If you have to get up at 4am to get any work done, your workplace is broken. If you’re the CEO doing this, why aren’t you fixing your broken workplace rather than running away from it?
Accepting that work can’t happen at work is productivity bankruptcy. It’s time to restructure your processes and principles. Dump your toxic liabilities and invest in some healthy habits.

It’s also the most important message in It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work. Getting up at 4am just so you can hide from your organization is the definition of crazy. It doesn’t have to be that way. Please learn how. basecamp.com/books/calm
