Why waking up at 6am won’t make you successful

Why waking up at 6am won’t make you successful

If you want to be successful, many experts and life-hackers say you should: 

  • Wake up at 6 am 
  • Take a cold shower 
  • Exercise 
  • Meditate 
  • Journal and brainstorm 
  • Review and set goals 
  • Read news and industry sites 
  • Consume inspiring content 
  • Eat a protein-rich breakfast 

That's a lot to do before 8 am. These routines may look great, but there is often a misplaced emphasis on morning.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
