Waking up and working before anyone else is awake allows you to get important but not urgent work done.
Once other people are awake, they make other things seem more urgent. You lose clarity on what's actually important.
This helps you achieve long-term goals faster.

The only secret to getting up early is going to bed early. That takes discipline.
If you've been in bed for 8 hours, it's not hard to wake up at 5AM.
But that means you're in bed by 9/9:30 PM.
Ideally (for best sleep), tech free after 8 PM.

Especially if you have kids this is an incredible way to get your most important work done every day.
Once kids are awake - if you're not completely isolated, they will sip your attention, and your time can be taken for minor urgencies.
Compounding gains while others sleep.

This is especially important for newly WFH folks impacted by Covid.
I couldn't imagine actually getting any work done from 9-5 with kids at home.
If I don't work from 5/6AM to 12PM, it's just not a productive day.
If I do work at 5AM, I can do a full-days work in a few hours.
