Some three weeks ago I read a facebook post by @DenLennie, the filmmaker and educator, about becoming a member of the “5.00 am club” as he called it. It was based on the great advice given in a video by Robin Sharma

So I thought I thought I should give it a go. Wow what a difference this has made to my productivity not to mention my well being. I use a great App called ToDoist to plan my time and to help me manage projects. It measures what it calls Karma, or productivity.

I am about to start week 5. I am already seeing huge benefits in my life in ways I would not have envisaged when I started this new journey. I used to be a late night person but I have totally bought into the early bird syndrome. I get up at 5, do 20 minutes exercise, 20 minutes planning and 20 minutes of learning about something new. By the time I sit down for breakfast I have already achieved 3 productive hours.
