The Summer of 6AM: How Waking Up Early for 60 Days Changed My Confidence, Calendar, and Career

Confession: I used to wake up like a panicked raccoon. Now I rise like a Zen CEO.

Week 1: “Why am I awake? The sun isn’t even clocked in.”

Waking up early in summer feels illegal. But here’s the catch — your brain LOVES it. No notifications. No chaos. Just you, your thoughts, and the occasional confused pigeon.

Pro tip: Don’t start with a 30-step morning routine. Just get up. Walk. Breathe. Laugh at how smug you feel by 7am.

Week 3: I Became a Time Wizard

• I started finishing tasks before my old self even woke up.
  
  
• Emails were answered. Workouts crushed. I had time to make breakfast with eye contact.
  
  

My calendar? She’s never looked so polite.

Week 6: New Levels of Confidence

There’s a quiet confidence in knowing you’ve owned the day before the world even opens its eyes. I wasn’t just early — I was in control.

I wasn’t perfect every day. Some mornings I stared at the ceiling questioning life and God. But that’s part of it. Progress > Perfection.

Want to Try It? Here’s the Mini Challenge:

• Set your alarm 30 min earlier for 3 days.
  
  
• Use the time for you — no phone.
  
  
• Reflect, move, breathe, or write.
  
  

Then watch your identity quietly upgrade.
