I sleep at 2x speed and wake up at 1 am meditating on a KPI meeting so I can self publish 3 books during a shower

[leoricify]

I wake up at 04:30 everyday because my neighbour Karim makes noise early in the morning

[Leo-imoz]

This feels like the intro to american psycho

[JohnDoe-efnv]

Basically: I wake up early, i go to work, I walk, I have meetings, i take trains, i listen to audiobooks.... no need to try to make it seem so extraordinary.

[Ana-wxjm]

I knew the comments will be gold on this one and I can't say I'm dissapointed

[mk]

I wake up at 1:45 am, take a leak and go back to my bed

[zverxie]

You know it's fake when he says he walks 5 miles wearing a white formal shirt

[admiralgeneralaladeen]

1. wake-up at 2
2. Drink the nearest lake
3. workout 43 days of week every 3 minutes.
4. Have 36 meals each day including fried crocodile
5. Don't be confident, let confident be you

I've trained to keep my eyes open throughout the day so that I can spend time wasted blinking, on learning Japanese, Russian and Norwegian at the same time. This is of course as a break from my Astrophysics PhD which is a break from my Decathlon Training

[hieunguyen]

I woke up at 4:30 am just to remind myself not to be like this guy

[larphraulen]

Maybe it's bad editing but I have no idea what this guy does for a living nor what he is pursuing in life.

[russzee]

This is the kind of life that I don’t want to live.

Watching this video at 10x speed while meditating on a treadmill.





Also i woke up at 1am after solid 30minutes of sleep. Crushing it!

Be me, sigma male, everyday I wake up at 0700 and first thing I do is grind coffee beans that is planted by a kid i sponsor in guatemala. Feels good. I only take a sip, it’s a token and leave the rest in memory of the poor kids labours. Then I do compression push ups, which is halfway through every rep, I do a quick updown motion - this effectively gives me 1.5 reps and is the secret to my guns. To save time I used the sweat generated to shower and put soap on. Then I run to work, the sweat from running removes the soap. I have not washed for years. My gf gags at my routine but I replace them each time they do so they know their place. Back at home, I look forward to dinner. Its meat, i eat it raw. My body heat is enough to cook it internally. Money I save from gas I invest in vertical sponsorship. I’m currently the mod of wsb, come at me bro.

Karim : I wake up at 4:30 am.
Me watching this video at 4:30 am:

[alexandrewilson]

1:51min wasted. I could have written 3 books in that time ;)

[EagleTrue]

I wake up at 2 am and listen my audiobooks at 5x speed...

[giantslug]

This is the biggest bunch of horseshit crammed into 1 minute I have ever seen. This has to be parody. 🤣🤣🤣

[fatehi]

He’s heading for a heart attack at 3x speed, letting his life go by at 5xspeed, and making me appreciate my slow life at warp speed!

[gamesandmoreAA]

I wake up everyday at 4:30 and shut my alarm so i can get me some good sleep.
