
One activity a day, in phases: the same practice for a stretch of days, then a new one.
- 01
Reset: Prepare your life for earlier mornings
Six days of setting the board. Almost nobody fails at waking early in the morning. They fail the night before, and then blame the alarm.
6 practices
- 02
Rise: Master getting out of bed
Six days on the one moment everything else depends on. Not the routine, not the hour, just the four seconds between the alarm and your feet on the floor.
6 practices
- 03
Awaken: Build a morning that feels good
Six days of making the hour something you want rather than something you endure. Nobody keeps a routine they dread, however good the reasons are.
6 practices
- 04
Create: Use the hours you have made
Six days of spending it well. You have earned quiet time that nobody can reach you in. This is the phase where that stops being a routine and starts being a life.
6 practices
- 05
Become: Turn it into identity
Six days where this stops being a challenge you are doing and becomes a thing you are. The goal was never thirty early mornings. It was the sentence you can say about yourself at the end of them.
