Is getting up early in the morning really work?


One of the most popular routines we found on the internet is the well-known"5 am routine", which many people ensure to be one of the most influential and life-changing habits. In some cases, they guarantee this routine boosts all your daily way by the simple fact that it makes you get up early in the morning.


I was getting up early in the morning, and I barely noticed changes; I indeed have more hours in the morning, which allows me to do many other things like jogging, reading, and cleaning my home. But, the counterpart is that I finish my day exhausted, maybe because I don't habituate to this new schedule. The truth is if we are searching to improve our time, there are many ways to enhance and maximize our routines and manage them effectively.


It doesn't matter if you wake up at 5 am or earlier; this routine can turn dull and useless if you aren't organized. Don't push yourself to adapt complicated patterns in your daily life; instead, stay focused on scheduling your time and try to enhance the good habits you actually have.


The execution is more critical than the routine itself, which means no matter how early you get up if your productivity is the same at the end of the day. Try to focus more on your goals than on the hour you wake up. Being consistently is another fundamental factor when incorporating changes in your habits.


Prioritize the tasks you have to do throughout the day, and don't obfuscate when the plans are going in other directions. For now, I will continue to adapt myself to this new habit and see how I can manage the tiring effect of standing up before the sun rises.

"OK Boomer"

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
