So I've been trying to put into practice being consistent with my commitment towards the process for my goals, and it's been an interesting road of experimentation.
After trying out different strategies, I started waking up early every day. I started with 5:30 for a week and then once I was consistent, started waking up @ 5AM and starting my day with my schedule and what I had planned for the day - I have my days mapped out so that I can follow through on the process commitments.
Man, what a difference waking up at 5AM has been. It's like a switch was flipped and it brought everything into focus. It is the first decision of my day and when I make it, all my decisions for the rest of the day just fall into place. I also have so much time to get everything done. I am loving it. It's actually quite intoxicating to be so productive and also have energy throughout the day.
It's also helped me greatly to get better sleep because I am tired from the day and my mind goes into rest mode as soon as I hit the pillow. I am getting deep sleep and having good rest is so important to capitalize on the gains from working out and climbing.
I am also eating better because I have time now to make proper breakfasts and lunches.
It's completely changed my life around and I have such a positive outlook when I succeed with that one decision to not hit the snooze button and get out of bed.
Anyways, just sharing some positives. Not sure what I am doing will work for you and your schedule, but the waking up early has been the catalyst for good decision making and is the glue that holds everything together. I just can't imagine not waking up early any more.
