Excellent advice! I'm a real grumpy old bear in the morning and, despite three young children and a wife who has to get up very early for work, I'm quite keen to give this a go. At least I'll have an hour of 'me' time, even if it's just vegging out, which is quite different to having to get up for others (which I do now).

Cheers,
Sheamus

You know, it's really odd, but i feel like I got more done over Memorial Day weekend than I normally would in a regular week. There's definitely something to be said about taking some selfish time for yourself so that you don't feel pressured to do anything.

Hi Randy,

Actually, that's exactly what I mean. Those are what my quiet times involve as well. But you're right.. some people will use them for different things.

You didn't mention anything regarding spirituality. I have a quiet time everyday basically the same thing you said but also involving prayer, scripture memorization, bible study…
Perhaps you neglected the point because you felt like you'd be isolating people by mentioning religion however meditation is such a basic tenant of most religions I'd think it is worth mentioning at least.

A question – I recently started waking up about an hour and a half earlier to go to the gym. It's been great for me, because working out so early makes me feel great for the entire day, and since it's important for me to workout every day, I can get it out of the way first thing in the morning and not worry about it when I get home tired from work in the evening.

I read your post and really wanted some quiet time like you described – but now I will have to wake up another hour earlier, at 5AM instead of 6AM. What do you think? Is the gym a substitute for this sort of hour or should I try to fit in both?

I'm definitely such a non-morning person. It's a bit like a love/hate relationship though. Often I don't like to wake up and I really don't get a lot done before noon. The evening is my most productive time of the day. But when I do get up early and have some time, I really enjoy it. It even smells different outside, the air is still fresh from the night.

It might definitely be a good idea to just implement this in my daily routine. It would probably give me a better focus throughout the day. The main problem for me is the fact I go to sleep quite late. And then at night I don't feel like setting my alarm clock early because I want to get a good amount of sleeping hours. But I think I should just try.
