“A life hack (or life hacking) is any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life. The term was primarily used by computer experts who suffer from information overload or those with a playful curiosity in the ways they can accelerate their workflow in ways other than programming.!”

It’s actually not very difficult to get up at 5 am. The difficult part of the habit to make hitting the sheets at 10 pm. Luckily the process is self-enforcing. After a couple of days, you are so tired at 10 am that it is autopilot from thereon. What helped me become a morning person is to see this as a trade. I can trade 3 hours of time of mindless social media and Netflix evening time, for 3 hours of productive - actually getting something done time in the morning.
This Wednesday I got this cyanotype done, I also got time to make a pot of my favorite caffeinated brew and put together a video for my youtube channel describing the process. All before 8am and just in time for my real job.
