Rise early. It is the early bird that catches the worm. Don't be fooled by this absurd law; I once knew a man who tried it. He got up at sunrise and a horse bit him.
Wisdom teaches us that none but birds should go out early, and that not even birds should do it unless they are out of worms.
Believe me, you have to get up early if you want to get out of bed.
The habit of getting up early, which I had formed when the children were young, now became my choice. I am not very bright or very witty or very inventive after the sun goes down.
As soon as I wake up, I read my email to see what news developed overnight.
How we start our day is often how we live our lives
I use my iPhone as an alarm, so when it goes off, I pick it up and casually scroll through whatever emails may have come in while I was asleep.
The first thing I do after waking up is check my phone for news. I like to make sure the world is still here and understand what happened overnight.

I try to start drinking water as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning.
I wake up in the morning and drink my Essentia water first. I keep a liter by my bed. If I get up in the middle of the night, I can just grab it. I try to drink a liter before 10 A.M. The water rehydrates me after sleeping for eight hours.
My son is always up early.
I might have it at six-fifteen a.m. just as soon as I get in, but usually it's about eleven o'clock when I'll have a glass of sherry.
