Working hard is simple, but it isn’t easy. Working hard every single day and working longer hours than you do at work isn’t as easy as talking about how hard you already work at your day job.

I’m going to keep this story short and to the point because time is extremely valuable and time is money, so it’s better spent working after one has learned enough.

Wake up earlier to do work

Nobody likes doing it. Everyone would rather stay in bed and fight their demons before they even begin to think about leaving the comfort of their bed.

There’s no time to waste, and the day will only become shorter as you continue lying in bed producing nothing of value.

When the sun rises, so do you. That is my philosophy for waking up early.

Of course, get at least seven hours of sleep to a maximum of nine hours. Sleep is necessary, but contemplating getting out of bed isn’t.

Work later

Most people enjoy this one, but I don’t.
