  • I'm waking up early for a few years already and decided to record a video about - why you should try to wake up at the same time every day as well.

    04:00 "work first for yourself, and then work for someone else!". This touched me!! I am 24 and all my interest is to learn things in order to get a job, but I never thought about learning just for myself!!
    This inspired me to take the first step...and..tomorrow I will get up at 4 am! Thank you🙏🏽✌🏽♥️

    The weak side of me wins most of the time and slows my progress. But I recently found your channel and I consider it a gold mine. Can't thank you enough for all the incredibly useful content you post here! I feel inspired and motivated after listening to you and I will try harder to stay on the right path and become a programmer. Self-teaching is indeed a big challenge that I will overcome soon.

    Two issues:
    1 - When you work this early you should finish by 1 or 2 p.m., but the slackers that come in late expect you to stay late with them.
    2 - To get up at 4 a.m. you have to go to sleep at 8 p.m. or at least no later than 9 p.m.
    Unless both of the above scenario rules are followed you will work excessive hours and not get enough sleep.
    In the end you will burn out at work and compromise your be personal health.

    • @AivarsMeijers
      @AivarsMeijers  Před 3 lety +6

      Valid points. Totally agree with you.
      If you are working in classic day job and no willing to find time for side projects there are no real reason to start so early. Sleep in together with all the slackers :)
      I'm privileged to manage my own working hours, so that is not a problem for me.
      Usually I'm in a bed at 9-10pm, sleeping for about 6-7h.
      I tried to sleep for 8h, but had difficulties to sleep more than 7h, so I guess that I sleep enough.

    I agree, I wake up at 6 am every day. But when I get to work with guys from the USA / Canada, I often should get on a call in around 6 PM, which means my workday is 12 hours which, in a long run means burnout to me. I am using your Notion template (thanks a lot btw) and set a goal to be client-independent till the end of this year and will get up at 6am without any issue haha

    It's good that you search for ways to be productive, but cutting your sleeping schedule is very bad for your health. If this works for you and you feel healthy and happy it's ok. But if you know that you are getting depressive, or you see your health is going worse, don't cut your sleeping schedule. The human body needs good sleep. Great video btw.

    • @AivarsMeijers
      @AivarsMeijers  Před 3 lety +1

      yeah, valid point. It doesn't worth to cut hour or few from sleep if you are paying with health. Also, working while you are tired is not great. That's like driving with flat tire because you "don't have time" to stop and change it :)

      @AivarsMeijers  Před 3 lety +1

      Well, I think quite a lot of us sleeping about 6-7 hours, so that's now so unusual. But if I feel a bit tired in a mid day I just taking a 15-30 minute nap.
      Currently we are on lock down, so I do nothing much but planing some time on evenings with family and just go out for a walk. When travel was a thing I often seen mornings for work, days for exploring and vacation mode and I cut nights to 4-5 hours compensating that by naming on the beach.
