How to Do Hard Things

I have a family member who has been going to sleep at 7:30 and waking up at 3:30 every day for a decade or more. And that's with three kids.

People do, in fact, do this. Absolutely fucking baffling to me, but they do.

I find it convenient mainly because I have kids. You can do quite a lot of heavy lifting in those first few quiet hours before they wake up.

Whether you can or should do it depends heavily on your particular circumstances, of course. But when I started doing it, I wondered why more people weren’t talking about it. Personally, I find it fantastic.

I can totally see this under the context of having kids, makes complete sense. Glad it works for you!

Wow, that’s pretty aggressive but if it works, I guess it works.

Reminds me of some friends that work third shift, and they’re working through nights and sleeping during the day and I don’t get how they pull it off.
