Here’s an experiment worth doing:
No electronics first thing after you wake up.
I promise you, you’ll feel better, be less distracted, and it’ll allow you to focus far better each day!
Try it!

Love the energy.
The problem with this is my alarm is my phone 
I have to look at it but…
I can certainly skip checking my emails right after I stop my alarm.
Thank you.

I at least managed so far not to use electronics until after a little workout and shower in the morning. But while I’m brewing my first coffee I’m reading through some of my mails (threat feeds - occupational, part of the job; IT Security). Private emails are usually untouched until noon though.
i have to start doing this more often, i panic sold POWR just now watching the charts… and lost about half 2/3 of my stack
lessons learned, the hard way i guess … rip tho…

I’m going try this 100% as to far as i’m already waking up when my brain wakes me but i’ve made a routine of wake - get up - check blockfolio, check pub, check instagram…then get going to the gym/day.
Plan of attack now is to up, snack/preworkout, prepare for gym, out the door & not check anything till home again!

I use my alarm to get me up but I try not to look at my phone first thing. Admittedly I will see a text and this will distract me.
Going to try and not use an alarm and get up when I wake up. I did get up earlier today and I exercised then did a b90x (still have 2 more b90x’s to catch up on after work).

No phone, no problem.
I know I can follow this routine since I drive for a living. With a class B CDL It’s illegal to use a phone within working hours. But as soon as I clock out I’m 5 hours straight of Decentralized TV and thebitcoin.pub

@peter would you recommend just buying an entirely separate alarm clocking instead of using your phone as an alarm?

I’ve been doing this for a few months already. Although my phone is my alarm, it’s a really old phone, so I can’t really do anything on it except call and text, so I just turn off the alarm and get started with my day. Apart from just writing down my weight for the day, I don’t use any electronics until usually two hours after I wake up.
I will try and see how much more efficient I can get by not reading email or news while I have my breakfast. Eating can really drag out on time if you get distracted reading something, you forget that you’re actually eating!
Update on yesterday. I got to bed an hour earlier yesterday, and woke up at 5:18 this morning, no alarm needed. No problem being too sleepy to wake up, so I got started right away.

Damn it Petah, here I thought I was doing good waking up early, no I realize I was doing the WRONG thing! I am replacing emails with accomplishing tasks related to my Vision and Mission!
