This morning, just as I was grabbing a coffee while waiting for my train I noticed a copy of Big Magic on a distant table. Suddenly, all cells in my being perked up with excitement. I LOVE that book! I was totally prepared to launch into a conversation with the owner of the book (once they returned to their table), however our paths didn't cross. I have no idea what that person's reading experience is, but sometimes when I see a book I love and another person reading it too.. it makes me want to jump right into talking about all things I love about the book 🥲

Since June 2023, I’ve woken up at 5:15am each weekday. At first, I needed to. I'd moved back to the UK and had a new 9-5, but was also in the final stages of my MSc dissertation. I had to be up early to work on that before the 9-5 as well as after. Since then I’ve finished my MSc, swapped the 9-5 for ghostwriting and coaching, but kept the 5:15am wake up. Why? • Sleeping and waking up earlier has me feeling more energetic throughout the day • Getting 2 hours of writing and a gym session done before 9:30am means I have wins under my belt no matter what else happens that day • I can enjoy my downtime in the evening rather than feeling guilty I'm not moving the needle Being an early bird rocks.
