Don’t Wake Up Early

I woke up at 6:30a this morning to get a head start on the day. I wanted to add a bunch of prospects to cadences from SalesForce but my companies SalesForce data is so disconnected and wrong that I spent 2 hours wanting to blow my brains out instead. Its now 9am and I've gotten nothing done. Don't wake up early, folks.

Mine was a shitshow today too. Everytime they refresh overnight many of my fields get deleted. Yet they claim ignorance when I complain.

Regardless of this outcome today, you made an attempt, and concurrent attempts will eventually be fruitful my friend.

yeah I suppose there are some pros. Like not feeling like you're missing out on potential income by taking time off.

i am a huge advocate of waking up early. not because of all the BS reason linked in influences will tell you, but because im just a morning person haha.

Wake up early to meditate and exercise, then get started on time.

But it always happens like that.. Murphy's Law biting you in the ass

Ouch. I get up early too, but that's so I'm awake when I truly get started.

I wake up at 6 every day, but not to work. I hit the gym, make breakfast, get ready, then am usually working around 8:30

lol had a similar thing happen to me (not waking up early) but I was super motivated to add new accounts to SF and my SF account wouldn’t let me for hours

Wake up early to do self care things, if you’re salary you’re getting paid the same amount either way also.
Unless I have a meeting I’m swinging in an alt timezone something else in the same vein, I am clocking in my 9-5 time.

We work enough in our lifetimes to not work OT and live. Unless you’re hourly, or working/better yet closing a deal; I don’t see the value.

I'm kinda curious now to take a poll of salespeople here who use SF and whether or not they feel it's being "optimized" by their company.

All these companies are using SF (mine included) but many don't know how to streamline/organize data and it completely screws over their salespeople

I wake up at 6.30am every day to read a bit and nurture connections for my personal business. I avoid discord, basecamp because that's where my boss reign and most of the time i disagree with his ways of management. I have separate email client for personal mail and work mail, i avoid the second too.
