"wake up early" and " In the morning you are fresh and you can work without distractions, usually accomplishing 2-3 times more work than in the evening"<p>Some people are morning people some people aren't.<p>I am not a morning person - left to my own devices I will sleep late and stay up late. I find the quiet of evenings and night productive.<p>However I have been waking up early since the birth of my first child 8 years ago. For years I got up between 6 and 7am - children need taking to school and all that. After all these years I still struggle with the mornings - its 11am at least before I am "all systems go" and I still find I am at my peak later in the day.<p>So is this universal advice for everyone? No - of course not and I am not presenting it as such. Odd that the author of the article believes that <i>their</i> experience is universal and that the world will be a better place if everyone does things their way.
