Man... I don't.

I had a friend tell me a few days ago that they get up an hour and a half before they're supposed to work to relax and read or shower or whatever. I can't even picture that. I get up 30m before work and rush through coffee+oatmeal because if I slow down and think about how I have to work today it'll make me depressed.

It's better to catch me unawares so I don't have time to ruminate before I'm expected to work. Then before I know it I'll be working and too busy to think about how I'd rather be floating on a cloud while beautiful people feed me grapes off the vine.

That's the neat part.

I don't

discipline beats motivation. make it just something you do, not something to be considered and decided.

you don't need a pep talk for every little thing.

Not to fully disagree here, because sometimes we all need to do things we don't want, but I don't want to live a life where everyday requires unyielding discipline just to get up.

Maybe you're talking more about habits, than forcing yourself to live through another awful day.

I put my alarm far enough away that I need to get up to turn it off. By then I'm already out of bed, which is otherwise the hardest part for me by far.

I used to do this but I learned to sleepwalk. I got an evening job and no longer need an alarm.

I've got young kids. Waking up early is the best time for me to be productive and enjoy solitude.
