How I did it
How to wake up at 5 am
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
Effective

How I did it: Knowing my ability to turn off an alarm in my sleep, I put the alarm across the room so I would have to get out of bed to turn it off. It only takes a few days to get used to it and a couple of weeks for it to be easier. Read how I did it…

40 push ups (read all 4 entries…)
change of tactics 2 years ago

I’m doing sets of 20 daily. The goal is to make it as easy to do 20 as possible. That is, I want to be able to do 20 as quickly as possible. I don’t want the last few to be a struggle. If I miss a day, I’ll do another set of 20.

Still waking up at 5 am 2 years ago

Just to keep everybody updated, I am still waking up at 5 am. At this point, the waking up part is much easier than it was before. The only drawback to my experiment is that staying awake is sometimes a problem. The issue stems from working late or not going to bed early. When I work until midnight or later, it doesn’t give me much time to rest and be back at work the next day. Do that consecutively, and it wears you down. I’ve resorted to napping after waking up. I’ll wake up at 5 AM to keep with the challenge, but then I’ll nap for an hour from 6 to 7 to make up an extra hour of sleep. On days like today, when I have enough sleep, at least 6 hours, staying awake is not a problem.

Offline advertising 2 years ago

I ordered some Moo cards to help promote http://shainemata.net, which seems to be working. Since I started the site, I’ve been getting more and more traffic. There are other blogs for which I have not written in a while that are still getting more visitors. However, if the trend continues, I’ll be passing them soon.
