Any early risers out here?

I'm not saying that it is always correlated, but I do know a handful of successful people that was up at the ass crack of dawn and start getting after it (by this i just mean healthy bfast, walk the dog, read, meditate) all before others even wake up!

I'm curious to know these three things:

What time do you wake up on average?

What do you accomplish before your workday?

What % to quota are you at for the year, what have you hit historically, or what are you on track to be at this year?

Small victories before work are always welcome to get the right mindset.

- 6.30 AM

- I make my bed, take a shower and do some exercise.

- We have monthly goals. On average I'm 118% up to today (June)

I try and be up by 6-6:15 latest and get in some stretching and a quick workout. I don't focus much on work, but mainly distractions that could pop up during the day, so I'll get some cleaning done, laundry, anything like that. Our FY is April to March and I'm at about 48% of my yearly goal at this point.

I wake up at 6am PST. I am an afternoon workout guy, so my morning time is just "me" time. Watch a show my fiancé isn't interested in, play video game, go for a walk. Quiet time. Breakfast is for me and the dog

I previously would wake up at 6 to workout before I went to the office. Now that I'm working from home though, I usually work out on my lunch. I'd say I get up between 7-7:30?

I've never finished a fiscal year below 120% to quota and am just as productive getting up at 6 as I am getting up at 7:30.

It's not about what time you wake up at...it's about what you do with your time once you're up.

When I am able to work from home I find it very nice to be able to sleep in for an extra hour and use my lunch break to workout also. It is a good mid day break.

I hear you! Not saying that you need to wake up early to be successful. Just saying that I’ve seen it be correlated to success more often that not. Correlation does not equal causation though!

100%! I see tons of reps on my team that work 12hr days as a badge of honor. "Look how hard I work"... It's all about working smarter and not spending all day in the WarRoom browsing posts...opps

Mornings are the best since it's nice and quiet. And the weather isn't as angry.

- 6 a.m.

- Make a healthy breakfast for the family, and set up lunch (usually just cutting stuff up and throwing it in the instant pot for easy cooking later).

- My team is revamping the training course this year while undergoing quite a few internal changes. Lots of changing stuff and then rechanging it to match the new internal changes. Fun!

I wake up at 615 every day (and now on the weekends too thanks to a new puppy). Shower, walk and feed the dog before I start working at about 715-730. My team is at 115% year to date.

I like to rise early but my teams geo forces me into it as well. I am West Coast based but the majority of the team is central and east coast.

However I am far more productive from 730-115 than the remainder of the day. Plus who doesnt like wrapping up their days around 330-4pm and working out, getting outside at that point.

I love going to the gym before work, I find that it helps with my mood and boosts my energy level for the day. It also helps me to be more productive. On average I wake up at 5:45 and leave my house by 6am.

I've been an early rise since the dawn of time (pun fully intended) Waking up before everyone does def makes me feel like I got a step ahead already, great time to get after it and get some work out in.
