It's easy to spend 'work time' replying to emails and calls, responding to social media messages, and scrolling through the latest news feed. Waking up at 5 in the morning boosts creativity, energy, and productivity. This will ensure that there's a payoff to getting up at 5 am, which delivers results and is worth ignoring the snooze button for. We'll then unpack some of the ways that can help us structure the perfect morning routine. Furthermore, a productive morning routine is incomplete without a dose of inward reflection, so we'll examine what Sharma calls 'the four interior empires.'
