4:00 A.M. A Productivity Argument.
As you will discover in these pages, I began testing the idea of waking up at 4:00 A.M. out of desperation and frustration. I never expected to find two full hours of focus and concentration.
In my experience, this is what people do (I used to do it too):
Wake up running, run to work, run at work, run to get home, deal with family routines, hope family goes to bed, then finally Work on the most important stuff.
We have done it for generations, and it is wrong. This is what we should do:
Work on the most important stuff first so we don't need to run to work, at work, or to get home and instead of dealing with family, can enjoy family.
When you think about it, it makes sense to do your most important stuff first, but for some reason we do it last. To change this, you need to switch your pattern of behavior. I did it, and the experience was fantastic.
Think about the following: When was the last time you got two hours of focused time to work? (My answer is this morning, at 4:00 A.M.)

Thankfully very short. Hard to read with all the spelling and grammar errors. Content was very repetitive for such a short book.

This book lays out facts why your life can be better if you wake up earlier. Gives great evidence of how it may benefit your life. It turned me into a believer! Word of caution though: this book has terrible grammer and spelling. I feel that if you can get past all the grammatical errors, you will find that it is not a waste of time.

What a great, and quick, read! I'm inspired! Not sure if I'll get up at 4am, but the idea really resonates with me. Thanks to Augusto Pinaud for sharing, yet again, another great idea to improve my life!

Interesting thoughts
I like the theory behind it and it makes sense from the idea of doing or thinking silence. This is a lost art and author does bring up some great ideas.
