Believe me, I never thought I would be up that early ... But I am practising this routine for nearly a decade now. It is so rewarding. My mind is clear, zero distractions and the rewarding feeling to have my work done by the time other people are leaving their house going to work.

Get your most important task done right when you get up. After about 2-3 hours our production drops dramatically.
Unless there is an emergency no one should be able to get in contact with you while your doing your important tasks as well

It's all discipline. If you want to be successful in IM, you must become accustomed to not having somebody else (a boss) telling you what to do. And I'll be very blunt and say 99% of people simply can't do it on their own... which is why 99% of people work traditional jobs.

- Write out tasks you intend to accomplish before the end of the day
- Set incremental breaks for yourself throughout the day to avoid burning out
