Wake up to my kid scream whispering at my baby to stop kicking me in the throat, change diapers make coffee and eggs, read a couple headlines about how it's the worst time in history to be alive, make lunches clean up breakfast and leave for work late to attend the daily all company hour long standup.

In all seriousness, sans young baby the most productive time of my life has been fitting exercise/side project time in between 4:30-6am. I made some real gains during that time and plan to get back into that routine once sleep isn't so rare.



I was with you in the first paragraph. My kids are young adults now but I feel your pain.

In lost you when you mentioned being up at 4:30 willingly.
