I’m Putting Ben Franklin to the Test
“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” – Ben Franklin
I’ve always been more productive when waking up earlier. I’m going to put BF to the test by actually measuring production, profits and my own personal health while getting up earlier.
For the next two weeks I plan to record how much I am getting done, how much money I make and how I’m doing healthwise. I’ll share my results along the way.
I always thrive when I’m challenged. When you are self-employed it’s vital that you challenge your self to make sure you stay on track and keep money rolling through the door. At the same time you have to take care of yourself.
What I know I will gain from this experiment is productive time. I call it productive time because I tend to be more alert in the morning which lends itself to focus. When I’m focused I get more done. When I get more done I feel better about what I’m doing and the productivity increases.
I basically see it as a chain reaction. When I get more done, I’ll obviously make more money. When I make more money I’ll feel better about going to the gym and spending time taking care of myself vs. trying to work more to earn money.
I will start by getting up at 6am. This is about 2 1/2 hours early than I’ve been getting up lately.
Here we go! Day 1 starts in 12 hours. 
I’ll let you know how it goes.
